Lord of the Rings - cartoon version

i bought this DVD because my children found the other Lord of the Rings films a bit hard to follow, too long, and they lose interest fairly quickly.
i saw this cartoon version myself many years ago (before i had kids), and found it easier to follow than the books, which again are too long and complicated for young children.
my son is 9, he has seen the main films, but was forever asking questions so i remembered the cartoon one and purchased it specially for my children.
he now has a better understanding of the story and this has led him to have a greater understanding of the main films.
My 2 year old daughter (who obviously is too young to understand either cartoon or film) is already enjoying this cartoon, and hopefully as she gets older she will progress to the books and main films.
I would recommend this cartoon version as a starter for children before they progress to the main books and films. Even as young as 2, my daughter really enjoys it and sits nice and quiet to watch it - for this reason alone it is good - it gives me a bit of "mum-time"!
