Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 4.0
This wasn't such a bad film
Sure, the songs were strange and everything and it skipped a couple good points of the original storyline of the book (and made the elves look...well.....), but this was a pretty OK adaption of the book. For it's time, the animation was pretty good, but strange at times. For children, it's a good way to start them before they read the actual novel. I didn't like the way the goblins looked though. My vision of them was much different. For anyone who has already read the book, then this is a good look-back at the major events of the story. For Tolkien fans or if you're simply looking for a movie to see, this is pretty good.
