![PONCHET - รักแค่ไหน (How Deep) [Official MV]](/img/n.gif)
This seemingly simply animated movie with it's hauntingly beautiful tunes has impacted my life in ways I can't even verbalize. My favorite moment is when Bilbo climbs the tree and upon seeing the sunshine & butterflies says, "There are moments which can change a person for all time, and I suddenly wondered if I would ever see my snug hobbit hole again. I wondered if I actually wanted to". I weep every time I see that scene. The greatest adventure REALLY IS what lies ahead.
I love that scene. It makes me think of me and how I should get out and explore what I have been missing for so long.
This song is so pretty and deep, indeed.
My favorite part has to be, "Down to Goblin Town." Im sure to have that song stuck in my head all day whenever i watch this movie.
I know right
Jeffrey Harris Waiting for what lies ahead is actually kind of scary nobody knows what the future holds for them but I agree with what you’re saying.
No offense intended to fans of the live action Hobbit Trilogy, but this will always be the best adaptation of the book in my eyes
I wish we could get the best of both in a third adaptation, as both had a lot going on.
Of course this version sums up everything the book intended, it had the basic topics
A quest
Riddles in the dark
The encounter with the Eleven king
The encounter with Smug
The final battle
The end of the quest.
Because it's not retconned like the Jackson films, it's an adaptation of the book as it was originally published, and a very good one in my opinion.
@@MikeFelix1805 Smug? XD
@@thecatladytm7172 ye, that old orc crackhead from the Prancing Pony
This will now be at the start of every DnD campaign.
Rest in peace Glenn Yarbrough. You live on in these songs.
Still the best adaptation of The Hobbit all these years later.
whoever thought to combine The Hobbit with whimsical contemporary folk music was an absolute genius
Before every major life event I play this song, before I joined the army, before I left the army, before I went to college, before my first child was born. I want to keep listening to this song and have more adventures, and I want it to play at the end of my life; right before the greatest adventure yet.
Just found out that the "Lemmiwinks" song from Southpark was inspired by this. Never saw the animated movie or heard this song. It"s a nice song.
Hell of a way to introduce Mr Slave 😂 Trey Parker and Matt Stone are comedic geniuses
Funny af
I remember the night this cartoon aired back in 1977. I was 7 years old, and I transformed my room into a little hobbit hole. I crafted a little wooden sword, made a pipe out of a Tinkertoy set I had, and made a ring out of Reynolds wrap. What fun that was, in a much better, simpler time.
You sir, have my full and genuine respect for that post.
Alex, I like the cartoon better, but I liked the movie also. I was disappointed that the movie didn't have things that the animation had. But the cartoon is only an hour long. This cartoon will always be number one for me, guess because I grew up with it. =)
alex laxson No, I didn't know that, but I can see why. I haven't read the book in years, I think a year after this cartoon came out is when I last read it. The part what disappointed me in the film was the large white orc. I cant remember if that large white orc was in the book or not? In my opinion, that made the movie too war-like, too much like LOTR, and not the adventure that the book was and also this cartoon. I loved LOTR, but that was supposed to be all war, battles, and extreme hardships. The Hobbit should have not been like that, at least not that I remember from reading. What are your thoughts on that?
Funny because my first exposure with the Hobbit was actually this cartoon, and I loved the music, the animation, and the story. Became my favorite that I almost forgot about this movie when I was in middle school. Came back to it in 12th grad to see that I still remember watching this when I was just 5 years old.
I've watched this movie so many times, I could literally act out the entire film right now. My dad had a ring that he gave me, which I pretended was the ring from The Hobbit. It was a pretty good shape for it. And I would--and still do once in a while--listen to that goblin song over and over again.
This song motivates me, anyone feeling down about life should listen to this.
YES exactly!
Brandon Baumann I am a person who’s feeling down about life and this song makes me feel a little bit happy but like not all the time because well nobody can be that happy.
I was 8 when this movie came out, and I feel the same way. "It's time to stop thinkin' and wasting the day"
Mark Barnett I wish I could sometimes but I can get so anxious easily for ridiculous reasons. 😞
Agreed, may we all enjoy this epic adventure life has provided us!
Don't want to sound emo but i'm extremely relieved whenever I hear this song, this really should have been in the Hobbit trilogy even if in the Credits scenes.
it is a very relaxing song
Agree
Agreed. I would’ve loved to hear Billy Boyd cover this
Your idea of emo and what I think of when I think of emo are quite different
The Peter Jackson movies felt bloated with way too many subplots and characters.
My daddy just died; he loved The Hobbit-- 1977 movie, the book, Lord of the Rings movies, etc. This song breaks my heart. Miss you Daddy... RIP!!!
awww
He is probably spending his time talking to J.R.R. Tolkien. :)
@@gilmer3718 aw thank you! he would have been 70 on nov 04 2018. he'd be starting out on an adventure in my mind, if he could have anything he wanted.. watching over his girls while going on his own adventure.
I hope you're doing well 💕
Are you doing ok?
Tolkien would probably like this song. As it fits the Hobbit
I'm about to leave for college tomorrow, and I could think of no better song to listen to before leaving. The Greatest Adventure is what lies ahead!
Theres no lie in that. I hope youre doing well in college and if you arent Im sure youll do better.
What a nerd.
Me too.
Hope this world hasn't corrupted you, cause i dig your comment
How's college been treating you?
Grats man. I was a scared sophomore/junior once. Just got into grad school this week. Good luck master burglar
Ah man, just listening to these songs is making me get all misty-eyed. This movie was probably one of the sole biggest influences on me as a small child. I used to borrow it from the local library every chance I got and watch it endlessly. If it wasn't for this, I never would have gotten into Tolkien or fantasy in general. It may be rather late, but thank you for uploading these.
This was always my favorite song, and one of my favorite movies. My sister would always sing this to me when I was upset, and I love it always.
Pillow Productions aaawh! How sweet!😊
I would’ve loved to hear a little bit of this song orchestrated in the “An Unexpected Journey” Trailer as a nod to the 1977 film.
Me, too.

This is the best version of The Hobbit for me. I remember my dad showing me this movie when I was very young (late 80s). This song still makes me emotional every time I hear it. The animated version of Gollum will always be my favorite.
Let us have a drink, a puff of Old Toby, a glance upon old memories at least..

you lent us dreamers courage greater than ourselves, whether you know it or not
Nickel The Wise Orson Bean died? Now I got sad. R.I.P My Bilbo. Elijah was better as Frodo doe
Dude! I just looked it up, and he died on the day of my birthday! God, that's so sad. I loved him in The Hobbit and The Return of the King. RIP Mr. Bean.
@@beyondthecamera333 Indeed, and such young adventurers will look to the many footprints along the paths that join those older.
Some may look upon ours as well, eh~?
@@rdphoenix07 Remember, when your heart wants lifting.. think of pleasant things.
And of days that heartened to stranger places and exciting times
I grew up on this song. This is my childhood in a nutshell.
Alistir D. me too
Same
awesome
Amen
I see you have good taste Commissar
Theres a Magic in that music, and it moves through me.
you feel the love of beautiful things
@@Embrachu That the point foo'
@@Embrachu and that my friend is what we call an opinion. This song also moves through me.
never before did i think something so simple as this seemingly forgettable movie would soon carry so much meaning to me.
My 5th grade teacher showed this to my class when I was 10 years old! I’m not gonna say those giant spiders didn’t give me nightmares, but this movie kickstarted my love of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings! Now as a senior in high school who just graduated, this song really hits home but with a very uplifting tone that makes me smile!
If you go to college, listen to this again right before you graduate. Before you start your first job, or before grad school.
I remember seeing it in elementary school in the library. It was Gollum and Smaug that really gave me the creeps when I saw it. Never really got into Middle Earth until I saw the LOTR movies during my college years.

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances, the changes are all yours to make
The mold of your life is in your hands to break
The greatest adventure is there if your bold
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold
To measure the meaning can make you delay
It's time you stop thinking and wasting the day
The man whos a dreamer and never takes leave
Who thinks of a world that is just make believe
Will never know passion, will never know pain
Who sits by the window will one day see rain
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances, the changes are all yours to make
The mold of your life is in your hands to break
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
I was literally about to do this, because I needed the words for something entirely unrelated! Thank you very much indeed!
Its "in your hands to bring"
@@brettramsey9802 it's definitely "break". Last I checked, the expression was "breaking the mould" not "bringing" it. Why would you bring a mould of your life? Who would you bring it to?
I come to this song when I'm thinking of ending my life. And it reminds me that maybe, just maybe, the future will be full of good. I respect this song, it has saved me quite a few times now.
Glad to hear you're still rocking, man. Words of a stranger might not mean much, but you got more strength than you know!
You come to this song?Dude how many times are you thinking about it?Get a grip.
@@PanzerShrek94 I hope you never have to feel the suffering someone has to go through to consider ending it all.
@@gingerale326 yeah.but the way he's saying it's like he's thinking about it many times.if someone is this low they should just do it.
@@PanzerShrek94 I have many words of insight into the world of someone struggling with suicidal thoughts but I feel your ignorance would impede you from ever understanding.
Aaaah, this movie was my childhood!
10/10 would cry to
Lemmiwinks!
I'm probably one the only few people that still have this on vinyl the full cover and the 16 page book.. still plays like it was new.. and wouldn't take anything for it... a major part of growing up for my generation.
Cherish it forever, my friend
Andy Krafft oh I will, it will be passed down when they are old enough to know what it is worth...not money worth.. but how we grew up worth, grew up with a radio record player and if we were lucky 3 cannels on the tv abc, nbc and pbs.
Same here still have that album collection with the story book and all! Played it so much as a child I can still almost verbatim recite the entire record story by heart! Great impact on my childhood as well! :)
I still have mine as well. It is in near mint condition.
My mom still has her’s, she used to play it for me all the time when I was little and we still had a turntable
It's only now, 30 years on, that I've realised it doesn't matter where you're going it's how you get there.
Thanks shepherd book
True
I remember as a child I'd constantly rent this movie from the local library, and listen to it over and over. This song has stuck with me for a lifetime, and it is so very powerful. I wish more would listen to it and take the lyrics to heart.
That's my childhood, too.
R.I.P., Glenn Yarbrough.
I really need to thank my dad for giving me the DVD of this movie when I was 2-3 years old. So many incredible memories... I have yet to see the remake, but I know I'll always hold this movie to be the most special in my heart.
Listening to this after hearing Jules Bass died. RIP, I'm trying not to cry now.
I remember when I was younger, I watched this movie and thought, "Bilbo, COME ON! You have the chance to go on an adventure, you can see big mountains, big oceans and dragons, and you *don't* want to go?!"
But, wouldn't you know it? I grew up turning into Bilbo, minus the adventure part. lol
Maybe when I'm 50, I'll get to go on my greatest adventure, remember this song, and have come full circle.
+iamclassicforlife Well it's not just Bilbo. Before Bilbo went to the misty mountains with the dwarves Bagginses never had any adventures. Even Bilbo's mother Belladonna Took didn't go on adventures after she became Belladonna Baggins.
+Commander Armadillo jecifdhghkfvfklxm
Yeah, my life sucks too.
Times almost caught us my friend....
Which is not, when you consider it, a bad thing.
RIP Mr. Bass. Thank you for the many great songs and specials you gave us.
Rest in peace, Jules Bass. You gave all of us the greatest adventure and so much more.
This song has motivated me to stop living in a fantasy world where it is safe, and painless, and to go out and see the real world
Emvial X awesome, I was just thinking that was the message intended. kind of an ironic message considering this is a fantasy world, but just as but great as the real one.
Emvial X but reality hurts😫😣😔
@Kiara Thompson It's supposed to hurt. That's the point. People who live their lives too deeply into fictional stories are missing something. They want the adventure without the danger. Their heroes aren't real. It's only fitting Tolkien wrote The Hobbit due to boredom, and that the very word "Hobbit" is rooted in the word "Habit", as in a daily habit doing the same thing over and over.
@Boom
As I see it, the problem is that people need to be given a reason to endure the pains of real life; some accomplishment that can be reached by doing so, and which is worth the struggle, and these days, people seem to see any such reason as the only thing worse than the pain itself. As long as they have that perspective, they *can't justify* facing reality in any consistent way, and that's sad, sad stuff.
P.S.: Speaking personally, as someone with too much passion to sit back and live my life in a fantasy world; as someone who went out to face my life and confront my challenges, I can assure you that the rewards offered by the world *are not* adequate to make up for the pain, challenge, loss or futility, so there must be something more.
Emvial X Haha, it motivator you to not watch The movies or read The books lol
The song that got me into the lord of the rings/hobbit books :)
I listen to this in the mornings to start my day. I don't suspect I will ever meet someone who adores this song as deeply as I do
There's magic in music
We're out here! Believe me! I met one! We giggled like school girls.
I'm going to sing this song for the talent show at school
i hope you're pretty young. love the song, but this could kill your chance of dating. but you gotta do what's right for you. go for it.
Three years later, but how did it go?!
@A. Sanchez what a pity.
I’m 42 and this song still gets me! I watch the 77 Hobbit every year around the Fall season.
RIP Jules Bass. Thank you for helping bring this masterpiece to life.
So much memory from my childhood
i was only born in 2010, but i was raised on this movie on dvd and it's become such a powerful film towards making me the person i am today. the greatest adventure truly is what lies ahead.
My 4th grade teacher read the book to us while we sat on our carpet squares. I developed a love of fantasy from that and now am working on my own book. I want to have this played when I die and at the memorial.
Ahh nostalgia. I was introduced to The Hobbit from this cartoon. I found it charming. :) The entire story of The Hobbit is meaningful to me because it was my dorm's theme during my first year at college and I love the parallels it has to being a college kid and just starting out in the world.
God brings me back to being a child. I miss those times.
A core memory has unlocked
I still remember when I was a kid, this was my favorite movie to watch with my dad on the couch. And whoever hired Glenn Yarborough was genius because he was perfect for writing music for this.
This was my theme when I moved into my apartment living on my own without someone I was dating or related to. Been living here for a few months and every day still feel new here. It's scary, but exciting at the same time!
Im leaving for my first day of college today and i played this as i rolled out of the driveway
I just moved to Vegas after living almost 39 years in Central NEW York. Posted this quote to FB and left...
a geek after my own heart. go get 'em brother
How r u now?
Graduates college... plays this.
Love to hear what life had in store for you! Fill us in!
Why older cartoons, music, etc are more meaningful and beautiful than nowadays
Because it took actually talent to make quality.
1977?
DANG!
I first saw that movie sixteen years later. I was just a kid. Good times.
Haha, this should have been the main theme for Peter Jacksons movies =D
Why ruin this awesome movie putting it in peters crappit movie
In my opinion, THIS version of The Hobbit is better than Peter's. While it DOES hold a rich mythology, complex themes and frightful creatures like Smaug.
We forget that Tolkien wrote the book as a children's story. As such, this version holds true to that vision well
He did use track #7 directly in the first Hobbit film. (He might have used more songs in the next two Hobbit movies, but I guess I'll never know!)
@@d.m.collins1501 You'll never know? What's that supposed to mean?
@@jongreenleaf1000 Hur durr peter jackson bad hur durr
I love The Greatest Adventure and think it would be a perfect wedding song.
All of America needs to hear this song.
The whole world needs to hear this song.
Sean Taylor I take what I said back. I want everyone to stay in a box.
The world doesn't deserve to continue as it is.
+Michael Groesbeck Quite the pessimist I see lol
Maybe the world would become a better place if everyone took the meaning of the song into account.
Sean Taylor The world is filled with Luciferians dumby. The only reason to ever get out, is to find a place to die. That's basically what happened with Thorin & Company. Bilbo is just a lucky burglar.
Michael Groesbeck . true . but that doesn't mean that humanity can't change . people can always find the path to redemption
There's so much on the horizon, and I can't wait to experience it all.
Rest In Peace Orson Bean, thank you for so many great childhood memories
This made a 50 year old man cry like a baby.
Haaa, beautiful voice, beautiful memories.
This is unironically one of my favourite songs of all time. Probably in my top 10
Shout Factory needs to release this, along with The Return of the King and The Flight of Dragons on dvd. They already did The Last Unicorn, now they just need to do these gems, and everything will be A-Okay. :)
Warner Bros owns the 1974 onwards Rankin-Bass content (except for The Last Unicorn)
I thank my late father for introducing me to this amazing story that is still relevant today and played out in many stories. Something special about this particular one though. And the symbolism of a Hobbit with little strength is so appropriate in this time where we too feel like Hobbits unless we are super powerful.
I'm about to go to a new school, a military academy that I've always wanted to go to, for my last year of highschool. I'm sad as I will be leaving behind all of my friends and everything I know, but this truly is the start of the greatest adventure for me.
This is something I love about the Tolkien universe, is all the wholesome messages that are littered throughout
I was born in 2003 and this movie was such a huge part of my childhood, I rewatch it all the time and will show it to my kids one day
2005, and same. :)
Rest in Peace American director, producer, composer, lyricist, and author Jules Bass (September 16, 1935 - October 25, 2022), who co-founded Rankin/Bass Productions, with his friend, Arthur Rankin Jr. (July 19, 1924 - January 30, 2014). Their productions include Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), Mad Monster Party? (1967), The Little Drummer Boy (1968), Frosty the Snowman (1969), The Hobbit (1977), Jack Frost (1979), and The Last Unicorn (1982).
After all these years it has finally got to 1M, this seemingly piece of lost media has found it’s way out to those who seek it. God bless you Glenn
My childhood
me too....I would write a book to explain
Schmidty030 yep and 1986 transformers and the secret of NIMH
Can't relate to Transformers. I was born in 1998, soooooooo. I don't really know how The 1977 Hobbit entered my childhood, it was just always there.
a wonderfully optimistic song for New Years Eve!
Oh, I remember how we recorded this song and how we recorded the others... What a time it was!! I will never forget the clatter of Bilbo's little feet as he happily ran after filming ended every evening. Damn, I'll have to visit the rest of the cast!!
I sang this song to both my kids as lullabies. Can't get much better than this
My father has this on vinyl, we used to listen to it all the time when we were kids :D
That awkward moment when this movie is actually better than the Peter Jackson version (from a story perspective anyway).
Hylian Dragoon
I agree. Rankin/Bass did a much better job of telling the story of The Hobbit than Peter Jackson. Sticking pretty much close to the book then him.
in basically every way besides money made
If anything, it has more heart.
@@emmetthatcher9583 a movie with heart will always be better than a high budget movie without it.
PJ's LOTR are my favorite movies...but I will watch this cartoon any day over PJs Hobbit
I love how the forest elves look in this version. Lanky folk, just lazing about.
Just watched both the old movies. Hoorayyyy nostalgia.
This song has to be one of my absolute favourites. My husband's best man and one of our close friends played this at our wedding last year and we cried tears of joy for the meaning behind this song for us. We did 5 years of long distance and finally came together to become husband and wife. It has truly been the greatest adventure. 😊❤
When I was like...8 or 9, I would watch this movie with my brothers, because I was always afraid of watching it by myself when Gollum came on :P but the music in it is just brilliant, and in my teen years I have come to love this song soo much, and have definitely taken its message to heart.
the riddles in the dark song was a little creepy for kids.
Lyrics if anyone wants to sing along:
A great adventure is waiting for you ahead
Hurry onward Lemmiwinks, for you will soon be dead
The journey before you may be long and filled with woe
But you must escape the gay man's ass, or your tale can't be told
Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks
Lemmiwink's journey is distant, far and vast
To find his way out of a gay man's ass
The road ahead is filled with danger and fright
But push onward, Lemmiwinks, with all of your might
Lemmiwinks, you are coming to the enterance of the small intenstines. There, you must seek out the sparrow prince.
[Verse 3]
The Sparrow Prince lies somewhere way up ahead
Don't look back Lemmiwinks, or you will soon be dead
Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, the time is growing late
Slow down now, and seal your fate
I am the sparrow prince, long has my spirit been trapped in this place. Before you lies the maze of the small intestines. One path leads to the stomach, the other, to certain doom. Take with you this helmet and torch, let them be your guide.
Take the magic helmet-torch to help you light the way
There's still a lot of ground to cross inside the man so gay
Ahead of you lies adventure, and your strength still lies within
Freedom from the ass of doom is the treasure you will win
Lemmiwinks came to the stomach dark
Near the depths of the lungs and heart
You choose your path wisely Lemmiwinks, I am the Catatafish.
(The catatafish of the stomach's cove)
If you answer this riddle, the esophogous will let you pass.
(Catatafish's riddle will soon be told)
Hang on Lemmiwinks, you solved the Catatafish's riddle, now your trials are nearly through!
Lemmiwinks has made it out, his tale is nearly through
Great job Lemmiwinks, thanks to you we are all free.
But your adventures are just beginning, for you are no ordinary gerbil Lemmiwinks, you are the gerbil king.
All hail the gerbil king!
Now that you're the Gerbil king has more adventures to go on
Fly away to faraway lands and to the setting sun!
There are still so many enemies and battles yet to fight
For Lemmiwinks the Gerbil King's tale is told throughout the night
Lemmi-Lemmi-Lemmiwinks
Le-Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks
Le-Le-Lemmiwinks
Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks
Gerbil King
The Hobbit ... a novel anyone should read and read again in this particular historical time, in these own days. The Hobbit is a great novel, maybe the truliest and greatest, about the war; the madness of course, the horror of course, egoism of men and dwarfs ... but at the same time the tremendous and enormous humanity, a kind of mad and authentic sweetness and innocence making or, better, playing war. About this, the hobbit could surely be considered one of greatest ever imagined
Best animated movie of my childhood. I remember when I first saw the Goblins I was in shock. And riding Worgs. Truly a remarkable creation by two geniuses.
Still my favorite movie of all time
Lemmiwinks!!
I just love that not only did they use this but also the orc song, i can't remember but I recognized it immediately in that episode.
im glad im not the only one who heard these songs in south parks lemmiwink episodes...
Liam Gray that’s the exact reason I looked it up
it wasn't the real songs but it was close enough. they did a good job, but it was so damn gross. too bad they weren't just a tad more artful to make kids who see it these days more curious about the original.
Ecofash Ion shut the fuck up
What a great song - sums up life perfectly.
I love this movie so much and the music is beautiful
I remember watching this cartoon on VHS when I was little!
Wish I could find this on CD! Or iTunes!
try 'soulseek' software - there's lots there that's hard to find. or maybe utorrent... you could also try this page guys - it rips the audio from youtube www.onlinevideoconverter.com/ (good luck)
It is my most favorite memory of mine that I hold close to my heart and very soul.
Man, this takes me back. I used to watch this movie all the time when I was young. Reminds me of simpler times.
What a wonderful movie this is. Ever since I saw it in middle school way back in 2007, the film looked UGLY to me but it was ugly in a way that caught my attention and kept me invested in the story. Not to mention these beautiful vocal songs by Glenn Yarbrough. Simply an enchanting and beautiful listen. Most people tend to think of their holiday stop motion specials such as Rudolph and Frosty but when I think of Rankin/Bass their hand drawn fantasy adaptions such as these LOTR specials and The Last Unicorn will always be the first things I think of.
A special thank you and RIP to the many artists and creatives who made this special a reality including Mr. Arthur Rankin Jr who died in 2014 and (as of this typing) the unfortunate passing of Mr. Jules Bass who’s death was announced today on October 25, 2022.
Thank you and sleep well dreamers…
My dad gave me the boxed LP soundtrack set the summer of 1978, when I was 7 years old (I had loved the animated show when it debuted the previous year). I still have that boxed set, too!
my dad and i watched this movie all the time when i was a kid, i’m now planning to sneak this song into my wedding in the next year or so. my fiancé will be all for it, i just want to surprise my old man with a nice memory
Rip Glenn Yarbrough ;-;
No matter what I am going through- this song always puts a smile on my face! It brings back such beautiful memories from my childhood, and reminds me how much I've grown in mind and spirit.
My word. Nostalgia crits you for 10k.
Thank you for this upload. :)
NOSTALGIA CRIT!
This is a good song to listen to if you're stressed out or depressed
This movie is now 40 years old.
I moved out today, years ago when I first watched the animated hobbit movie and heard this song I would imagine myself playing it as I left home, today was that day and I was fighting tears as I watched the country side fly bye.
