On November 17, 1978 stern, disapproving fathers everywhere were coming to terms with the fact that their sons were absolutely, positively DORKS. For Ralph Bakshi was bringing her hybrid animation adaptation of J.R.R.

So which one do you think we end up talking about more to celebrate this Thanksgiving? Find out with a listen on this great Life Day or just click for spoilers at the links below:
