This seemingly simply animated movie with it's hauntingly beautiful tunes has impacted my life in ways I can't even verbalize. My favorite moment is when Bilbo climbs the tree and upon seeing the sunshine & butterflies says, "There are moments which can change a person for all time, and I suddenly wondered if I would ever see my snug hobbit hole again. I wondered if I actually wanted to". I weep every time I see that scene. The greatest adventure REALLY IS what lies ahead.

@Kiara Thompson It's supposed to hurt. That's the point. People who live their lives too deeply into fictional stories are missing something. They want the adventure without the danger. Their heroes aren't real. It's only fitting Tolkien wrote The Hobbit due to boredom, and that the very word "Hobbit" is rooted in the word "Habit", as in a daily habit doing the same thing over and over.
@mytruepower26 жыл бұрын
@Boom As I see it, the problem is that people need to be given a reason to endure the pains of real life; some accomplishment that can be reached by doing so, and which is worth the struggle, and these days, people seem to see any such reason as the only thing worse than the pain itself. As long as they have that perspective, they *can't justify* facing reality in any consistent way, and that's sad, sad stuff. P.S.: Speaking personally, as someone with too much passion to sit back and live my life in a fantasy world; as someone who went out to face my life and confront my challenges, I can assure you that the rewards offered by the world *are not* adequate to make up for the pain, challenge, loss or futility, so there must be something more.

My dad gave me the boxed LP soundtrack set the summer of 1978, when I was 7 years old (I had loved the animated show when it debuted the previous year). I still have that boxed set, too!

What a wonderful movie this is. Ever since I saw it in middle school way back in 2007, the film looked UGLY to me but it was ugly in a way that caught my attention and kept me invested in the story. Not to mention these beautiful vocal songs by Glenn Yarbrough. Simply an enchanting and beautiful listen. Most people tend to think of their holiday stop motion specials such as Rudolph and Frosty but when I think of Rankin/Bass their hand drawn fantasy adaptions such as these LOTR specials and The Last Unicorn will always be the first things I think of. A special thank you and RIP to the many artists and creatives who made this special a reality including Mr. Arthur Rankin Jr who died in 2014 and (as of this typing) the unfortunate passing of Mr. Jules Bass who’s death was announced today on October 25, 2022. Thank you and sleep well dreamers…

Why older cartoons, music, etc are more meaningful and beautiful than nowadays

+Michael Groesbeck Quite the pessimist I see lol Maybe the world would become a better place if everyone took the meaning of the song into account.

Sean Taylor The world is filled with Luciferians dumby. The only reason to ever get out, is to find a place to die. That's basically what happened with Thorin & Company. Bilbo is just a lucky burglar.

I'm about to go to a new school, a military academy that I've always wanted to go to, for my last year of highschool. I'm sad as I will be leaving behind all of my friends and everything I know, but this truly is the start of the greatest adventure for me.

When I was like...8 or 9, I would watch this movie with my brothers, because I was always afraid of watching it by myself when Gollum came on :P but the music in it is just brilliant, and in my teen years I have come to love this song soo much, and have definitely taken its message to heart.
