   OMG, the Hobbit that was so bad it almost (nearly closely) destroyed the entire concept of Tolkien movies forever.
   Who can forget the classic, “Where there’s a Whip there’s a Way”?

   Second breakfast? Jeez, no wonder he’s so fat.
   BTW, who is she? His mother? His aunt? His grandma?
   (and to paraphrase Little Red Riding Hood)
   Oh my goodness, what big hands you have, grandma.

   Ae you saying you’re not familiar with the 1970’s animated “The Hobbit” from Rankin/Bass? Do a Google image search and your question will be answered.

   Cool reference, for many of us this was our first introduction to Bilbo and the Hobbits.

    As I remember they tried to do LotR too and gave up in the middle… it was then finished by a different group with a different artist and the art style was better… I forget the artist but he did the film Wizards. I’ll have to look it up later when I have the time.
