HERE is the trailer.

It's been years since I've seen this. I do remember enjoying it.

Anyone seen it?

I first saw it on TV broadcast in something like 1984 and liked it at first. Looking back now (based on memories that are probably 10 to 15 years old from the last time I watched it)...Some of it's OK.

It'd be fun to see them uploading Instagram selfies while on their quest.

When my copy of the Fotonovel was stolen at school, it became a major issue for me, and years later, each time I see one (which is not often) I am still flooded with the impulse to replace the one I lost. I think I have three copies of it by now. I've managed to stop buying them at this point, but hey, who knows? I might come across one tomorrow and feel its exactly the one that was taken...

My affection and admiration for the animated Hobbit is deep and sincere. This one doesn't quite hold the same allure for me over time. The Fotonovel and that issue of Mad however do. :-)

The horrible, wretched rotoscoping ruined the movie's chances for a sequel though. I detest that effect in this movie.

I'm finally sitting down to watch this for the very first time.

It's not uninteresting!

Jackson in the commentary for Fellowship even mentions a shot in the cartoon that he did a direct reproduction of. 

I'm old enough to wonder whether I'll ever see somebody try to make a truly faithfully adaptation of Tolkien. 

At least not live-action.

Perhaps, ... maybe!... a faithful animated version might be made...?

Isn't there a TV show supposed to be in production?

Oh well.

I just would want to see Tolkien's RING. Ain't gonna happen...

I'm sure it will be something like that.

And you are right Michael, it sounds like a prequel set between "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" not a faithful adaptation.
