Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 3.0
Good for Tolkien readers...
I would recommend this video to Tolkien readers who have read The Hobbit, so that you can get the audio-visual feel of the book. But if you're just some kid looking for a good cartoon, this isn't a good choice. I found it interesting to read the book and then watch the tape, but this video doesn't even compare to the detail and feeling of reading the actual novel. And if you have to read this for school, don't even take a chance on the video without reading the book, you'll just flat out fail, because the video leaves out so many important events its ridiculous. The way that they conveyed the characters to be was not good either. I found that they stressed too many character traits, like the nose on the dwarves, what happened did they lie too much or something, because their noses were humongous and just the overall characters in the video were not what I imagined. Overall, I give this one a 3 for being average. If you would like to talk about any of Tolkien's works, feel free to e-mail me at MrtinezM@Yahoo.com - "Farewell, wherever you fare" As the eagles would say!
