The plot and the dialogue occasionally remind one of a Saturday morning cartoon. A good deal of the subtle humour of Tolkien's original is elided. But the actors and the animation are good. Some of the songs that the goblins sing are positively rousing. The appearance of Gollum and the goblins was ill-conceived, but the dwarves, and Gandalf, the elves, and the dragon are fine. (
