Aragorn trips and falls in Lord of the Rings (1978)

0:26 for the fall of The Rightful King of Gondor. 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."

I love how serious the whole scene is, and then dude trips.

They were tracking the orcs, and the orc leader trip and fell, so Aragorn did as well to avoid losing the tracks!

I love how they carefully navigate a completely flat and empty path.

Everyone in this movie is hilarious. Especially Gandalf. It is difficult to describe the levels of insanity induced by this film.

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

Viggo Mortensen broke his foot in homage to the actor here. The dedication is breathtaking.

There are no words to describe the love I feel for this movie, if only for all the wrong reasons

Aragorn's bouts with vertigo have been well documented throughout the books.

[ricenbeenz...]

That's what he get for trying to run all fast ahead of everybody else

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"

[wolphintv]

Man, this adaptation of the story is... special.

The way they're running combined with the slow motion fall has me crying 😂

[evilemperorzurg]

The rotoscoping in this movie is so bizarre. How can it be so smooth and chunky at the same time?

[buckdouglas]

not only did keep this take in, but the fact that they animated it is even better

"Two junkies running away from an angry bald lumberjack"

[Eggs_hatching]

Legolas' tip tap running is amazing

[SunsetBats]

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.

[JaggusBaro]

Love how they didn’t scrap out this blooper and added sound effects too

[moviewolverine]

Gimli in this version is the same height as the Elves and I'm tired of pretending he's not.
