"the hobbit", d. jules bass & arthur rankin, 1977

still from the 1977 rankin-bass animated film adaptation of "the hobbit". in the frame, a mostly barren tree stands in the foreground as 14 small figures (the 13 dwarves and titular hobbit) and their two pack animals pass in single file. behind them clouds billow across a blue sky

people can hate on it all they want; it was a staple of my childhood and i still love it. the art style alone takes up so much space in my addled little brain. (not to mention those wild-assed songs, which i found myself somehow singing along to as i rewatched today)

there's a version on internet archive that attempts to restore the original broadcast audio with video from the last DVD release. it loses sync at a few spots, but is otherwise enjoyable:
