Review of The Hobbit (1977) by I'm El Capitano! A — 14 Feb 2009

This movie was what I grew up watching on my old vhs player. While yes, it does rush over the specifics of the novel, it was designed and written for television, not for the silver screen. That being said, I do believe that this film did a superb job of adapting Tolkien's work for a younger audience and, on a personal note, led me to pick up the actual novel in hopes of better understanding the vast world of Middle Earth.
