I must agree with some others who assert that some of the frame direction and scene selection is oddly similar to Peter Jackson's version of late. But mixing purely-drawn characters (hobbits) with those that are rotoscoped (orcs) just didn't look right here. Bakshi used this technique in his other works as well, particularly in Wizards, which is a better, if different, film than his version of LotR.
