Fun for the Family
A fun adaption for all of the family. I saw this film when it was first broadcast and it hooked me into the work of Tolkien, so that's a good thing. I love the scene with Bilbo and Gollum and I think this Gollum with his appearance and voice charaterization is the definitive Gollum. I wish Rankin Bass would have done all 4 books instead of just 1 and 4. Sure they are simplified, but they are far better than the aborted version of Lord of the Rings done by Bakshi.
