i enjoy read the book more than watch the same tired old animation by rankin bass . fine for kiddy but still below par animation . why they go back to this low grade animation after ralph bakshis fantastic animation in the lord of the ring beat me . and the voice over be do by the same people from the hobbit . i think they be way below the voice over in the lord of the ring movie . the hobbit be neat in it time but the return of the king be an unfair adaptation of the remain 1 half book . i heard they be make a live action version of the lord of the ring in 3 part i hope they use generated effect for some of the character because midget arent the same a hobbit . i look forward to see all 3 movie .
