The Hobbit (1977 TV Movie)
2/10
A truly vile rendition.

Warning: Spoilers
When I was a little girl, my father would read chapters of The Hobbit to my sister and I, and subsequently Lord of the Rings. His work shifts changed, and soon he had no time to finish the series. So my mother, feeling sorry for us, bought the VHS of this monstrosity.

Words cannot describe the horror.

While largely true to the book, the voice acting is poor, the songs are badly sung, and the animation is dreadful enough to be considered traumatising.

This is NOT worth watching. Wait for Peter Jackson and del Toro to finish, and if that's too hard, then READ THE BOOK AGAIN.
