That was absolutely amazing! Brought back so many memories: not only from the wonderful 1977 Hobbit film, but also from the best movie in the newer Hobbit Trilogy. I got chills.
I wish that this was available more easily. So much of the artwork was designed to looked like Tolkien's own artwork, and the less that things change the more that you have a constant theme.
True facts I read the original books all 3 different Hobbits in public schools Jr highschool in my reading classes in 1977 before the this Arthur Rank Jr and Jules Bass cartoons started on t.v. and then my reading teacher told us to watch the Hobbit cartoon movie on t.v. and then make a drawing of what was your most favorite scene of the cartoon and I drew Smaug dragon and Bilbo with the sword 🗡️ in the mountain castle of Lonely Mountain with hard to draw gold coins all over the Ground since I didn't have any gold crayons . We read all 3 original small paperback extras thick books and I would rent out extra my Capital Salem, Oregon Main large library books of the other different Jrr Tolkien regular size non- small paperback books in 1978 during the summer time. I was 13 years old and 14 years old in public schools Jr highschool reading classes.
"Far over the Misty Mountains rise Leave us standing upon the heights What was before, we see once more Is our kingdom a distant light Fiery mountain beneath a moon The words unspoken, we’ll be there soon For home a song that echoes on And all who find us will know the tune Some folk we never forget Some kind we never forgive Haven’t seen the back of us yet We’ll fight as long as we live All eyes on the hidden door To the Lonely Mountain bourne We’ll ride in the gathering storm Until we get our long forgotten gold We lay under the Misty Mountains cold In slumbers deep and dreams of gold We must awake, our lives to make And in the darkness a torch we hold From long ago where lanterns burned Until this day our hearts have yearned A fate unknown, the Arkenstone What was stolen must be returned We must awake and make the day To find our song for heart and soul Some folk we never forget Some kind we never forgive Haven’t seen the end of it yet We’ll fight as long as we live All eyes on the hidden door To the Lonely Mountain bourne We’ll ride in the gathering storm Till we get our long forgotten gold Far away the Misty Mountains cold."
One of the best songs ever.. It reminds people to seize their destiny, no matter how great the wealth or legacy preceding them might be.. No matter how great the gold, you still have to take it in handm Erebor is a dream and a destination. Never give up on the people that you care for and never stop loving those most precious to you.
It's surprisingly good. Rankin Bass version, the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings movies. *Just be aware they couldn't show death in a kid's cartoon, so they chose a weird visual thing for the Hobbit orc fights.
Esta versión de la canción de la Montaña Solitaria se lleva por mucho a la de la película de Guillermo del Toro, mucho más nostálgica y evocadora, Gracias por subirla
Personally I think that the original version of "Misty Mountains Cold" from Rankin Bass' "The Hobbit" (1977) is the best compared to the one in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" (2011) Trilogy. Because nobody could sing it better than the late legendary Thurl Ravenscroft of The MelloMen could. Very fitting for his unique bass voice. & nobody could ever replace Thurl Ravenscroft in my honest & humble opinion. But 2ndly I LOVE Neil Finn & his son's version too. I promise y'all that. Please don't get me wrong on that 1. R.I.P. Thurl Ravenscroft (1914-2005)
I totally agree with you I love the cartoon music and song almost better than Peter Jackson movies music and song singing and the first starting of The Hobbit cartoon movie on t.v. and I rented the first cartoon movie at Blockbuster movies rental place VCR tapes and video player to rent in 1989 or 1990 I actually love the cartoon men bass barbershop quartet harmony at the beginning of the cartoon movie and the Lord Of the Rings the return of the king song singing cartoons .
Whether it's the Peter Jackson movies or the old Rankin-Bass and Bakshi movies, the movie versions of Tolkien's stuff just makes me emotional and transpoirts me back to childhood (though not the 1950s Hobbit that was made to preserve a copyright) (or that weird Russian version)
the plot was destroyed by the demands of three extra production groups who did nothing to help the movie and only took the money (two out of five actually worked with the logistics of production). the movies were so garbled because there were five different ideas for it, none of which agreed and most of which had no care for the content itself or the continuity/quality thereof.
Der Galran Zhadar Dude that's a bit unfair don't you think? You cannot compare animated to live-action, it may be the same story but they're 2 distinctly different takes & styles+The live-action Hobbit movies, although not on the same level as The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, were still great fun endlessly entertaining movies with an outstanding talented cast of familiar & new faces!!! The Star Wars Prequels were horrible (especially Attack of The Clones), The Matrix Sequels were horrible but The Hobbit Trilogy was anything but :)
+DragonHeart613 So ignoring almost everything Tolkien wrote means a different style to you? I only had to take one look at the first so called movie to see, that this is no longer the story Tolkien wrote. I can't remember reading about beardless dwarves or pale space-orcs, which are unable to die. The original book had enough material to create one, better two movies, which could have been true to the story and still epic at the same time. I don't mind small changes, but rewriting the whole story with it's basic asthetics is something unacceptable to me. This may be a good Trilogie, I guess for action fans it could even be awsome, but it's a utterly terrible representation of Tolkiens world and dishonors all it's inhabitents. I mean, have you ever heard someone saying: "Damn boy, that dwarf is hot."? Dwarves aren't ment to be attractiv to humans, their ladies even have beards too. Tolkien wrote enough about his world and it's characters. He often wrote (way too) many details, which made his stories (unneededly) long. Details like the colour and lenghts of the beards and hoods. But hey, maybe I expected to much thinking that the Hobbit would be based upon it's book.
Der Galran Zhadar Then I take it, you don't much like the Lord of the Rings trilogy either? What with all the changes they made to each of those films and characters they subsequently left out altogether.
They still encounter Bolg, they still go down to Goblin Town, they still meet the trolls and obtain the stolen weapons, they still get caught in Mirkwood and trapped by the spiders, Bilbo still beats Gollum in a game of riddles and steals the One Ring, Gandalf still goes off to sort out that Necromancer (by the by, the Necromancer in The Hobbit WAS Sauron; Tolkien retconned it in Lord of the Rings), the wood elves are still kind of pricks, Smaug still goes off and does all the stuff he does in the book, Bard still shoots him down in one shot, the Five Armies still show up to fight over gold. The movies, even the animated one, you have to remember weren't translations. They were adaptations. Not only that, they're adaptations from different eras with different sensibilities. It's the same thing which leads most modern Tarzan movies to drop all the white supremacist undertones of the original novels. I'm not saying Tolkien's books were THAT kind of dated, but what worked back in the day won't always appeal to modern audiences. I recently tried reading a book called "The Worm Ouroboros", which Tolkien himself said helped inspire him to create the intricate world of Middle Earth. I say "tried" because I couldn't get more than 20 pages before the books INCREDIBLY archaic style of "tell all the visuals and don't give us anything character-related" forced me to quit. If that book was adapted to film today, you better believe that a ton of crap would be changed. Not everything holds up when the thing you're adapting is over 70 years old. And frankly, I find it hilarious that you go on and on about how unfaithful The Hobbit films were to the source material and yet the best specific example you could name is that some of the dwarves are beardless. That's like complaining how James Potter was on a different spot on the Hogwarts Quiddich team. Who cares? It in no way affects the plot, characters, decisions, consequences, or ultimate outcome in any way. Feel free to complain, but if THAT'S your deal-breaker, you're not going to convince anyone.
oh man the drawing style is so bad XD maximum nostalgia. i thought it was bad all those years ago, and still think its bad now! 😂😂 hahaha aaahhh the good old days, when it was so much simpler. no CGI, just a drawing style that really was the definition of "Cartoon"
Yep, it looked better back then and the artistic style they decided on ( based on the illustrations of Arthur Rackham) was fantastic. Sorry that it didn't "do it" for you. lol
With Japanese collaboration this was one of the greatest animated films ever made.
I absolutely concur.
Yes agree it helped create modern anime. Up tell then there really wasn't
Comet in Moominland is better
The vocal style fits so well with the cartoon. I never would have guessed it wasn't if I didn't already know.
I used to love watching this movie with my dad as a kid
No one will ever be able to replace this version.
True. I do hope someone tries though
Now if did it as a cartoon like it again ya agree. Go for it
I love both versions of the song but this is more epic.
That was absolutely amazing! Brought back so many memories: not only from the wonderful 1977 Hobbit film, but also from the best movie in the newer Hobbit Trilogy. I got chills.
I still have my original VHS copy of the original Hobbit movie ^_^
How long is the movie
So I
So do I. I need a VHS player to play it.
I wish that this was available more easily. So much of the artwork was designed to looked like Tolkien's own artwork, and the less that things change the more that you have a constant theme.
I still have my copy and a VCR if I want to watch
One thing in favor of the R/B version: much of the art was designed to look like Tolkien's original illustrations.
My man I don’t think that is track is really rhythm and blues. Is got a sound off aye aye a yah. But really country folk.
Also inspired by the art of Arthur Rackham
@@primeaardvark646 r/b stands for the ones who put the animated version out. Rankin Bass

"Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the heights
What was before, we see once more
Is our kingdom a distant light
Fiery mountain beneath a moon
The words unspoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten gold
We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold
From long ago where lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
A fate unknown, the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned
We must awake and make the day
To find our song for heart and soul
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long forgotten gold
Far away the Misty Mountains cold."
One of the best songs ever.. It reminds people to seize their destiny, no matter how great the wealth or legacy preceding them might be.. No matter how great the gold, you still have to take it in handm
Erebor is a dream and a destination. Never give up on the people that you care for and never stop loving those most precious to you.
This is fantastic
i was 8
Omh this put me to tears cartoon beauty at ots finest
Both versions are fantastic
Top of my hobbit playlist
THANKS FOR SHARE THIS EDIT WITH US
I LOVE THIS SONG!
Amo essa saga
I feel like this song fits more with this version of the Hobbit.
Something about the instruments and vocals give off that 70's Rankin Bass feel.
Singing this for choir. Cant wait ^w^
Great job!! Love this cartoon and this song
Never seen this cartoon ! And I would like to see it.
It's surprisingly good. Rankin Bass version, the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings movies. *Just be aware they couldn't show death in a kid's cartoon, so they chose a weird visual thing for the Hobbit orc fights.
Gives me the best kind of chills
Truly all the movie's are very good!
Movie's what?

Why can't I find that version anywhere?
I remember watching this as a kid my father had the VHS

(though not the 1950s Hobbit that was made to preserve a copyright)

Me da escalofríos este tema.
Who can not like this?
they were expecting the cartoon version from 1977
Smaug, several goblins, wargs, and the Necromancer. That's who!
Everybody with good taste. My eyes are bleeding.
@Gnome I forgive you due to your bad taste...
Great ❤
das ist viel näher an den tatsachen der hobbit als die neuen filme, liebe es viel mehr als die neuen filme
I thought the 1977 animated film including The Lord of the Rings and The Return of the King were excellent films.
I have to say this we're right now reading The Hobbit and at the end I hope we watch the live action version
10 Goblins of the misty mountains dislike this
LOL
They are 67
SOUL
La melodía de esta canción es exelente
Maravilhoso!
Ta bajka mnie rozwala😂
Where can I get this movie
DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (😢)2006
67 orcs, smaug and sauron disliking
This Gandalf was greater than McKellen
I loved John Huston, and I love Sir Ian. I think they pull off a narrative version, and a performing version equally well, respectively.
Amen. This version is really well made
I'm just here to put my comment in... the feels.... the feels.....
Perfect song after seeing the first 3 hours of the story.
So you can redo this and add in the Battle of the 5 armies
Drew Russell have a few other songs in mind for the live-action adaption, couple of which are from Bling Guardian
They shorten the story but no extras like new hobbit. Hate to watch how these extra characters destroy the plot.
the plot was destroyed by the demands of three extra production groups who did nothing to help the movie and only took the money (two out of five actually worked with the logistics of production). the movies were so garbled because there were five different ideas for it, none of which agreed and most of which had no care for the content itself or the continuity/quality thereof.
They played either this or a cover at the end of the first movie in The Hobbit trilogy
This IS the song from the first Hobbit movie.
The werebear approves.
I did not know there was a cartoon version of the hobbit untell I found this video
there are several cartoons of the hobbit story
until
3:56
I think this would have been much better with the original song instead of the newer one.
epic try listening to it in 1.25
Who watched this in 2018
Aye
Well, hello there
2022 baby, oohhhh yeahhhh
Не знал что существует такой мультсериал...
this is the same song from the recent hobbit movie -_-
I think that was the whole point my friend
i thought they would use the cartoon version of the song if they were using the cartoon video :P
True lol
I haven't watched the cartoon and I actually thought this song is made for this animated movie. :p
the song is in the book ...
all the characters in this freak me out.....
Same, I always skip the scene where the get captured cause it scared me as a kid lol
2019
I HATE MYSELF FOR THROWING AWAY THE CASSET TAPE OF THIS MOVIE OST
I like this song beter then the new hobbit lonley mountian song
This song is from the new Hobbit Movie. The video is from the old hobbit movie.
Original song was better. I though the song from the film just sounded like every other fantasy theme.
The music is pretty nearly the only remotely good thing about the Peter Jackson version....
R&B or bust!
2024
Take only one look at Thorin and you will see, that this version is way better than everything Peter Jackson did.
Der Galran Zhadar Dude that's a bit unfair don't you think?

This song is better but the actual movie is not AS good as the live action
Ehhhh........this movie has a charm to me like all old animated movies its just brain washing to me
Ace Ragnarok yeah true this one is extremely good for its time. Its also good because it sticks to the story.
oh man the drawing style is so bad XD maximum nostalgia. i thought it was bad all those years ago, and still think its bad now! 😂😂 hahaha aaahhh the good old days, when it was so much simpler. no CGI, just a drawing style that really was the definition of "Cartoon"
