Gollum from the 1977 animated The Hobbit gives me the most VISCERAL reaction I'm not even kidding. WHAT is this creature I AM SO UNCOMFORTABLE

live action gollum is like a pathetic little bitch, but this absolute demon right here???? this is a creature so far removed from light and civilization and he would murder you in a heartbeat and you'd be just an appetiser

I got to draw the 1977 animated Rankin-Bass version of Gollum for an art trade!

I love this movie and its style sm😭

I love how most of the Hobbit (1977) characters look pretty decent compared to their modern counterparts. Like...

Good. Nice long beard, staff to not let them pass. Perfect for our favorite weed wizard. 10/10

Pretty decent. Looks a little bit like a human chipmunk, but he's doing his best and is cute in his own Hobbit way.

Snow white and the, like, 13 dwarves? 'can't blame them for going basic and at least they look like dwarves, so I'll let it pass

And then there's just...

...Oh God. Thranduil, what have they done to you?!

This...This is a criminal offense right here! Dwarf propaganda at it's finest!

Despite its flaws, there has never been a more beautiful and faithful adaptation of Tolkien's work

#the hobbit #lotr #the hobbit 1977 #rankin-bass #the sheer fact that they incorporated THE SONGS #the joy and relief of arriving at rivendell to a chorus of elfsong is unparalelled #and bearded elrond with a crown of stars is GOAT #i love the idea of him retaining a beard as half elven #....though in all honesty i think having become spiritually full elf his physiology wouldve followed suit #as the elven form is defined by a half spiritual body... his physiology would've had to have changed alongside his spirit #aragorn retained a strong spiritual form as well due to his elven blood... but as man did not have the full simulatenous conscious presence #and tolkien’s theology certainly wasnt dualist despite depiction of tangible spirituality... it was more ’multidimensional’ than individual #so i think elrond's material form must've aligned to elven biology as well to posess such a spiritual nature... meaning no beard :( #but we can dream cant we #at least we got the shipwright and the ancient un-fallen elves in the West probably have beards too #they'll give elrond one when he gets there

The various silly adaptions of Elrond.

The Hobbit Animated Elrond.

Oh, his name means Star Dome, and he's the only viable candidate to claim High Kingship over the Elves. Okay, we can we can work with that, let's give him a swanky Star crown above the Dome that is his head... get it? Star Dome?

Bakshi Elrond.

Hmmmm... He's a famous counciler....how about a... A bored Roman Senator? Yes, that will do, it wont look silly or jarring with his people or his home at all. Why mayhaps the viewers will think of him as dressed like a numenorean councilman!

Didnt the Numenoreans dress more greek than roman?

Shush!

Rings of Power Elrond.

Hmmm... We need to portray him as he's building his political standing. Not as weary, but still untested and trying to prove himself... How about... A hobbit with a luxerious mane of locks, with Human proportions and dressed like an elf?

Yes, perfect! Here designer, have 10 million dollars for your glorious idea!

Um... Elrond had a pretty distinct blue coat of arms, maybe we should add that in, we have the rights to it i think, and-

PISS OFF, you hack of a "Historian"! When we want your opinion, we'll bloody well ask for it!

I just watched The Hobbit 1977 and it was such a beautiful chaos, loved every second of it

#extinguish me! #I love the dwarves even more #and gandalf is such an asshole #but also an icon #he shows up and saves the day #loved the backgrounds they were very pretty #I had so much fun! #the hobbit #the hobbit 1977 #the hobbit animation #tolkien #lotr #text

I don’t know what exactly it is about it, but the 1977 Rankin-Bass adaptation of The Hobbit is such a comfort film for me

It’s cheesy, but you can tell a lot of love was put in it

I love the art style, the typical Rankin-Bass music, the voice acting, the typical Rankin-Bass sound effects throughout the movie, and the songs. I just find it all cozy

Whenever I rewatch it I do so at night time. It’s like having a bedtime story told to me before I go to bed

My armor is like tenfold shields; my teeth are like swords; my claws - spears; the shock of my tail - a thunder bolt; my wings - a hurricane; and my breath - death

for all it's faults (which are none) the 1977 the hobbit movie really encapsulates the 'cranky old man'ness of bilbo baggins that the peter jackson trilogy fails to do-like that's not bilbo baggins that's just martin freeman playing martin freeman

#my hottest take ever is that martin freeman was TERRIBLE casting for bilbo #its not that he's BAD at it he's just NOT bilbo baggins #my other hot take is that the hobbit should only ever be adaptated via animation #anyways #the hobbit 1977 #you thought you got away from me rankin/bass hobbit/lotr posting but you didnt!! #the hobbit #lotr #he didn't even want to go on the adventure (half the time!) #'there are moments which can change a person for all time and i suddently wondered if i would ever see my snug hobbit-hole again' #😭😭😭
