Product: The Hobbit [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 5.0
Great intro to LOTR
I had this cartoon as a child and I always loved it. I bought the DVD for my kids and they also love it. I noticed some of the sound effects missing or different, and naturally, Rankin-Bass's take on Tolkien's world is not Peter Jackson's. But even Peter Jackson would admit that Peter Jackson's take isn't Tolkien's either. All in all, I think it is a good introduction to Middlearth for the younger generation who may be just developing a love of "dwarves, goblins, wizards, dragons and hobbits..."
