    "Jackson explicitly cited Bakshi's animated 1978 LOTR in the Fellowship audio commentary as the film that introduced him to Tolkien and 'inspired me to read the book.' The Black Riders galloping out of Bree is one shot Jackson identified as a direct visual reference; the 'Proudfeet!' angle at Bilbo's birthday is named as an intentional Bakshi homage." source
