Well, almost there's nothing appealing if you're not a LOTR fan. But it it is a very faithful work with its lyrical expression style. Oh, and there is this: this movie shows us a story that is told in 9 hours can be told in 70 minutes.

This animated version of The Hobbit may be faithful to the books, but it lacks the cinematic flair to do the classic story justice. The film adapts the many, many songs at the expense of character development and context to the plot. The animation is passable, but not pretty. My biggest complaint was the voice acting which had an undesirable "accented" feel. The film tells a story, but delivers no immersion into Middle-Earth that Jackson's lengthy version does.

It's an odd combination of faithful to the source material yet cheaply and incompetently made. It is bad, undeniably bad, but it's ineptitude kind of won me over by the end.

There has to be a middle ground between “8-hour CGI nightmare that is mostly made up action movie bullshit” and “70-minute fast-forward through the book that looks like it was animated with pocket change” that we can aim for with a Hobbit movie.

Enjoyable to a fault. The Hobbit is perfectly suited for an animated adaptation. Though it suffers from occasional visual issues and a lack of ambition. It's still cute and has some catchy tunes. Though you won't remember them ten minutes later.

Lovely animation done by Top craft, who were apparently precursors to Ghibli.

As hard as it is to believe, this version is even worse than Peter Jackson's Hobbit. It strays so much from the original, it hurts. I wish someone would do Tolkien's tale justice. And this? My seven year old daughter thought this was boring. Spare yourself some grief and skip this rubbish.

I will gladly take this any day over Peter Jackson's new eight-and-a-half hour version. It captures the childlike innocence and simplicity of the book very nicely.

Em honra de Orson Bean (1928 - 2020) que foi o nosso primeiro Bilbo Baggins (ou Bolseiro). Ainda tá pra nascer realmente uma boa adaptação d'O Hobbit, mas o Peter Jackson poderia ter umas aulas de concisão com esse aqui. John Huston é Gandalf e Otto Preminger é Thranduil. O suficiente! Mas o Góllum parece um sapo superdesenvolvido e o Smaug do Peter Jackson é infinitamente superior. WEBRip ETRG.

It was a pretty faithful adaptation of the book, with a few odd choices in direction. I respect the effort they took to adapt so many of the songs, but there are moments when Glen Yarbrough's singing is a little jarring. And the design of some of the creatures, especially Gollum, is nothing if not creative. And I have to say this movie's goblin king is a lot more intimidating than the ballsack-bearded one from Peter Jackson's movie.

This was one of my favorites as a child, and quite faithful to the book insofar as a child's cartoon could be.

More of a bus tour of Middle Earth than a real expedition; however they do hit on most every point of interest. None of the characters are very sympathetic either with the 13 dwarfs looking so old and decrepit that Disney's 7 dwarfs could kick their asses. Still it does the jobs for kids and many of the suspenseful scenes scared the hell out of me as a child. Recommended as a baby sitter for your next of kin; after you've already read to them the book of course.
