Title: The Hobbit - unreleased version from the 60s
Post by: Thorin on March 13, 2012, 10:25:53 AM
This is a horrible, horrible rendition of The Hobbit, filmed only to be able to hang on to the movie rights for Tolkien's works.  The story is butchered and the dragon's name is mis-stated.  However, they do say my name correctly :)

Well considering it came out of a Soviet Bloc country in the mid-60s and it was directed by former-UPA/minimalist artist Gene Deitch...

Beautiful painting though and nice colour layouts. I can see the Little Golden Book influences.
