Hobbit movie 1

[bunn]

I would thank huinare for the link to this, but I'm not sure if 'thank' is the right word. :-D

It's a  bizarrely contorted 1966 'movie' of The Hobbit.

Probably many of you have seen it, but I hadn't!   I kind of like it.  Kind of.  The graphics are quite nice, if not particularly Hobbity. But the plot is kind of appalling! :-D

I fear that the charming animation and American-Postgate style narration is more than offset by the decision to call the dragon not Smaug but 'Slag'...

Does that word mean something else in the US or the former Czechoslovakia?

I'm guessing he was going for the 'left over remnants of volcanic action / smelting' sort of meaning, rather than the 'low sexual standards' one :-D

I was thinking it was a bit Postgate in style too.
