Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 1.0
Please give us live-action!
I know there are legal issues with making a live-action version of The Hobbit, but in the name of all that is good about Tolkien, let it be done so I can stop showing this version to my students after we read the novel! The songs are grating, the animation is poor (especially the Battle of Five Armies), and leaving out Beorn is just plain unforgivable! I've actually had students say they would've preferred doing some other English work than being subjected to this movie.
