Like Seeing An Old Friend, Changed Somewhat
We originally watched this animated version on television with our small children. I bought it for nostalgic reasons, so that we could all watch it together again and bring back good memories. It achieved that goal, but I was a little disappointed in a few things. For one, it seemed to me that there were missing scenes, but maybe I am wrong about that. Maybe I am confusing it with an LP audio version story of The Hobbit. Aside from this, there is one place where a brief, seconds-long scene and audio are repeated, and another spot where it appears to "skip" briefly. Overall, I was satisfied, but there were those minor disappointments.
