Link to YouTube posted video in the article. Significant portions look like a bad acid trip.

The Orcs are the good guys?

Gollum is hilarious.

The artwork in the scenes is quite well done capturing details unlike other cartoon-styled movies, and many scenes are quite beautiful.

Ralph Bakshi made a film version as well.

You have not experienced Tolkien until you have read him in original Klingon.

There was a cartoon version by Ralph Bakshi that was equally as bad if not worse.

It’s been on YouTube for 10 years...

There is a Soviet-era Russian adaptation of The Hobbit on youtube as well.

That one really does look line a community theater adaptation of the book with Community Access TV effects. But despite the shabby production, I enjoyed it because it had tremendous heart and everyone was giving it their best effort.

My favorite adaptation of The Hobbit is the Rankin Bass animated film. A BBC radio production from the 60’s is also worth a listen, though it starts out a bit rough.

Got to give credit where its due as most recent military movies especially ones depicting WW2 are very, very good.

In Soviet Russia, Sauron confiscate Ring from Frodo!
