So, here's a lost mathom: a twelve-minute cartoon version of THE HOBBIT slapped together by American animators forty-five years ago in order to fulfill a contractual obligation and keep their option on adapting Tolkien's book open.
That such a piece once existed was known, but I was not aware that the footage survived, much less had a chance to see it before.
I'll save commentary for a follow-up post: here's the film.

Was Cor Blok a consultant on the art? :)
