    They took a book smaller than any of the core LotR series and stretched it like taffy until it produced a six hour long schlock.

    The need to make each dwarf a viable spin-off character was entirely manufactured.

      It wa so bad, and so disapointing. The Hobbit is such a cute, fun little adventure story and they turned it in to this ugly fake epic mess with cringe zionist undertones. Blegh.

        One reason why I love '77 cartoon. A tight 78 minutes. Good art. Good music. Good voice acting. It hits all the high notes. Also, admittedly, tons of childhood nostalgia attached to it.

      Dwalin & Balin

      Kili & Fili

      Dori, Nori, & Ori,

      Oin & Gloin,

      Bifur, Bofur & Bombur,

      and Thorin

      We really need to showcase how beautiful and unique each and every one of these characters is.

        Half of their names he lifted from the Edda, in a setting where almost everyone else has a meaningful name in one of his conlangs.
