1981 Tolkien Calendar - Tolkien Enterprises - Canada

1981. Tolkien Enterprises-Canada. The 1981 J. R. R. Tolkien Calendar: The Silver Anniversary Edition. This was made to honor the 25th anniverary of the publication of the Lord of the Rings. Noted as an idea by Donald G. Swinburne. ISBN: 0-96960890-15. 13 x 11.25. Middle-earth dates. This calendar features paintings by Paul Rivoche that are derived from the animation artwork of the Bakshi film version of The Lord of the Rings. The back cover indicates they were "masterfully rendered illustrations" from the movie but they are very poor quality illustrations. If the artist had simply traced over the animation cels, he would have done a better job. I don't understand why the original animation cels have not appeared in calendars. Yet, they have appeared in a other print publications, such as The Lord of the Rings Fotonovel, zigsaw puzzles, and even CDROM games. I can only speculate that different people own rights to different parts of the movie and other images that appeared with the film.

			THE SWORD OF EOWYN A very high quality, beautiful sword. This would make a great decorative gift for the shield maiden in your life, or someone who just loves equestrian design.



			LORD OF THE RINGS JEWELRY Now that the movies have largely run their merchandising course, this may be the best time to purchase high quality jewelry at discounted prices. Use these as gifts for years to come.



			LORD OF THE RINGS GAMES! It appears that any game that could possibly have a Lord of the Rings theme has been produced. These include Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Backgammon and Dominoes.



			LORD OF THE RINGS FIGURES Figures from the movies include a large action figure series. There are separate figure sets and color schemes for each movie. The highest quality figures were made by Sideshow WETA. Although these are expensive, they sell out quickly and will likely keep their values.
