The Secret That Opened the Door to Moria | 1978 LOTR #lotr #shorts

In this rare scene from the 1978 Lord of the Rings animated film, Gandalf, Gimli, and Legolas stand before the ancient Doors of Moria. No key, no force, no spell opens it—until the word “Mellon” (Elvish for friend) is spoken.

What follows is a touching moment as Gimli, moved by the simplicity and beauty of the old Dwarven-Elven bonds, says “Those were better times.” A quiet reflection on what was lost, buried beneath the mountains and wars.

This animated version delivers a powerful sense of longing, wrapped in Ralph Bakshi's gritty, ethereal animation style. A moment every Tolkien fan should rediscover.
