I first saw the cartoon movie and was enchanted. The text on which it is based, I read almost 20 years later. Like everything Tolkein wrote, The Hobbit is dry, humorless and most of the adventure happens off-screen so to speak. It should be a short story, a prologue to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, just the bit in Golem's lair. Nothing else is of any interest.
