Description
It's Friday and I'm sick, but here's a Friday Fan Art installment!
Disney's Robin Hood and The Hobbit were tied in my poll, so I did The Hobbit this week and I'll do Disney's Robin Hood next
Gads, I had forgotten how weird the proportions on these characters was, the creepy realistic hands and everything else
I did my best 
Still, I loved it as a kid 
John Huston's voice for Gandalf has always been one of my faves 
Smaug though, WTF Rankin Bass?! The fur on the back and that weird cat like head 
The Hobbit Animated TV special belongs to Rankin-Bass
The Hobbit story belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien

Heck, I even have the version of the book that came out when the animation did, so it has all the designs and stills and such.

Awww! I love it! I think you did an awesome job! I love the animation style, it's very unique but is pretty strange. XD I really love your Gandalf!
I'm sorry you're sick. It seems to be going around

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't quite capture it, so many weird random lines
It's that time of the year, no doubt

I hope you feel better. You got the art perfectly. The songs were good, but the Elves looked like dead Nazi Zombies.

OMG! They so did! The elven king was more hideous than Gollum! (who I thought was rather cute in a weird way)
Feeling a little better, still coughing though

It was hard to think that THAT Gollum had ever been a hobbit, thought.

I love this version of the hobbit. (Gollum looked like a frog!) You really captured the style here!
