Captures Tolkien's Magic Better than Jackson
the animated movie the hobbit is a fascintating adaptation of the well loved novel. who can disagree? those who haven't read the novel i guess. it captures tolkien's magic far better than peter jackson did with his glamourized hollywood he called "based on tolkien's work". the hobbit is an animated musical about bilbo baggin's journey to reclaim stolen dwarve riches from an evil dragon. on the way, he comes across THE ONE RING. it is a great film, laced with creepy middle-earthish songs that totally fit the story. it's a great movie that will easily get you to read the book, wanting to know what happens to bilbo and this "person in bilbo's family that is destined to an adventure" that gandalf talks about in the end. buy it!
