I was ten years old when I saw the Hobbit and Return of the King and actually love it. As a kid it was more pleasing to the eyes. I never read the books, didn't even know there was books. So this was my first impression it was incredible. This and the Last Unicorn. You have to remember back in those days there was no internet and there was only a few channels to choose from. This stuff was gold and I still love them today. I do wish Fellow ship of the Ring was made in the same style of animation as the Hobbit and The Return of the King they bend in together better, you have to remember these animation was meet for kids. TV was much more strict back then to certain degree. LOL
I still have that animated Ralph Bakshi movie, THE LORD OF THE RINGS (1978), on DVD 😹👍. And if i ever find the computer games of the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy novels for the Commodore 64 and/or Amiga 500, that could be retrospectively awesome 😹😺👍🕹️. I'm also a big fan of the Rankin/Bass movies 😺👍. Greetings from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
I was six years old when the first came out. I watched it on tv some time later. When Peter Jackson version came out in theaters I went and watched it, then bought the dvd. Bought the extended version first then the normal version. Many months ago I went and bought the newer animated (return of the king) version.
It's important to note that Bilbo/Frodo isn't granted invisibility by the One Ring, they are transported to the Unsean World, where the Ring Wraith recite. Not even Sauron could willing destroy the One Ring, so Isildur didn't keep the ring out of greed. Their is two reason why Golum fell into the fire of Mountain Doom, 1. Frodo had cursed Golum earlier, so should he ever touch the one ring again, he would fall into the fire and 2. A wind send by Eru Ilúvatar. One could say it was by Eru Ilúvatar that the One Ring was destroyed, yet that's a little boring of an answer. I still think The Hobbit cartoon is better than Peter Jackson movies.
The worst was the Soviet Russian version of The Hobbit. The Hobbit (Russian: Хо́ббит, romanized: Khóbbit), full title The Fabulous Journey of Mr. Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit, Across the Wild Land, Through the Dark Forest, Beyond the Misty Mountains. Skazochnoe puteshestvie mistera Bilbo Begginsa, Khobbita - IMDb A Soviet TV movie based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Hobbit" from 1985. It features the voice of Zinoviy Gerdt as Bilbo Baggins and other actors as the dwarves and Gandalf.
Reality is totally diferent , animation are harmless to viewers like children. Less violence. Adults have other perception, there are movies with real actors, You know what I mean.
Rankin/Bass did not make the first animated adaptation of The Hobbit. You missed the 1966 theatrical short, written and directed by Gene Deitch and produced by William Snyder. The short can be watched for free on TH-cam. The rest of your video was riddled with errors, some outright mistakes, others adding information that is not in the films. There's too many to go over them individually. But one example [SPOILERS] involves the fate of Helm Hammerhand. He freezes to death during the siege of the Hornburg (Helm's Deep). [SPOILER ENDS]
Dang, he’s right…he has beaten us all. I’m going to walk now. No real direction, I’m just going to walk aimlessly, carrying this loss with me for the rest of my loser existence. I thank you sir, I deserve this.
You’re really going to compare the 1977 hobbit to the 2012 franchise? Seriously? I prefer the 1977 version. They are 35 years apart and technology and cgi are prominent now. This generation is spoiled from a position of progress. At least it wasn’t bastardized and altered for a cash grab.
If you don't think the Rankin/Bass Hobbit was altered from the book or made for money than you don't understand the purpose of a corporation. Rankin/Bass was a company that didn't even do its own animation, they farmed it out to others so they could save on not having their own studio.

Marvelous Videos, Subscribed because your content is fantastic!
I for one like the animated version of the Hobbit more than the live action one.

I still have that animated Ralph Bakshi
movie, THE LORD OF THE RINGS (1978), on DVD 😹👍.
And if i ever find the computer games
of the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy novels
for the Commodore 64 and/or Amiga 500,
that could be retrospectively awesome 😹😺👍🕹️.
I'm also a big fan of the Rankin/Bass movies 😺👍.

The Brave Heroes of Middle Earth
Stephen Fry: "Bilbo pocketed it."
The 70s version was theost comprehensive and closest to the books
I bought The Hobbit and The Lord of the rings, but I can't find the animated sequels to save my life
I really hope that for the New lord of the Rings animated movie they have a big U.S. premiere at Animation is Film Festival in Hollywood.
As long as we steer clear of an earlier (and altogether loose) adaptation of The Hobbit, we'll be fine.
Why did they make Boromir a viking and Aragorn an indian? xD

@MarvelousVideos These LotR animated films were made way before the Peter Jackson films existed

@danwillburn 😁👍
Love the Hobbit and Return of the King, the movie in between not so much. That style of animation looked cheap and lazy...
hobbit in 1977, good. LoTR 1978, excellent. 1980 Return of the King. An okay version, but the voice acting for many of the characters was atrocious.
Mon précieux
Rankin - bass was awful!! I wish Ralph Bakshi had finished it
Some franchises were not made for animation. LOTR is one of those franchises
I disagree. greatly. just need the money and talent to do the animation well and up to a standard that the fans will love. look at what anime can do.
@@HIROX13shup up with that what they can i dont want to hear kids movie
@@Dcuniverse60 animation does not = kids show.
@@Dcuniverse60 Sesame Street is live action.
@@HIROX13 Exactly. This guy's never seen Neon Genesis Evangelion or Elfen Lied.
