"I come for your aid, Saruman the White." Saruman: wears red
-
Saruman lives in a dark tower in the middle of hellish landscape. Absolutely nothing suspicious at all.
-
I love how Saruman's epic introduction is him standing with his back turned and looking like a confused mall Santa.
-
Things to be learned from this scene: —Gandalf is color blind —Isengard is inside a strobe light —Saruman knows the Ring is in the Shire —Saruman knows where the Ring is and that Gandalf knows —Saruman wants Gandalf to tell him where the Ring is

"You'll never catch me, Gandalf! Not when I shift into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!" limps away faster
-
"I seek the council of Saruman in these dark times! Have you seen him, Santa?"
-
He trapped Gandalf into a disco ball, 70s magic indeed.
-
I love how he doesn't trap him in anything grand he just trapped him on the stairs and waddled away cackling.
-
I love the intern just casually bringing the staff, while both wizards just wait.
-
“How should we animate their hands while they’re talking?” “Yes.”
-
Gandalf standing in place and screaming "SARUMAN!" at the top of his lungs while Saruman slowly hobbles away laughing like a senile old man is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
-
"don't bother me Gandalf , I have presents to deliver"
-
0:48 "You" - Points at himself. "And I" - Points to the sky.
-
2:18 “Hehehe.” “Saruman!” “Hehehe.” “SARUMAN!!!”
-
1:33 Saruman straight up flashes Gandalf
-
Tolkien: "His cloak was of many colours." The animator: "Got it. His cloak is red." Gandalf: "Got it. His cloak is white."

Close your eyes, and imagine this being a conversation between two old guys at an insane asylum
-
I love animated movies from the 70s because everyone walks like they're half drunk and trying desperately not to fall over.
-
I love how the rotoscoped actors couldn't resist doing the old "milking the invisible cow" routine, and I love even more that someone took the time to animate those individual hand gestures.

Tolkien and Ralph Bakshi. Two entities with powers and goals beyond the comprehension of us mortals.
