The movies. Watched these and they seem to be written for younger kids . Itโs been Hollywoodised, the kids look modern, they speak in modern language, the characters are different. It seems to have lost charm. Social class does not exist. Itโs a serious show. Has CGI. If I had never read the books or seen other shows I might think this was good. 2 hobbits
The 1988 BBC series. All the people and places and things are modelled after the original Pauline Baynes book illustrations. The dialogue is taken from the books. The kids have real individual personalities. There is a playfulness to the series. This tv series was the first show, tv or movie, to have cgi , the BBC funded the cgi research, it looks a bit clumsy by our standards but everything else makes up for it. Itโs so enjoyable. 5 hobbits.
