- The Hobbit
(1978)
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit introduced many readers, young and old, to the alternate world of Middle Earth. His tales of a world of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and wizards enflamed the imaginations of generations of readers and has even inspired scholarly discourse. The Hobbit, perhaps Tolkein'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 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 test 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.

This film follows the continuing quest of Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship that has joined together to destroy the One Ring and stand against the evil of the Dark Lord Sauron. (PG-13)
