William L. Snyder purchased the film rights to the fantasy novel 'The Hobbit', but in order to retain the film rights, had a limited window of time to produce a film based on the book. Together with director Gene Deitch, along with a small Czech production team, he produced this perfunctory... thing.

I am fairly sure he did not intend this to be his best work. A narrated moving storybook rather than a proper animation, the storyline is extremely abbreviated & moves quickly, even for children's attention spans. About the best qualities of this film was how scary the artists made Slag & Gollum.

I think this almost would have been better if it had been literally presented as a storybook filmed from over the narrator's shoulder as he turned the pages.
