The Hobbit, in 72 seconds and Lego.

I remember the first time I tried to read The Hobbit. I was 11 and a budding nerd. Back then, Tolkien was NOT cool, and the only movie adaptation was a really weird cartoon.

Seriously. Immensely creepy.

Regardless, I FINALLY finished reading The Hobbit about 2 years later. Which, coincidentally, is about the same amount of time that it took to release all 3 Hobbit movies.
I've had many arguments with friends about the release of THREE movies, for one book. The point isn't to have that argument again.

So, enjoy the whole story in 72 seconds and made of Lego. Because none of that isn't awesome.
