Wonderful memories watching this back in my younger days. The movie, although old, still imspires me.

That is a messed up version of Mr. Baggins there in the left corner.

That is an early design for Bilbo that the Rankin-Bass animators came up with. When they actually got around to making the movie, they realized how ugly it was, and changed it. However, that design somehow managed to find itself into promotional artwork (this record cover, posters, etc.)

@zvermilyer3 And somehow they got what a dragon looks like confused with a cat :P

You Know, Tolkien was really a cool guy, he definetly saw the world and humanity in a different way than you or I.

Would you believe I tear up listening to this as I remember my childhood? I remember the ending credits are a sienna-colored image of Bilbo sitting in his chair by the fire, with the Ring on the mantelpiece.

@wayne62682 I do too

Never seen this Hobbit before :) Looks like a great classic!

@oughterard87 This is basicly what started the entire "Dungeons & Dragons" genre.

@oughterard87 And it basicly turned fantasy itself into a genre
