Have you ever seen the animated version of RETURN OF THE KING? where BILBO BAGGINS turns 129 and will soar the lord of the eagles

Yes, by the Rankin/Bass, same team that animated The Hobbit and also brought you Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, but not the ones who did the hybrid animated film of the combined 1st 2 books. The film you are referring to is here:

Both LOTR animated attempts were critical failures, though the 1977 Hobbit movie still has its charm. A reviewer slams the 1978 LOTR at http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/bakshi/bakshi.htm

In RETURN OF THE KING it was AOUWIN who slew the leader of the nazgul
