0:08 - Some wondered how characters from 'The Lord of the Rings', like Elijah Wood's Frodo Baggins would be included in 'The Hobbit' since they do not appear in the film. That question is answered quickly as it appears the story will be told to Frodo by old Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm) that we've come to know from the original films. Will characters like Orlando Bloom's "Legolas" be seen the same way or will they be seen as younger versions of themselves in the actual Hobbit story?

0:22 - Martin Freeman left the set of 'The Hobbit' in New Zealand during filming in order to return to his role as "Doctor Watson" in the BBC show 'Sherlock'. This hiatus gave Peter Jackson and his crew time to begin the editing process of the two films. (this could go anywhere, just put it here since it's the first time we see him)

0:35 - 'The Hobbit' was one of the first times dwarves were not treated as evil creatures in literature. Author J.R.R. Tolkien gave them honorable and sometimes comedic qualities in order to endear them to the reader.

0:49 - Author J.R.R. Tolkien used song in 'The Hobbit' often to give exposition to the story and enact a sense of mood. This song, "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold" tells the history of the dwarves.

1:24 - There are many scenes connecting 'The Hobbit' to 'The Lord of the Rings', including this scene with Bilbo looking at the broken Narsil sword, which is reminiscent of Frodo discovering the same sword in 'The Lord of the Rings'.

01:29 - Cate Blanchett returns as "Galadriel". Gandalf is absent from much of the book version of 'The Hobbit', but his journey with the White Council will undoubtedly facor heavily in the two-part film.

1:41 - Another moment of nostalgia for 'The Lord of the Rings' fans as Bilbo unsheaths "Sting", the sword that he will one day pass on to Frodo.

1:58 - The dwarves battle a group of trolls, one of their first major battles in the book.

2:11 - The moment Bilbo finds the ring that plays so heavily in 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy.

2:23 - The moment fans have all been waiting for, the return of Andy Serkis as "Gollum". In addition to reprising his role of "Gollum", Andy Serkis served as 2nd Unit Director on the films.

2:45 Uhhhh women, Frodo never even knew about Narcil in the movie, he didn't even go up there where the statue is with the broken sword. Learn your facts right. :/ And also 4:06 was so sad it was hilarious. X)

Lol, why would they need a "younger version" of Legolas? Elves age too slowly for that to matter.

[greg31415]

@jdw99 Actually, I think they age not at all. So, yeah, a 'physiologically younger' Legolas is not needed.

Did that bitch just interrupt the dwarf song 1:59

@mooseycow11: Most people think it's Thrain II, fighting Gandalf in a moment of insanity before he settles down, gives Gandalf the Lonely Mountain map/key, and dies. If you stop the video at just the right moment you can see pretty clearly that it's a dwarf.

[drdaveoldguy]

@MetalUnknownn: It's pretty clearly a scene shot in Mirkwood forest -- you can see a spider to the left -- so it is equally clear that that is NOT the moment when Bilbo finds the ring.

@TMAEldar444: I've been wondering about that ... you sure?? Because in spite of all the criticisms about mistakes, that was one of just a couple I thought might be valid. (I figured they were just mis-remembering the scene w/ Boromir.) But I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. I just don't happen to have a copy of the extended edition of FotR in my possession.

@GamerGirl010 I don't get what's wrong with 4:06

[TMAEldar444]

@GamerGirl010 in the extended editions of The Lord Of The Rings, you can see Frodo wandering around in the room where Narsil is disposed

[mooseycow11]

3:45 Is that the Necromancer vs Gandalf?

[gannning1987]

Voice over would have been less annoying....
