How many individuals came to Tolkien through the gateway of The Hobbit<\/em> animated feature<\/a>, first aired on American television in November, 1977? This Took, for one. Who knows if The Lord of the Rings<\/em>, collecting dust on my big sister Nancy’s bookshelf, would have ever made it into my hands two years later if I hadn’t been primed with this classic cartoon? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognition of Bass upon his passing proliferates the internet today. You might enjoy this<\/a> wonderful homage to Rankin and Bass’ The Hobbit<\/em> cartoon – and its impact on the fantasy film genre – by Ryan Britt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
