The music was very overpowering, it’s outdated as fuck and weird as hell. It felt like it was some sort of Sesame Street adaptation of the hobbit. Also I don’t get why the characters look like garbage pal kids. The only kind of cool part was that you can see some references in here to the hobbit and lord of the rings movies made a few decades later, almost like and Easter egg. I found this movie bad fun more than anything, had a few laughs with the random sound effects and jolty animations.

This is what the live action hobbit should have been more like. We dont need a gritty and dark trilogy with 10 hours of filler. We need a light hearted adventure movie and is no more than 3 hours in total. Also the five armies part is so funny, it feels like a bit that bilbo is doing. And the smaug fight lasted a total of 2 minutes instead of an entire movie

This would have been really good if it was longer

As a longtime fan of the Middle Earth Universe, I thought it was finally time that I watched the 1977 adaptation of The Hobbit. While I criticize Jackson’s adaptation of The Hobbit for being too long and pointlessly drawn out, this adaptation actually has the opposite problem. At just a little over an hour and with hasty pacing, the movie feels rushed and doesn’t dive into most events of the story with proper depth. While I did enjoy the animation a lot, there definitely were some design choices I wasn’t the biggest fan of, as well as certain inconsistencies, namely Bilbo’s hair changing colors throughout the movie. While it has some major problems, this adaptation is more faithful to the book than Jackson’s, and really captures a certain fantasy essence/charm.
