Along with the LoTR a good 3-4 times. First time I saw that movie, I was blown away.<BR/>It sucked only being able to see once every year or two.<BR/><BR/>I used to have a record of Tolkien actually reading 'Riddles in the Dark' and doing the voices of Bilbo and Gollum. It was so cool. I wish I still had it.Jason Chalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338807457612635479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32948765.post-42413220304055294752008-01-29T13:05:00.000-06:002008-01-29T13:05:00.000-06:00Yeah, the Lord of the Rings wasn't done by Rankin ...Yeah, the Lord of the Rings wasn't done by Rankin Bass (that's why it pretty much sucked).<BR/><BR/>Where There's a Whip There's a Way, awesome, I just looked it up the other day:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdXQJS3Yv0YKennonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921327195112666697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32948765.post-41068250105356139702008-01-29T12:03:00.000-06:002008-01-29T12:03:00.000-06:00So frickin' amazing.

Especially the scene between Bilbo and Smaug. <BR/><BR/>I don't remember much about Rankin Bass' Lord of the Rings. I remember the "Where there's a Whip - There's a Way" song from Return of the King. And I remember the Witch-king being slain by Eowyn.<BR/><BR/>But the Hobbit - I remember it all. Absolutely fantastic.John Kiplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300509813024210892noreply@blogger.com
