Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 5.0
For Animation from 1977, this is top notch
This is obviously just an opinion, but I think that anyone who feels the urge to give this feature 1 star or less is just a biased Tolkien fan that will never be happy with any representation of his work. That said, Rankin and Bass pull off a great adaptation, with great vocal casting and solid realization of Middle Earth. I grew up watching this cartoon, and while it scared me a bit, it really captured my imagination, and got me interested in Tolkien's work. I can't wait for the movies 2001
