Erm, actually, you're talking the animated one that was launched that year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lor...gs_(1978_film)

I've never seen the movie, but it was notable for its use of rotoscoping, which made some impressive visuals (yes, even bette than those freaky animes). It got a mixed reaction from the critics though. However, the Online Film Critics Society rated it as the 90th greatest animated film of all time.

See, even the Omega Man can be triumphed by only a Special member.

Well for me, it was Silence of the Lambs. WOOOOO!

I was frickin' raised on the animated movie of the Hobbit. FANTASTIC!
