    Another blast from from the past. Does anyone remember this cartoon of the hobbit? This is the 1977 book illustrated by Arthur Rankin Jr. Found today for 50 cents! Thanks for looking!

      I dont remember the cartoon but its a wonderful find!!
    2. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Oh you didn't see this? It came on when we were little. Thank you vv!
    3. Vermont, 10 years ago
      Yes, my older brother used to watch that...read the book in middle school...perhaps it's sacrilege, but was not a big fan of the movies
    4. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Hi V! The hobbit is a great book! The movies weren't something I thought I would like, but they are pretty good! It was nostalgia when I saw this book. Reminded me of watching puff the magic dragon and school house rocks :)
    5. Vermont, 10 years ago
      hey jewels, I hear you I'm a bit of a sucker for nostalgia if you couldn't tell :-) Most people do like the movies...as far as acting goes I think Ian McKellan was the redeeming factor.
    6. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      :) me too, a sucker! Ian mckellan, yes, and Viggo mortensen!
    7. Vermont, 10 years ago
      I knew you would mention Viggo...Most women do! (can you stop smiling while thinking of him?)
    8. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Haha, actually my fav character is played by Sean Austin, samwise gamgee, he's sweet!

      As the crowd chants RUDY, RUDY, RUDY....I liked his character in The Goonies, classic '80s movie...there we go again, more nostalgia
    11. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Oh yes, the Goonies! Awesome! And he was the son in War of the Roses, did you see that?
    12. Vermont, 10 years ago
      Yeah, Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas right? Do not remember Sean Astin though...you got me on that one :-)
    13. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Oh that's a classic, you must see it again! Yes, Douglas ??s ?th??n
    14. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      I switched the language on the ipad and can't figure out how to change back, brb
    15. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Oh that was easy, anyway, Douglas and Kathleen turner, and Sean Astin was the son, very minor part
    16. Vermont, 10 years ago
      Definitely, I forgot what a babe Kathleen Turner was back in the day...did we go a little of the Tolkien topic the post began with? :-)
    17. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Haha yeah, six degrees of separation :)
    18. Vermont, 10 years ago
      Absolutely!...so, so naughty
    19. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Haha :)

      I've never seen this book... I'm a big Tolkien fan. The cartoon was fantastic! I'm sure the illustrations for the book are equally great. Super find!!!
    21. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      Thank you toolate! The cartoon was great, I remember it from childhood, but haven't seen it in a long time. The illustrations are from the cartoon. Are you a fan of the movie series?
    22. toolate2 toolate2, 10 years ago
      Very much so. In fact, in many ways, I think Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings films are "better" than the books.... And I've read and re-read the books many times. Now his Hobbit films...not so much...lol...
    23. Jewels Jewels, 10 years ago
      I haven't seen the new hobbit (even though I own it), but I agree, the lord of the rings films are great! :)
