COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Whimsy submitted by kittenkat101 on June 19, 2012, 9:30am This was a great film from my childhood! Slightly scary for a 6 year old, but it captures the essence of Tolkien's book The Hobbit wonderfully!
Only if you REALLY love the book... submitted by krayla on June 21, 2013, 9:59pm This movie is of interest to those who have read the book and loved it, but it's not a good introduction to the Lord of the Rings series at all. The animation is old, but the main thing that bothers me is that the narrator sings in a creepy voice and some of the movie is so bad it's funny. I highly recommend comparing it to the new movie for fun!
