My opinion on the movie
As soon as I had watched the LOTR trilogy (through the box set), I've always wanted to see a movie about its prequel really badly. Because Peter Jackson has not made "The Hobbit" yet, I had to buy this 1970's animated version instead. On most parts, it is very good except for the singing and the songs which I did not like much. I hope when Peter Jackson makes his version (if he does at all!) that the songs and singing dissappear and we get a proper movie version. I have read some of the other reviews of this movie. Some complain of a poor DVD transfer and badly transfered soundtrack and music. However my copy had no such problems at all, even though I had to buy a multi-zone (world-wide) DVD player just to play the movie as I live in Australia! I will use my newly aquired multi-zone DVD player to buy many more DVD's from amazon.com, but "The Hobbit" will be the only animated LOTR movie I will buy. I will agree with most people as the LOTR movies done by Peter Jackson is far better than the animated ones!
