An elf with short hair? An outrage. Never been done before. It's a — hold on a minute. Is that Legolas from the 1978 Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings?

Frank Frazetta’s poster for the animated film Fire and Ice (1983).  The film was a collaboration between Frazetta and animator/director Ralph Bakshi, using characters both men had created.  The script was provided by comic book veterans Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas.

Investors provided funding quickly for Fire and Ice  because Bakshi’s previous fantasy film, Wizards (1977), had done well both in the box office and on home video.  They also hoped to cash-in on the wave of barbarian fantasy films started by Conan the Barbarian (1982).

Unfortunately, Fire and Ice did not live up to its promise.  Critics were less than kind, and it bombed at the box office, not even making back its meager budget of $1.2 million.

There was talk years ago of director Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Spy Kids, Sin City) remaking this film in live-action, and Sony Pictures even secured the rights for him to do so.  To date, however, that project appears to be lost in limbo.
