Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 5.0
A good, family adaptation of a classic story
The film is an excellent adaptation of Tolkien's excellent work. Aparently the production staff thought a lot over before they cut out parts from the book (very few parts were left out). Although Glenn Yarbrough's music does have a hippie-like feel, the matching of Tolkien's poetry to music is stupendous. I find this movie to be a classic and suggest it highly to any family who wants a wholesome, yet not completely sugar-coated, movie. For you hard-core Tolkien fans out there: Give it a look at; it will give you another example of how dramatists have portrayed Tolkien's Middle-Earth.
