Folks in the United Kingdom and Ireland can rejoice: Engadget reports that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is now available on Netflix. Thanks to Ringer Kristian for the heads-up!
Ringer Rohirrim Rider on the messageboards noted one odd thing about the Netflix version: “opening it up to have a look at it I noticed that it has the MGM logo/animation up first, followed by the Warners/New Line logo. The music is the same although the new order doesn’t fit as well – the Lion now roars right over the opening melody (previously it was in a lull) and the soaring strings suited to flying WB/NL logos much better.”
