Yes unfortunately it was finished. It was called the Return of the King =
and it was truly horrible, even worse than the first part. The Animation =
wasn't as good and the writing could have been done better by Daniell =
Steel. The only redeeming quality it had was the song the Orcs were =
singing while the were marching through Mordor and mistook Frodo and Sam =
for Orcs. The real important part is not to watch the end of the show =
(After they Return to the Shire) what few high points it had are =
completely destroyed by the final line in the movie. It is so bad I won't =
bother to tell it here as it may result in some of you seeking out the =
writer and Disembowling him.
