Plot: Hobbits are simple folk. Small people with hairy feet, they are not cut out for adventure and prefer to laze about and eat. A particular hobbit, Bilbo Baggins (Orson Bean), is taken by surprise one mo...( read more read more... )rning when the mighty wizard Gandalf (John Huston) knocks at his door. Soon Bilbo finds himself inducted into a party of dwarves bent on reclaiming their mountain from the deadly fire-breathing dragon, Smaug. Insisting that the timid Bilbo is a master thief, Gandalf insures the danger-loving dwarves that the quest will include many mishaps and perilous encounters with goblins, trolls, and dwarf-eating spiders. Among other things that the reluctant Bilbo discovers on this amazing journey is an enchanted ring that turns its wearer invisible, and soon the hobbit transforms from a master bumbler into a master burglar.

Based on the beloved novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, THE HOBBIT is an animated classic that was brought to the TV screen in the late 1970s by Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass. Rerun by networks for years, this tale of Middle-earth consistently awes viewers and has inspired a whole new generation of Tolkien fans. The story continues in Ralph Bakshi's THE LORD OF THE RINGS and concludes in THE RETURN OF THE KING.

    i think the music in this must have been intentionally hilarious, otherwise...well, best not to think of such things. aside from that, typical rankin-bass mutant porn.

    I never really understood why this film took so much heat. It may be because people are just now seeing it for the first time and trying to compare it to Peter Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. But, I find it to be a really nice piece of film, the music is really one thing that won me over on it, but there is also the fact that the story follows J.R.R. Tolkien's novel wonderfully, but not only that but it tells the story in a more artistic way, which adds to the film immensely.
    If you are looking for something similar to Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy you may not find this for you. Although, you should like both of them, both story's are told in an artistic sort of way. But other than that, you may not find anything similar, and you shouldn't really be looking for similarities between the two. They are two totally different things. They are both great, but totally different.

    The cover of this looks like Bilbo is about to get magically sodomized by his angry sex master wizard. I know that isn't so.....but still.

    I remember loving this film to death as a kid. I'm pretty sure it's 'terribly inaccurate' or whatever, but it's still a highly entertaining family film, and takes me back to my childhood bliss. the animation is also really cool.
