Cute, light-hearted look back to pre-Jackson
Monday, February 07, 2005 / 4 of 5 / Cute, light-hearted look back to pre-JacksonLike many, this was my introduction to Tolkien back when it aired on TV in the late 70's. In light of Jackson's epic Lord of the Rings Trilogy, this cartoon certainly shows its age and target demographic. Light and breezy throughout with songs and music aplenty, it rarely elevates beyond the G type rating. The animation was always attractive and to this day its version of Gollum is still my favorite, the mutant Kermit the Frog.
