Seven ponies in one big tree, their flanks were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, unfunny little things, they had no brains! O what shall we do with the unfunny little things?

Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em! till manes blaze, and eyes glaze; hair smells and skins crack fat melts, and bones in cinders lie beneath the sky! So the ponies shall DIEEEEEE!
@sixpointneuf I know it's an old comment but I still wanted to comment. Anyway I doubt this would be in the Peter Jackson film (even though the song actually was in the book). And if do add it, people would probably just complain about it.
@beamerball666 They're roughly the same size jackson's orcs were slightly bigger than hobbits, these orcs are slightly bigger than hobbits, but these orcs have large mouths.
As much as I'm fond of the fact they kept the song lyrics faithful to the original source, I'm concerned how kids would have taken those lyrics. This was aimed for general audiences back in 1977.
they SLAUGHTERED this by giving it weird, funky, genre-specific music. the music in the book was full of feeling--chanting, keeping in step with some long-lived oral tradition in Middle Earth.
Is it just me, or did they get the dimensions reversed a little with the dwarves and orcs/goblins? Book and movies, Dwarves are 5 foot tall gorillas with battle axes and orcs are much skinnier and relied on huge numbers to fight.
@mojothemigo Dwarves are 5 foot tall gorillas? are you listening to yourself? movies books and EVERYWHERE Dwarves are short. now the goblins you might be right on....
@NekoVira Yes, they are short stocky guys with muscle underneath their round stomachs. 5 foot tall is very short for a human and about right for a dwarf, my description was not far from what the books described them. Short but powerful and strong. I read the books, and I remember when the Dwarves were gathering in The Hobbit. Frodo saw the elite soldiers befor the war at the end and despite being short, they were incredibly fierce and intimidating with huge axes.
@NekoVira 3.5, 4 foot, 5 foot, they weren't 2.5 feet, 100 pounds like they were in this cartoon. The animator should have traded the body types of the orcs. Forget whatever the specific height, the Dwarfs in this animation are way too puny. I might be wrong on the specific heights of given groups, but Dwarfs were much more imposing despite their size. They did it 1000 times better in the live action movies.
The goblins, orcs, whatever they are, pretty much gave me nightmares when I was little, gave me the closest thing to an almost gory death (King Goblin was going to BITE A DUDES HEAD OFF!). But they still gave me songs I love.
@Jademageify the orcs didn't give me nightmares as a child... Freddy Krueger didn't either....odd enough though, the only movie to ever give a nightmare was the blob. yeah I know i wasn't scared of a man with with sharp objects on his fingers who murdered people in their dreams, but a slime monster that absorbs you did... strange I know -_-
I used to sing a variation of this song to my daughter when she was a baby. It was more baby friendly, and it was about her being a "tiny little thing." LOL
is it just me, or does this song make anyone else hungry? no but seriously, this is what good animation was, what we have now is depressing in comparison. thumbs up if you agree.
The animation of this movie is beautiful. It's sad that over 30 years later, the quality of animation has departed from things like this... I say departed instead of 'lessened' because in many ways current animation is superior, but never really gets the same feel animation of this era had. The songs however, are the best part. I'v heard variations of the music from the books in plays, audio books, and whatnot... But this movies version is the only one I think of when reading the books.
I once ran a Wheel of Time RPG campaign. During the course of it the party was tracking some trollocs, think orcs and you are close enough, and suggested hiding up in a grove of trees. My humming this and evil cackle must have given it away cause they decided not to do that.
I'm a DM for a DND group my self, I had my party go up against a clan of Goblins, and a Goblin bard played this, nearly had my entire group on the floor crying with laughter.
Fifteen birds in five firtrees, their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, funny little birds, they had no wings! O what shall we do with the funny little things? O what shall we do with the funny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot; fry them, boil them, eat them hot? Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em! till beards blaze, and eyes glaze; hair smells and skins crack fat melts, and bones black in cinders lie beneath the sky! So the dwarves shall...die.
Gandalf: SILLY?!?! THIS FROM A MAN WHO USES A RING OF INVISIBILITY TO SAVE A BUNCH OF MIDGETS, NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU GOT IT FROM A CREEPY LEPER-THING THAT CALLS IT HIS PRECIOUS! And you say my pine-cone was silly.
@Kreklewetz That must've been like a 6th level spell at least. it created a blinding flash of light and the proceeded to zap them with blue lightning.
@nwojunkie The two terms are synonymous in Tolkien's works. The Hobbit was written long before he fully developed his legendarium, so a lot was changed about the book afterwards, and the use of the word "orc" more often is a good example. Tolkien later decided that the mysterious Necromancer who's only mentioned a few times throughout the book was actually Sauron, another good example.
Actually, The Silmarillion was written before the Hobbit...and details Sauron's corruption by the Dark Lord Melkor. Morgoth Bauglir(Black Enemy), to the Elves of Valinor. This is also where another Gothmog is noted to exist. The General of the Balrog's that served under Melkor's command. The Silmarillion was written and re-written by Tolkien, and various other writers as well, but it predates The Hobbit, and details the events prior to Lord of the Rings.
Nothing I said contradicts any of that. All I meant was that the use of the word "goblins" was long before Tolkien incorporated the Hobbit specifically into his legendarium.
By the way, there is no "other Gothmog." There's only one; the Lord of the Balrogs. Gothmog in the movies was created just for the movies. They simply got the name from the Balrog, just like for the warg-rider captain Sharku (taken from orcish for "old man"; the orcs of Isengard called Saruman Sharkey).
@lughlongarm76 Actually, Gothmog was the Lieutenant of Minas Morgul in the books, as well. He was the commander of the Host of Minas Morgul at Pelennor after the Witch-King's demise. His race, whether orc, Nazgul, or man, is not specified. His only action is to call out his reserve forces in response to the charge of the Rohirrim and continue the battle. He was, however, likely named after the earlier Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, who perished at the siege of Gondolin.
Does any one know why sooo many sound effects were removed for the DVD release? The snapping of the warg's jaws, the crack of gandalf's lightning, etc...the wood piling, the flames...they also removed the groovy '70s vintage sound effect when the spiders are stabbed (not in this vid, obviously)
Luckily, I managed to encode the VHS version I grew up with, and put THAT on DVD to preserve it. Go original sound FX!
I can't figure out what they are saying about their feathers in a firey breeze. What is that line? And thank you for this video, this is one of my favorite parts aside from riddles int he dark.
I really hope the football playing stone giants from the book make it into the live action version of the film. It is too bad they were left out of this version.
Tom Bombadil is a good cut. He's hardly a main part. Besides, when your magic power is a supernatural level of apathy it makes it almost pointless to be in anything.
It was not a good cut. Not only did Jackson skip Bombadil, he skipped EVERYTHING related to Bombadil. If Bombadil was pointless, Tolkien would not have put him in the book. Not showing the barrow wights, Old Man Willow or Bombadil takes away from the true diversity that makes Middle Earth interesting.
Now we get down to the difference between a good film and a good book, because they are not the same, and can't be the same. Tom Bombadil would have made the film longer and it's not even that interesting. It's also worth pointing out that EVERYONE at the council in Rivendell pretty much discounts Tom Bombadil as well. Why should we pay so much attention to someone who the main characters will put aside?
Just because the council discounted Tom Bombadil doesn't mean he should be cut from the story. You have to remember that this is all coming from Tolkien. He created Bombadil and the council. If he really thought Bombadil was pointless he would have taken him out of the book. Tolkein, wrote the council's decisions, they are not actually characters who make up their own minds.
Look, you clearly do not have the same interest in the lore that I do so there's no point in arguing about it.
Most people don't have interest in the lore. That's why putting minor things in movies intended for mass consumption would have been a bad move. He's interesting yeah but most people would not sit through another 20 minutes of content for his sake.
ya....Wargs dont sing. If you read the book, youll learn that the singing is done by the goblins. Wargs cant sing. They do speak, in growls....and howls....
the Wargs are a race of fictional wolf creatures in Tolkien's books. They are usually in league with the Orcs whom they permitted to ride on their backs into battle. It is probable that they are descended from Draugluin's werewolves, or of the wolf-hounds of the line of Carcharoth of the First Age. They are portrayed as somewhat intelligent, with a language of sorts, and are consciously in league with the Orcs, rather than wild animals the Orcs have tamed.
15 birds, in 5 fir trees, their feathers were fanned, in a fiery breeze, but funny little birds, they had no wings, oh what should we do, with the funny little things? roast 'em alive or stew 'em in a pot, Fry them, well them, eat 'dem hot, bake 'em toast 'em, rye and roast 'em till beards blaze, and eyes glaze, till hair swells and skin crack, flat melts and bones black, single (spide?) beneath the sky, ALL THE DWARVES SHALL DIE.

That's Hollywood stuff. Your classic skinchanger, therianthrope, werebeast, shape-shifter, etc., is capable of changing form at will. I don't know where that full moon nonsense came from, but you wonnt find it in any of the classic lore.
Why couldn't Gandolph just take more pinecones and turn them into balls of light that would freeze the enemy and make them disappear? And even after the fire started, why couldn't he just use his magic to get rid of the fire?

Most people don't have interest in the lore. That's why putting minor things in movies intended for mass consumption would have been a bad move. He's interesting yeah but most people would not sit through another 20 minutes of content for his sake.

i always get the impression that gandalf is basically saying "WFT, man!" to bilbo when he starts talking shit about beorn

You gotta wonder...did the goblins make that song up on the spot or did they have it prepared for this kinda situation?

They are a spontaneously musical race. It is a remnant of their elven heritage.

neither... i think after all they can sing apperantly... their just wargs i guess
mewsamantha 3 years ago
ya....Wargs dont sing. If you read the book, youll learn that the singing is done by the goblins. Wargs cant sing. They do speak, in growls....and howls....

the Wargs are a race of fictional wolf creatures in Tolkien's books. They are usually in league with the Orcs whom they permitted to ride on their backs into battle. It is probable that they are descended from Draugluin's werewolves, or of the wolf-hounds of the line of Carcharoth of the First Age. They are portrayed as somewhat intelligent, with a language of sorts, and are consciously in league with the Orcs, rather than wild animals the Orcs have tamed.

ALL THE DWARVES SHALL DIE

Read the hobbit. Specifically, it says,
Roast 'em alive or stew em in a pot,
Fry them, boil them, eat them hot.
Bake 'em, toast 'em,
Fry and roast 'em till beards blaze
And eyes glaze, till hair melts and skins crack
Fat melts and bones black
In cinders lie beneath the sky
So the dwarves shall die!

You do realize that a lot of that doesn't actually make sense, nor is it actually what is being sung if you listen carefully, right?

I remember rewinding and re-playing this part of my The Hobbit tape until it almost broke - now I can listen to it for ever!
Thank you so much NightTorch!

it always bothered me how awesome gandalf was in the hobbit, and in lotr, until he was white he was weaker than saruman and so on.
that should mean the sarumon was a extremely powerfull wizard, (which he is) but not as good as gandalf.

This adaptation of The Hobbit is pretty accurate. There are some things they still leave out, but all the songs are from the book.
theallseeingoracle 3 years ago 2
wonder y they left beorn out, he was preaty kewl ^^
thirion1850 3 years ago
Probably for the same reason that the live action movie will leave him out.. just too much to put in(though I pray they wont)

Guillermo Del Toro already said the Beorn werebear was in!
doobiesmoke15 3 years ago
I mean how could they NOT have Beorn right?
Neoskel 3 years ago 2
Not a werebear. Ugh, the right term is in the book, but can't find it right now. But he isn't a werebear.
draconicon2 3 years ago
Skinchanger would be the term.
effigytormented 3 years ago
Still sounds like were-creatures to me. I mean, people who change at will into animals?
Gunganfan 3 years ago
Well, Beorn don't care what ya call him. As long as you don't call him late for supper.
doobiesmoke15 3 years ago
Was that from the book? I think its an old saying my Great Grandad used to say that.

aren't were transformations triggered by a full moon, not the shape-shifter's will?
G0lfimbul 2 years ago
That's Hollywood stuff. Your classic skinchanger, therianthrope, werebeast, shape-shifter, etc., is capable of changing form at will. I don't know where that full moon nonsense came from, but you wonnt find it in any of the classic lore.
Gunganfan 2 years ago
Anything thats a "were" is changed by the full moon. The others are on the will of the being.
AdrianBloodstarrr 2 years ago
