Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 4.0
Just as I remembered!
I have seen this movie more times than I can recall, and still enjoy it every single time! The quality on this DVD is very good, and although you can see that it is obviously copied from the original tapes they did an excellent job of cleaning it up.Seeing this movie after having seen the new LOTR trillogy really helps put the whole thing together - especially for those who have never read the books. Knowing Bilbo's part in the whole story really helps to "fill in the blanks."Also, this movie is A LOT less violent than the rest of the LOTR films and so is much more child-friendly.Overall, I highly recommend it!
