DH and I rented the old Rankin Bass animated Hobbit off of iTunes over the weekend to compare the two. By time spent to get to that point in the book:
PJ: 3 hours
RB: 20 minutes
Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And the R-B film has lots of leisurely musical numbers!
Break the bowls and chip the plates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
Where there's a whip, there's a way!
Psst. That's from R&Bs Return of the King.
Rodgers and Bernstein's?
Rankin & Bass.
Awww! My StuntHusband is taking me to see a special screening of Auntie Mame on the big screen tomorrow night! (He is the Vera Charles to my Mame Dennis.) He just sent me a text confirming the theatre and screening time, along with the comment "We will be in a room full of faggots. Dress to impress."
Maybe we'll find him a boytoy for the holidays.
I went with IMAX 3D for my Friday Hobbit viewing, I completely forgot about HSF. I wonder when I should try to see that...
I guess that would be a question: other than the dwarf song about the Lonely Mountain, are any of the other songs in the new movie? (And if so, how different are they from the R&B version? I can still hear those songs in my head, though I dislike the elf song when they arrive at Rivendell.)
I remember this one scaring me as kid: [link]
