The Hobbit (1966)

Strange Take of The Hobbit


This is the first time The Hobbit was ever on film. It is one of the most bizarre animations I have seen.  There is something novel of this one - it's awful, terrible film short yet something charming about it. It is attention grabbing!

You'll find Bilbo is in-love with a princess - marries her in the end. The dwarves are practically non-existent. Very little air time for Gandalf.

As one person said: "It looks as if the film makers was eating some of Radagast's mushrooms."  - and it really does!

5/10
