Review of The Hobbit (1977) by Luke B — 09 Sep 2009

It's a pretty decent 70's made-for-TV animation. With only 77 minutes it ha enough entertainment value, but obviously cuts out a LOT of stuff from the book. One scene is completely narrated over to save time.

The dwarfs are just background as opposed to characters, they walk about but don't say much. The thing I loved most was the character designs. I really liked the goblins and Gollum's amphibian look was interesting.

It's a good try and I was pleased with the parts they did, rather than being distracted by the bits they cut.
