## HEADING: THE HOBBIT

## LEFT COLUMN
2258. The Hobbit (1978)
J.R.R. Tolkien's The
Hobbit introduced many
readers, young and old,
to the alternate world of Mid-
dle Earth. His tales of a world
of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and
wizards enflamed the imagina-
tions of generations of readers
and has even inspired scholarly
discourse. The Hobbit, perhaps
Tolkien's most popular story,
gets an animated retelling in
this exclusive Disney Channel
premiere. Gandalf the wizard
calls upon Bilbo the hobbit to
recover the throne and
treasures of Thorin the dwarf.
The animated tale features the
voices of John Huston, Orson
Bean, Richard Boone, and Otto
Preminger. DISNEY.

THE RETURN (1980)
OF THE KING
A further tale of Tolkien's
Hobbits. Frodo, a descendant
of Bilbo Baggins, must face the
fearsome Orcs, the Dimey
Gollum, and the Powers of
Darkness to destroy the
dreaded Ring of Doom. (1:37)

OF THE RINGS From DVD
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (Letterbox)
Special Extended Edition
(2000) Thirty minutes of
reinstated footage plus two
discs of bonus material make this "Lord" king.

THE APPENDICES
Making the motion picture trilogy of The Lord of the Rings is
certainly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Peter Jackson
wanted to make sure he captured it all for posterity.

A video diarist documented the entire period of principal
photography. Every drawing, painting, prop, costume,
prosthetic, and rust was saved. Many departments videotaped
all they could, from early design meetings, to location scouting,
to the building of the sets, miniatures, and creatures.

Hours of interviews were conducted specifically
for this DVD, and encompass every department that had
a hand in these films. Everyone - cast, crew, Weta Workshop
and Digital - contributed their time, resources,
treasures, and memories to this DVD.

This is the next best thing to having been there
when this film was made, and an extraordinary opportunity
to see firsthand the talent and passion that brought
Middle-earth to the screen.
