“	Gandalf: I have come for your aid Saruman the White in troubled times. The Nine are abroad darkness, the Black Riders! Saruman: Is that all the news you have for me then? Gandalf: Is that not enough? Sauron is moving at last! Saruman: We can deal with Sauron ourselves, Gandalf. You and I, one way or another. Gandalf: What talk is this? What are you saying, Saruman? Saruman: It is time for us to choose. A new age is upon us. A new power is rising. Nothing that Men or Elves or Wizards can do will avail against it. Its enemies are utterly doomed! But its friends... Gandalf: You are saying that we should join with Mordor? With him? Saruman: Does that displease you? Where is the Ring, Gandalf? Why do the Black Riders search for it in the Shire? Have you hidden it there? Would you rather see the Dark Lord have it...or Saruman of Many Colours?! Gandalf: Neither of you will have it. Saruman: There is a third choice. It is to remain here... until you tell me where the Ring may be found. Gandalf: Saruman, if you do this... if you delay me here, Sauron will surely get it then. Saruman: Then he will know his good servants [chuckles]... and his enemies. [chuckles] Gandalf: Saruman! Saruman! Saruman!	„
	~ Saruman's introduction.

Gandalf is the central protagonist of Ralph Bakshi's 1978 film The Lord of the Rings.

He was voiced by the late William Squire.

What Makes Him Pure Good?[]

He made good friends with Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. Gandalf most likely convinced Bilbo to go on his quest with the Dwarves to reacquire Erebor like he did in the books.
When Bilbo's 111th birthday comes. Gandalf arrives and wishes Bilbo a happy birthday. Bilbo disappears mysteriously after his speech and Gandalf meets him in his house where Gandalf convinces Bilbo to give the ring to Frodo. Bilbo does so and leaves to Rivendell.
After the party, Gandalf leaves and does research on the ring for 17 years. After those short 17 years, Gandalf reunites with Frodo and shows him that the ring Frodo inherited is indeed the One Ring after he tosses it into the fire. Gandalf tells the story of the rings to Frodo and tells him to leave the Shire to avoid getting caught with the ring as Sauron has many spies.
He finds Samwise Gamgee stalking them while they're outside talking of what to do and has Sam go with Frodo before leaving to consult with Saruman.
Gandalf meets with Saruman to ask for his council on what to do with the One Ring, Saruman tries to convince Gandalf to ally with Sauron and take the One Ring from whoever has it. Gandalf refuses and Saruman traps him atop Isengard. Gandalf eventually escapes with the help of an eagle.
Meeting Frodo at Rivendell, they form and alliance with Elrond, Gimli, Legolas, Merry, Pippin, Sam and Boromir, forming the Fellowship of the Ring. They try to walk on the Misty Mountains but find the heavy snow to not be crossable and go to the Mines of Moria
In the mines, the Fellowship get attacked by Orcs and eventually, the Balrog of Moria. Gandalf and the Balrog fight, leading to both of them falling into a pit and the Fellowship going without him. Unbeknownst to them however, Gandalf fought with it and fought with it up to above the mists of the world. Gandalf eventually threw down the Balrog and the Mountain they were on was destroyed, Gandalf wandered on many roads and eventually died. However, he was revived to finish his mission as Gandalf the White.
Gandalf the White meets Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas when they chase an Uruk-Hai pack who captured Merry and Pippin. However, Gandalf reveals Saruman's Orcs will attack Edoras in two days, leading them to rush to Edoras while convincing Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas that Pippin and Merry are in no danger.
Gandalf, Gimli and Legolas arrive in Edoras where Gandalf reveals to Theoden that Grima Wormtongue is in league with Saruman and convinces Theoden to bring the people of Edoras to Helm's Deep. Eventually, Gandalf splits with the people going to Helm's deep to look for Eomer and his men.
At the Battle of Helm's Deep, Saruman throws magic balls to blow up a wall and allow the Uruk-Hai to go into the fortress and slaughter everyone there. As the Uruk-Hai march in, the people of Theoden fallback into the caves there. Theoden, Aragorn and a few other soldiers ride out to attack some of the Uruk-Hai. As the fight ensues, Gandalf and the Riders of Rohan come and kill the Uruk-Hai, saving the people of Edoras. Gandalf and the Riders of Rohan ride on as the film ends on a cliffhanger.
