The Hobbit on VHS. Starring Orson Bean, John Huston, Brother Theodore, Richard Boone, Otto Preminger, Hans Conried, Cyril Ritchard, Glenn Yarbrough. Directed by Jules Bass, Arthur Rankin Jr. 1977.

From the box:

The place is Middle Earth. The time is long ago, when man shared his days with elves, wizards, goblins, dragons, heroes… and hobbits. Bilbo Baggins is a hero and a hobbit, a roundish, peaceable homebody who sets off on a dangerous quest–even though adventures make hobbits late for dinner!

The adventure begins when the great wizard Gandalf enlists Bilbo’s aid in retrieving a fabulous treasure stolen from friendly dwarves. All Bilbo must do is brave dark forest, towering mountains, hobbit-eating trolls, a slimy Gollum, gigantic spiders, a flame-breathing dragon and more terrors that would alarm any hobbit who’d much rather be home eating buttered muffins. But, reluctantly, off Bilbo goes — so dragons beware!
