Before there was "The Lord of the Rings" & now the live action version, there was this version. I remember this growing up. It was a childhood favorite. I can't wait for the live action version in 2012. :)
stupid, amateur... the cliche overused "action music" doesnt fit well and drowns out anything else.... not creative, not clever.... weak attempt.... simply ridiculous... obviously this trekkie has no life.
Sorry, but not a great job. There was no narrative, and what little was said was drowned out by music- which I thought was the best part. Start off with a slow tempo, setting up the sotry, the quicken the pace with action shots leading to a crescendo.
sorry, not 2009, 2 movies are being made the first schedualed for 2010-2011 release with the second coming out in 2012. peter jackson and his wife fran welsh are producers and the director of hellboy is going to direct the two films after hellboy II. it is said that ian mckellen and andy serkis will be here for gandalf and gollum and that liv tyler, viggo and elijah wood will be short parts in the second film!!!
no it is true, they are making the hobbit, but peter jackson is not directing so i am a bit worried, i don't thin it is being made in new zealand and i think it comes out early 2009
actually it is the voice of John Huston who portrayed Noah in The Bible from the 1960's. He was also the voice of God in that movie and the lawgiver in the last of the Planet of the Apes movies. Son of oscar winner Walter Huston and father of Angelica Huston another oscar winner.
pfffff Thranduil parece un trasgo, a lo mejor lo caracterizan así porque es un poco malvado con los enanos y con Bilbo, pero aún así... un elfo es un elfo, y Bilbo está un poco regordete, ¿no? :P Y Smaug parece un perro con alas, tiene más cara de cánido que de reptil :s En fin, al menos parece entretenida
Not true. It was all a fake. The 'trailer' that is out is a fan made one. The parts of the dragon and the young Bilbo are shots from an old 80s movie called 'Dragon Slayer'.
It IS true! But not in 2008... Del Toro is going to direct it and there isn't a trailer yet. There will be 2 movies, 1 in 2010 and 1 in 2011... Peter Jackson will be producer in stead of director...
just to inform people who are still commenting on this post. A while ago a fake trailer was let loose on the net about the hobbit movie. It was a week or two after I posted this that info about them making the film was released.
The book puts the movie to shame, especially this movie. I don't think anyone can portray Tolkien's genius work on film, nor on anything else. Tolkien was a mastermind, no movie can compare to his books.
Jesus that film was bad! Smaug looked like a gay cat, the elves looked like anorexic goblins and the goblins all looked like obese cabbages. Really, WTF! Even when I was a kid I thought this was a bad movie!
Loved the classic animated movie for the Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Return of the King. Nice to see all the different inturpitations on how elves, goblins, and hobbits look like.
This movie rocked. When Rakin/Bass tried to do the Fellowship of the Rings, then they mashed the last 2 books together THAT was an insult to Tolkin and fans alike. As for details, it is a childrens movie. My father read the trilogy and the hobbit to me repeatedly they got he big stuff and enought of the little stuff. I'm almost 23 and I love this movie and the last unicorn, nastalga I guess... I guess the fact that I'm a geek doesnt help does it?
wow... they really missed details. like the jewels on smaug's belly, how Bilbo was invisible that time Smaug blows fire up the tunnel at him,and i agree the elves look like goblins.. i thought elves to be taller more human like... o well, can't wait for the remake
i always wondered why they made smaug look like a cat. this movie was horrible, as was the lord of the rings and return of the king (animated mind you, the real life ones rock)
omg this version looks shit... i'm a big lotr fan but i can't defend this crap... its a disgrace... i mean smaug looks more like a friggen lion than a dragon and whats with the elves?
man, i loved that movie. my favourite part was the song at opening, trolls singing (i think) and when they went up mountain and into cave. lol i loved those goblems.
i have to say, regardless of the animation style. i think it suited the time and era of the flick. PLus, not wrong to say that its better than the other animated series of LOTR.
This has been my favorite movie of all time, ever since I was really little. I think I can still resite the whole thing. x] I definately can while watching the movie, I might still be able to without it. <3

Due to the interpretation of Tolkien's work in the 1970's, I don't hold the odd characteristics of the Dwarves or any other characters against them. It is said to be marketted at a child's audience anyway, so to make them as horendous as they did was justifiable. The only quarell I have is that almost all the cast are played by yanks. The least homage they could give to Tolkien's legacy would be to use acclaimed British actors for the roles.
