    This was sung by Glenn Yarbrough. Pay attention to the lyrics. You'll be glad you did. The message is extremely profound and full of truth. I loved this song as a child many, many years ago and I still love it. I've only just introduced the video and this unforgettable song to my child. May she remember it for a long time to come.

    I love his voice and I haven't heard anyone who sounds like him or even close to it. I remember watching this movie as A kid and I still like watching it.

    "It's time you stop thinking and wasting the day" hits hard, I think we can all learn from that

    Holy. Shit.
    This was my favorite movie when I was like 5. I fell in love with The Lord of the Rings at a very young age, and this was my favorite song in all the animated series. I LOVE this song!

  • @CaptainSorzo
    @CaptainSorzo Před 15 lety +20

    Classic nostalgia. This is one of my favorite animated films; the Ranklin/Bass version of ROTK comes close, but is sadly hampered by the more serious and violent plot.

      @jacquesdeburgo2878 Před 2 lety +4

      I always felt LOTR is pretty dark and violent it just seems less so because we see it through Hobbits' filter

  • @KingdomHeartsFan3211

    One of the greatest memories from my childhood. Even though parts of the book were removed and changed it's still a masterpiece!

  • @mortvia
    @mortvia Před 15 lety +3

    I had trouble enough taking this movie seriously when I was younger and after the whole 'Lemmiwinks' episode I'm almost completely incapable of watching this.
    This is still a true classic in every notion.

  • @balrog13571

    While other kids were watching Disney, I watched Aliens, Star Wars, and of course this! And when LOTR films came out, I was addicted.

  • @marktabla5434
    @marktabla5434 Před rokem +2

    My dad used to check out the 16mm reels for this movie from our metro library when we were little. I'd rather thread 2 or 3 reels in sequential order into a 16mm film projector like we learned to do as children for Friday night movies (pre-VHS) than watch dozens of randomly shuffled video movie clips with commercials dropped like dog turds in the middle of scenes. How times have changed. (Sigh)

    "A man whose a dreamer, and never takes leave, who thinks of a world that is just make believe, will never know passion, will never know pain..."
    These are indeed timeless lyrics. I relate to the song very deeply.

    You know what my favorite part of this video is? Well, firstly, the fabulous warbling of Glen Yaborough's voice, but mostly I love the fact that at 1:30 there is someone in the cast identified simply as "Theodore". No last name. I've always wondered about this mysterious Theodore...

    Haha, me too. The Hobbit was the one movie I watched over and over and over again as a boy. I was a little introvert yearning for adventure - I remember this song in particular, vividly, almost 20 years later. I remember it whenever I go out and look at the moon at night, stressed out. It never fails to calm me.
    Reality seems dim at times, but the love of life this stuff inspires is priceless. ;) I'm definitely finding a way for my future kids to watch this.

    While I might be forced to admit that PJ's LOTR ....in a quantitative sense, beat the animated versions....
    I guarantee you his Hobbit will NOT hold a candle to the Rankin/Bass version. The Hobbit as a story is ...too folky, too innocent, too anti-war for him to ever do justice to.
    I'll guarantee he'll exclude the most important line of the Hobbit....at the end where Bilbo says, "Thorin is right, I just will _never_ understand war...."
