Its interesting
I really think that it was great that they made an attempt at bringing the classic tale to the screen. I just got my D.V.D. of it today and watched it. One thing I missed - one thing that is in the book, but not in the movie - was that Beorn wasn't in it, neither was the Arkenstone. Most of the music is good enough, but while I liked the trolls and spiders, I did NOT like the goblins nor the elves (with the exception of Elrond and his huge 'crown'). Sméagol-Gollum's voice was also done well enough.It is quite short - 78 minutes - but I Do like it, and I think Rankin & Bass did their job quite well.I would recommend Ralph Bakshi's L.O.T.R., as well, though.
