SYNOPSIS


Frodo  the Hobbit, the remarkable hero of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of
the Rings trilogy, battles more  evil  forces  plaguing  Middle  Earth  in
The Return of the King, continuing the wondrous animated adventures first seen in The Hobbit.

The  Magic  Ring of The Hobbit has now become the Ring of Doom --
and to restore peace it must be destroyed in the raging fires in  which
it was made. Chosen for the task, Frodo and faithful servant Samwise face  grave  perils  --  the  worst of which is the ring's terrible power to
possess its wearer. Will Frodo give in to the madness of the ring...  or
will he fulfill his quest?
