I’d Pay good money to see it repeatedly!

I still have my copy that I bought at the Museum of National History in Washington back in 1976.

A truly GREAT American classic.

This thread deserves a Ring Ping, assuming the list is handy.

It ios expected that Gandalf and Gollum, and likely Elrond and Galadriel, will be portrayed by the LOTR original cast members.

Ah, Garfinkel the elf, the lands of Two-Door and Four-Door and “a mighty fortress is our Dicky Dragon!”

Funny - they grew up in neighboring towns. DeVito is from Asbury Park and Nicholson is from Neptune.

Never heard of any of the new actors. But I don’t get out much.

“This one...”

Looks like he’d make a better elf. They’d be better off with the original Dick Armitage!

The hokey cartoon was bad *except* for Smaug, who IMO was awesome.

and in the old cartoon, Bilbo was "voiced" by Orson Bean, who is now writing on BigJournalism...

I thought the drawing was atrocious, but the songs were good in that version.
