Bobby B This is a good film. It does more justice to the novel than PJs trilogy. It is enjoyable and fun. I like it. I just think it could of have been 30 mins longer. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Lennon B A wildly fun introduction to anyone who is getting into "Lord Of The Rings". The cartoon covers all key elements of the original book and is engaging enough to keep both children and adults entertained. Has a certain charm that today that can not be replicated. Great original songs too. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review matthias s Gave *The Hobbit* (1977) a shot, and it’s definitely a mixed bag. As a Tolkien fan, diving into this old-school animated version felt like a nostalgic treat. The hand-drawn animation is stunning, and the music adds a whimsical, epic vibe that elevates the whole experience. The voice acting is also spot-on, bringing the characters to life in a charming way. The short runtime holds it back, though. They hit the major highlights of the book but left out so much depth that it feels incomplete at times. Gollum’s design is a big miss, which is disappointing given how iconic the character is. It’s clear Peter Jackson drew inspiration from this adaptation, which adds a fun layer for fans of the live-action films. With an extra 30 minutes and more key plot points, this could have been a 4-star movie. Despite its flaws, it’s still a worthwhile watch for Tolkien fans. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Audience Member First time seeing this . Ahhh that 70s animation. I really liked Gandalf animation and the Goblin Town song that Peter Jackson used for the live action . 77 min and to combine all the plot with Samug and the battle of the five armies. Gollum animation looks so odd like a salamander . Wasn't a fan of the songs . But this is what LOTR fans had from the books until the movies. 5/10 it was borderline ok. Thorin death scene was so weird . I could go on talking about this for a hour about what they did and didn't use. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Dustin M When I was 6 years old I would watch this nightly... then I read the book and was frankly ticked off by how much was left out. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Teddy B Meandering in almost every aspect of production. It is a serviceable adaptation and its voicework is effectively executed but its animation, character designs, droning music that repeats the same song so often that I feel my brain going numb, and sound design and mixing are horrendous and really drag the experience down.
