- I was watching Ralph Bakshi's animated Lord of the Rings movie and was caught off guard when Aragorn trips and falls on his face like a fucking idiot. Why was this in the movie?

Just imagine the animator laughing his ass off from the original footage and being like "dude, this is gold, I will animate it as is."
Possibly a budget or time reason. I like to think it is spite though.
Other than just production constraints (although it would save time and effort just cutting the animation short) it would probably be more out of a fucking around attitude rather than spite
I like how they slowed it down to emphasize it though lmao
Especially as it was shot in slow motion. They really must've laughed their butts off.
Spite Animation @@justinpatterson2823
Weird. My first impression was that they kept it because it shows that Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are desperate to catch up with the orcs.
I love how serious the whole scene is, and then dude trips.
Bakshi or Aragorn?
@@warlordofbritannia Bakshi was tripping the entire film. Like all his films right?
Thats the point. He falls because he is exhausted or the falling portrays how difficult their trip was
@@ButcherOfBeek Actually he tripped because his right foot got caught in the scabbard of his sword when he was taking the right step.
@@ButcherOfBeek he tripped because the actor that the animator was rotoscoping tripped in the scene, and I guess they just decided to go with that take
They were tracking the orcs, and the orc leader trip and fell, so Aragorn did as well to avoid losing the tracks!
The guy is dedicated. Can't blame him for that!
"an orc tripped here..." *falls over*
It seems so obvious now!
A master tracker indeed
That is what peak performance looks like
Fun fact: the animated character portraying Aragorn actually broke is foot in this scene
I really hope this is true and not a troll fact because of how Viggo broke his toes in the live-action lord of the rings.
@@deadlyfingerx6788toe foot curse
@jygb7092whoosh
Fun fact: the movie was rotoscoped, so that was a real guy tripping.
@@mattgrant5341 the “DiD yOu kNoW aRaGoRn BrOke hIs tOeS” joke needs to die.
"What do your elf eyes see?"
"Too much. Aragorn, put on some pants."
😂
Haha 😂😂😂
I cannot get over them running serpentine for no reason
Lmfao
Or the way they run
I read the implication as being like, the original footage had people running around obstacles and then when they animated it they couldn't afford to add rocks and sticks on the ground for them to be running around
I don’t know how I’ve never noticed that before HAHAHA. It looks so ridiculous I love it.
To avoid the snipers, obviously
The fact that it’s in slow motion makes it even more hilarious
Everyone in this movie is hilarious. Especially Gandalf. It is difficult to describe the levels of insanity induced by this film.
I like how everyone is a massive dick to Sam for no apparent reason.
Gandalf: I should really be going.
Also Gandalf: But Sam is such a derp
Gandalf: *pointless jumpscare incoming*
One might say it has ‘Ralph Bakshi’ levels of insanity
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY AND ENDLESSLY EASY BASIC SIMPLISTIC AND ELEMENTARY AND IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY ;difficult; CUT THE FCKING BS FCKING NBD
Eruman! EERRUUUMANNNNNN!
I love how they carefully navigate a completely flat and empty path.
Yeah, the way they were running, I only wonder why it took so long for someone to fall
He absolutely rocks that cocktail dress he’s wearing though.
Underrated comment lol
I just want to pinch his ass.
When I was younger I figured they made him trip because it made him look more human, like he's fatigued or something. Now I watch it and...he trips on his own sword sheath like what
This was animated over real people so the actor likely genuinely tripped but they kept it in. Took the time to edit and animate that mistake lol
@@jimbobhk2009what really
The movie is rotoscoped so the actor really tripped over his sword and they animated it lol
It makes perfect sense he would trip like that. Much more sense than to watch Gimli trip and roll down a hill and then fall off a horse and the rest of his antics.
@@zmajodnocaja5088 Tako je. True that.
There are no words to describe the love I feel for this movie, if only for all the wrong reasons
You can measure the exact amount of coke taken by Ralph Bakshi by watching
Yeah we're spoiled with the Peter Jackson trilogy. Imagine someone born in the 1940s and they were a big Tolkien fan and they lived only long enough to when after this movie was made but also before the Jackson trilogy. It would suck not having lived to see a big budget masterpiece like Peter Jackson's trilogy.
@@PlanetShlorpian I would like to die before "Rings of Power".....
@hater2764 I'd like to die after a Silmarilion HBO Max mini series set in the same cannon as the films to be made, in other words probably never lol
@hater2764 But yes ROP is crap. I mean on an objective level it's better than this but also on an objective level it truly wasn't really good either.
Acting set: "An actor tripped and fell during a B-footage shoot. Obviously, we'll just cut it out."
Director: 🤣
Cameraman: 🤣
Team of Rotoscopers: 🤣
Team of Editors: 🤣
Audience: 🤔
I love how they initially run in a serpentine pattern, and Legolas and Gimli follow the exact same way.
They are avoiding sniper fire, that's all
Blame the painters. The actors were pretending to follow a path.
future king of gondor everyone!
Viggo Mortensen broke his foot in homage to the actor here. The dedication is breathtaking.
😂
That's what he get for trying to run all fast ahead of everybody else
Plus cutting the corner a bit, which is cheating.
“After 56 takes, this was the best one” - Ralph Bakshi (probably)
He thought he was hot shit running ahead of them
Okay this took me out
Look at me I'm fast 😅
I'd call it an outtake that just mistakenly got left in during the editing process... only someone had to actually animate it during the rotoscoping process, which means someone in charge saw it and said "yeah that looks fine, leave it in"
Ralph Bakshi is notorious for not doing multiple takes when rotoscoping. In turn a lot of his works have funny quirks like this in em
@@jonathanpilcher337In other words he's a notoriously poor director.
@@gorgolyt he was a low budget director who made hugely beloved hits regardless. I think that shows some real skill
@@gorgolytRalph Bakshi is a chad bro
Aragorn's bouts with vertigo have been well documented throughout the books.
Man, this adaptation of the story is... special.
Especially Sam :|
@@av84k74 sam is a fucking freak in this
@av84k74 Yeah, they really did a job on Sam in the animation. A big let down.
Yeah that's one way to put it.
It’s bakshi’s insistence on keeping in the film the first take of a voice over or rotoscoping shot that I find extremely fascinating. Most filmmakers would take that out. This kind of thing happens in Fritz the Cat too. An inexperienced voice actor delivers their line early and he repeats it 5 seconds later, clearly a mistake that they just insist on animating it anyway. It’s so crazy to see it in major cinema.
That makes a lot of sense. I'd say it works better for the tweaking rabbit in Fritz, but this is still gold.
Weren't they on the Fritz when making that movie?
@@ArbaalI certainly thought I was when I watched it. Pretty good movie tho, I liked it lol
Bakehi probably figured that anyone watching one of his movies got what they deserved. 😂
Fritz the cat is a great movie, but the sexual abuse scene is hard to watch and even harder to recommend to people lol
I also found it strange that they were serpentining in the open plain.
Reminds me of running as a kid, especially when Gimli copies the exact path without any reason except that his friend did it
Alright, settle down class. The book made a pretty big deal about how the Three Hunters ran continuously with no food or rest, and even debated whether to sleep at all during the night or just keep running in the pitch blackness. They ended up covering the distance of more than five consecutive marathons (135 miles) over four days before they met Eomer and the Rohirrim. The dude was fatigued, hungry, and sleep deprived; of course he stumbled. This was being accurate to the source material. A+
Neeeeeerd
He tripped over his scabbard in the animation lmao
@@heycidskyja4668 Dude tripped over his scabbard in real life. This is rotoscope animation like what Joel Haver does. It's animated over live actors. The guy actually tripped and they decided to leave it in.
did we really need to see Aragorns panties though?
CLUMSY ASS ARAGORN
A little-known fact is that Aragorn's full Numenorian name is *Native Amaragorn.*
Laughing so hard rn
This wins the internet
As someone who had tripped and fallen once, this really inspires me to trip and fall again.
Beautiful, what an encouraging story! Thank you for giving me the courage to go out and give tripping and falling another chance! XD
Like Aragon and many who came before me in this thread I have also known what it is like to have tripped and fallen
When you fall, pick yourself up and fall again
and, with practice, trip and fall even better
He who trips and falls away may live to trip and fall another day
The way they're running combined with the slow motion fall has me crying 😂
something about them pursuing the orcs by haphazardly sprinting for several kilometers without stopping is really funny
That's actually way much more than just several kilometers. They run nonstop for 4 days straight.
Fun Fact: Aragorn is accurately depicted here as being Native American with a British accent.
Of course, who peopled the Americas after the continent was created by Eru Iluvatar when He bent the world round nigh the end of the Second Age? Only Numenorean sailors, survivors of the Akabellath both Black and Faithful, kin of the Dunedain and Aragorn, could've made the crossing.
Yeah, as wonderful as Vigo Mortensen is, this guy is how I imagine Aragorn in the books.

You jest, surely?
@@gaiusjuliuscaesar9902 Other than the hair maybe, not really.
All jokes aside, I find the background paintings stunning. Loose, expressive but still convincing enough to create an immersive experience for the viewer. The brushstrokes are confident and powerful. How lovely.
This is actually an underrated aspect of this movie, the background paintings are beautiful.
I find them to be rather shallow and pedantic.
@@AguyR1401 Your mom
@@Metroyeti17 Perhaps...
@@AguyR1401Captain America: I understood that reference!"
Legolas' tip tap running is amazing
He looks like he's wearing footy pajamas 😂
Gimli: "No one tosses a Dwarf! Because Dwarves are 6'2"!"
They should cast Hugh Jackman then.
not only did keep this take in, but the fact that they animated it is even better
The actor: damn, at least they'll remove this from the final cut.
The animator: haha lol
Gimli in this version is the same height as the Elves and I'm tired of pretending he's not.
Love how they didn’t scrap out this blooper and added sound effects too
I feel it symbolises how tired they must be, and unwilling to stop and rest
Still prefer this over Rings of Power lmao
Multiple people looked at this and thought "Yeah, let's put this in"
I rediscovered this movie and watched it again for the first time in 17 years, I have fond memories of this movie from when my best friend showed it to me in 8th grade after we watched the Peter Jackson movies. I've always wondered this, too, why the hell did they animate this part into the movie? LOL
Because Ralph Bakshi insisted on keeping the actors' first takes.
Gimli - “Get up Aragorn, your embarrassing us.”
Viggo actually broke his foot when he kicked that helmet in Two Towers with the same foot this animation tripped on
I remember watching this scene as a kid & bursting into laughter out of confusion of what I just watched.
Aragorn is way ahead if its time in this era... So he tripped...
My boi aragorn looks like he is gonna start killing orcs with a cattle gun at any moment.
I am really impressed with how smooth and fluid the animation is
It’s rotoscoped, meaning they filmed it with live actors, then painstakingly traced over the footage in animation frame by frame. It creates that realistic and fluid movement. It also means the physical actor for Aragorn really tripped on set while filming and they still animated it.
@@nthdgree5078 thank you
I love how he's falling in slow motion and in the next shot, he's up and runs like nothing happened haha
That's what makes a winner.
I always liked how Gimli is just a normal sized bald man with an axe and beard
haha same. hes so tall! not even stout xD
if you Google, there are clips and photos of the actual live action actors doing these scenes. The actor portraying Aragorn supposedly fell during this scene
but they left it in anyway due to time constraints
"but they left it in anyway due to time constraints"
That can't be it. It would have saved time to exclude it.
Lmao, how hard would it be to get another take of them running for ten seconds, even with time restraints?
They left it in because Ralph Bakshi ALWAYS uses the first take.
You see even then LOTR was inclusive...Aragorn looked like Chief Standing Bear, Boromir looked like stereotipical Viking ect...btw the way he tripped over his sword is almost poetic
Boromir looks like he came from some 11th century village.... one of the Village People, you might say
So glad you posted this video. I was always like WTF why did that dude fall down!!!
He tripped over the sword in the scabbard. That's why he fell.
@@notinspectorgadget I think he means, yeah.. BUT WHYYYYYYYYY
@@Fraxton because the sword wasn't fastened properly.
Breaking anything within your left shoe.
The curse of portraying Aragorn...

He needs no pants

0:13 I always wondered if Aragorn was wearing underthing under that shirt.
Thank god he's got some kind of loincloth.
His foot got tangled up in the sword scabbard. Oops. Hey, it happens. That's why infantry swords are relatively short as compared to cavalry swords and they're worn higher on the belt. But there's no way Aragorn would be wearing a sword so that he could trip on it. And there's no way this scene should have been left in the movie.
"Oh shit, looks like the actor tripped there. Maybe we should get another take-"
"Leave it in."
"You sure? It's gonna look silly, especially since it's in slow motion and Aragorn's the only one who does it-"
*"LEAVE IT IN."*
“Should we edit that out?” “Nahh it’s good. We send it.”
The orks and dark riders in this adaption is so much more scary than the 3 movies in 2000s. It is s great adaption for the time.
Gollum scared the crap out of me in this.
I agree. The battle of helms deep had some really great effects.
Gotta dodge that dangerous slightly uneven ground!!
Even without the tripping this scene is hilarious
The fact that its just a clip that's few seconds long and could've easily been re-shot... but they just decided to keep it in.
Makes me wonder if they did re-shoot it, but Bakshi decided to be a huge troll and gave this one to the animators.
I like how that could've easily been cut out
I like how Aragorn's pants not even present in this cartoon, very consistent with source material
That last frame with Legolas is mighty good
"Even Kings can fall" - Ralph Bakshi justifying this scene
Dunmo why so much hate, the animation is actually very well done and detailed, like he literally flex his right foot outwards due to the pressure of his bodyweight, is a lot better animation than 99% of what we have now days 😂
they filmed real people and traced over it
I still can't believe UA decided to pull the plug on developing the sequel, and not call it Part 1.
I like to imagine the animator seeing it one drawing at a time, thinking "okay ... okay, he's dipping pretty low ... wow, he's almost touching the ground now! ... ... ... oh... .... ...."
i think most people do not know that this was filmed in live action and then animated over the top. no joke this is how they did it. this is why the hordes of orcs look realistic.
i think i need to expand here. because it is unusual. they took the film footage. then drew the animation right onto the film itself. there were no computer layering programmes back then. each frame of this movie was animated by hand onto the master copy.
The rotoscoping in this movie is so bizarre. How can it be so smooth and chunky at the same time?
There's so much effort being put in to animating the specific ways their bodies movie and shift weight and then just... the fricking perspective and weird unmoving world behind them just adds to how surreal it is. Plus it's hilarious.
Actors that play Aragorn must break their foot. It’s part of their contracts
It's like he's getting chased and is trying to juke them.
Why in the world would they keep this in...? It's rotoscoped. Not only did they have to film this (and decide not to refilm it, which couldn't have been THAT expensive) but they then had to animate over it! No one saw this and thought "Maybe we shouldn't put this in the movie...?" at any point during this extensive process?
for the funny
Playing Aragorn is a curse that is sure to land you a foot injury.
just run straight. why are they juking back n forth like a running back?
I think they are trying to avoid Sauron's gaze.
they are under machine gun fire. Saruman industrialized
The exact reason I love this movie's rotoscope is the people stumbling around and doing the occasional unexpected improv. This is both at once. They just ignore it and continue, they've been running like this for 3 days.
I can't believe the actor who was the rotoscope reference for Aragorn broke his foot in this scene
Aragorn at Two Towers wanted to redeem himself he even break his toes to look badass.😅
Aragorn: “Uh… shouldn’t we do another take?”
Bakshi: “Nope! It’s good. Just roll with it.”
No wonder Chigurh from No Country For Old Men was such a dangerous character, he used to be one of the Dunadain. Bravo Bakshi
That's probably how the Sword That Was Broken got its name: Aragorn tripped over it one too many times
This comment needs far more likes. Here's one from me anyway.
"The shards of Narsil. The blade that tripped the future King of Gondor right on his face. Still funny."
- Boromir
He tripped on his own sword scabbard
Another fun fact- Viggo Mortenson later on broke his foot in the scene where they find the pile of burned corpses and kicks the helmet. And Orlando Bloom during the hunt of the Orcs was running with a busted rib.
Mad props to these actors working through that pain.
I like to think one of the animators was being passive-aggressive to his boss after being told to "just animate it like the actors do it"
And they still kept it in the original, no reshoot or editing. What a phenomonal actor.😂
"One does not simply.... OOF!"
details like this are why i love animated live actors.
This is actually some really neat animation ngl
That’s some really well-animated running.
They had real actors run and animated over them.
I love them running and swaying over a mostly straight path
(Down key prompt): *hits left key*
This entire scene is so fascinating and beautiful and funny at the same time. My favorite scene is 0:14- starts with an Aragorn up-skirt pov, followed by his foot clipping through the first rock he should ACTUALLY serpentine around, and then ends with about 3 frames of Gimli on screen before it cuts away. It just makes me chuckle
None of you have pursued an enemy beyond exhaustion. And it shows. Semper Fi, softies.
Ahh yes yes. I remember reading that in the books 🧐
I'm sorry but this is just VAST wilderness and the idea of these 3 guys just straight up sprinting nonstop through the gorgeous countryside just makes me crack up.
I love how Aragorn wis the heart of Arwen when he looks like a sixty year old burns victim who's had a career in bare knuckle fighting.
Playing Aragorn is a historically dangerous role
Best line delivery ever connected to this part of the animated movie:
“I CAN’T RUN ALLL THE WAYYY TO ISENGARRRRDDDD!
