The Hobbit (1985) Soviet Television Movie Adaptation

I have had this version for many years and I have to admit that I kinda like it. Some of those Soviet shows were pretty whacky and quite fun.

The version I have is dreadful quality and this looks much nicer, and longer iirc. Can't check right now but I am sure it is a longer version.

Seems to also have pretty good subtitles

Absolutely, and again, much better than the version I have already Having a quick look across this, it is incredible quality. I absolutely love the way it cuts away to Zinovy Gerdt's narration and I think the closing credits are very nice with the music, which fits really well to the story.

I had to repair the subs on the version I had as it was full of errors.

"A greta day to hang out and smoke" beautiful Tolkienglish haha.
