Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 3.0
good movie
this movie is a must see movie for tolkien fans and kids alike. i tought it was good. well, its not a major motion picture, and there are a lot of changes from the book. but i tought it was great. there are two scenes that made me cry, also. the songs are also very sticky. the only thinga that i dont like about this item are 1.) the animation is very poor. this film was animated in Japan. it should have been animated in usa. although the animation for the goblins, i loved it. 2.) some of the action scenes and sounds are very Japanese like. i mean, i dont think tolkien intended a Japanese cartoon while he was writing the hobbit, right? 3.) the special features for this movie are the worst ive seen in my life. they could have put some publicity stuff that came out around the time this movie was released, as well as an interview to rankin-bass about this movie that might have come out for the time. 4.) packaging. 5.) i dont know if if this movie come out in mexico and was dubbed in spanish(i am mexican), but if it would have, i would have wanted to see this movie in spanish. cartoons are great when they are dubbed in spanish(well as long as they are not dubbed in spain). 6.) if you ask me, rankin-bass is a really immaature company to release stories so important as these. so obverall, watch this movie. its certainly better than Ralph Bakshis lord of the rings version!
