Topcraft also did the more lackluster (though personal favorite) Flight of Dragons, as well as the Rankin/Bass productions of The Hobbit and Return of the King, which bookended the aborted rotoscoped Lord of the Rings by Ralph Bakshi.

Loved that movie as a kid and just played it for my gf who hadn't seen it (but grew up watching The Last Unicorn).

Definitely simplistic compared to some more modern material, but I think it still holds up as something for younger kids who might not get more complex storylines. It's a cool modern fairy tale even if a few of the characterizations might be a bit iffy to modern sensibilities.
