Description
A long time ago, in Middle Earth, humans shared their days with elves, wizards, goblins, dragons, heroes ... and hobbits. Just minding his own business, Bilbo has a guest, Gandolf, drop in on him. Soon, one by one a whole group of dwarves drop in and Bilbo finds himself joining the quest to reclaim their kingdom from an evil dragon.Tags

The plot and the dialogue occasionally remind one of a Saturday morning cartoon. A good deal of the subtle humour of Tolkien's original is elided. But the actors and the animation are good. Some of the songs that the goblins sing are positively rousing. The appearance of Gollum and the goblins was ill-conceived, but the dwarves, and Gandalf, the elves, and the dragon are fine.
