You know, when my dad first read the Hobbit to me when I was younger, I often imagined Gollum as looking something like a reptile or a frog. Seems like I’m not the only one that pictured him this way.
@@n.u.k.2188 No he wasn't. He was described as being incredibly skinny with pale skin, 6 teeth and large glowing eyes. Like it or not but Gollum's appearance in the Peter Jackson films is the most accurate one to the books.
This version of Gollum made me physically sick as a kid I was so scared. By contrast, I found the Gollum in the Jackson films was kind of cute when it came out when I was an older teenager. Glad to see by the comments that I'm not the only one...
@@evanmiller2562 The only scary part I found about that version, even as a kid, was him in the intro when he shanks Deagol. Otherwise he’s the most pitiable of the lot lol he’s so wretched, I love it
To be fair, this is how it happens in the book: “Does it guess easy? It must have a competition with us, my preciouss! If precious asks, and it doesn't answer, we eats it, my preciousss. If it asks us, and we doesn't answer, then we does what it wants, eh? We shows it the way out, yes!" "All right!" said Bilbo, not daring to disagree, and nearly bursting his brain to think of riddles that could save him from being eaten.”
Well to be fair, Bilbo WAS about to be eaten by a bunch of trolls and goblins prior to this encounter, so I don't think he's very shocked at this point lol
@MarcellaBrittl I thought the same thing every time I see thing every time I saw this version of him. Honestly my favorite design of Gollum personally.
So, for YEARS my dad would tease my mom, calling her "My Precious" in a raspy voice, and my mom didn't like it. Wasn't till my teens when Dad rented this old Hobbit movie when I found out where it came from! They watched it way back when and my mom really hated Gollum. (also I loved the goblin song)
This version of Gollum looks like a rotting creature, which adds to the creepiness. The way he approached Bilbo in the beginning muttering "Gollum, Gollum" while the background noise is just the cave noises... I shudder.
The voice of Gollum is Brother Theodore. Most today best know him as one of the Klopek family from the Tom Hanks movie The Burbs. His peak career was as a popular stage performer in Greenwich Village, NYC in the 70’s. He would deliver stream of consciousness monologues, rambling on and on about utterly inane topics, much of it depressingly grim yet also thought provoking. And all delivered with a very eccentric style of inflection, and in his very heavy German accent. Basically the way Gollum talks here is how he really talked.
Genuinely my favorite voice actor for the role! It sounds so unsettling especially in Return of the King omg when he intercepts them at Mt. Doom, that whole “Precious! Precious is mine! *eugh* Mine! *eUgh* Mine! Nhaaaaah!” He was amazing at capturing the characters unsettling anger
@@hailmammonmoments7568 there are videos of him on UA-cam, just search brother Theodore. He had a brief career revival in the 80’s when he was a frequent guest on David Letterman’s talk show. He actually had a very tragic life; he was born into a wealthy family in Germany but was forced to sign over his family fortune to the Nazis at literal gunpoint. When his family were sent to the death camps he fled to Switzerland where a friend of his family, Albert Einstein, helped him relocate to the US. His grim style of humor was probably a way of coping.
To me this version of Gollum is far more menacing than the movies. Both are good adaptations, but are different. In the movies he is played for comedy, but here is just terrifying. While the movie Gollum use agility and speed, this version is slower, and a little more conniving. You can tell he has a one tracked mind, he is more patient, and he is scheming in his mind. This Gollum would just walk over to Bilbo and take a bite at him, whereas movie Gollum would climb on the walls and ambush him from behind with a rock.
Yeah. While Gollum in the Peter Jackson trilogy is more brutal and conflicted,this one is more intelligent and uses his tricks to get what he wants. Unlike the other movies,Gollums a master manipulator and doesn't care about friends or helping,he just wants his ring.
Keep in mind Gollum in the LotR is a very different character. The main point of him here is to terrify Bilbo but in the LotR he is supposed to be much more pathetic to invoke pity in Frodo. The problem is that by doing LotR first, Jackson and Serkis really missed out on the chance to do a truly terrifying Gollum when it came time to film his scenes for the Hobbit.
Gollum's entire plot in LOTR revolves around him sort of "rediscovering himself". He'd started to come around to his past life as the hobbit Smeagol. Frodo's kindness was the only thing keeping him on a leash; yet, he was too far gone to be redeemed. That's the truly tragic part.
Rankin Bass did what Peter Jackson couldn't, they really managed to get to the essence of Gollum, he wasn't funny or cute, he was hideous and pathetic, and this version captures that beautifully through his design and his voice.
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, It lies behind stars and under hills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter.
Deep in the land of Mordor, in the Fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged a master ring, and into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. *One ring to rule them all* Bilbo: 1:07
There's an element to this that the Peter Jackson and the Ralph Bakshi lacked. Horror. Initially compared to the immediately dangerous trolls and goblins/orcs, Gollum just seems low-key creepy, just some weird creature that Bilbo seems to find. However, as it continues to talk with Bilbo, there's these gradual hints of elements. Firstly, if one looks closely, Gollym's body seems eerily similar to that of a Hobbit....or what used to be a Hobbit until it was warped into this unnatural creature that transitions between humanoid and amphibian. And while he seems mellow outside of his declaration of eating Bilbo, there's the moments where he starts to freak out with his half-lidded, dazed eyes start to show interchanging darks and whites. This is this very legitimately crazy individual, one gone crazy from isolation and it becomes slowly more apparent how dangerous he truly is by the time Bilbo escapes.
When I watched the hobbit this Gollum didn’t even scare me as a kid I absolutely loved seeing Gollum. In peters Jackson’s lord of the rings Gollum will always be my favorite childhood character. My dad and I watched the lord of the rings fellowship and he told everything about why the one ring had to leave the shire and why Gollum wanted the his precious
I think I may actually like this Gollum more than the Peter Jackson version. Something about just how drastically Smeagol has changed into something you would have never guessed was a Hobbit long ago. That design, combined with the small and raspy voice, creates something that feels much more sinister and alone to me.
Actually, I like this version of Gollum. The one in the live action film unsettles me, while this one seems like a salamander who is disturbingly funny.
One if the few things this movie did really well, this gollum stayed with me all my life. I havent seen this scene since I was like 8, and i remembered it crystal clear.
Yooooooooooo.... I found it. It took me over 20 years but I finally found it!! I watched this on Cartoon Network at like 1am when I was sick and couldn't sleep when I was 12 years old... And this version of Gollum SCARED THE BEJESUS out of me. His appearance, his voice, even his skin color bugged me the Fuck out.
I used to have this movie as a kid and when i told my cousin gollum scared me she thought i meant the trilogy movies i had to show her the vhs to show her some real nightmare fuel
This version of Gollum was so unsettling and inhuman that I was actually disappointed by the Peter Jackson version. I thought Gollum in the LOTR trilogy was too cute. lol This animated version was creepy and pathetic, as he should be, but he also really sets off my fight or flight response. I can't imagine how terrifying it'd be to encounter this creature in a deep dark cave where it's nearly impossible to see, and the most you can make out is the dim light of Gollum's bulbous subterranean eyes in the inky blackness. And plus the superb vocal performance of Brother Theodore here really sells this as a creature who has lived alone in the darkness for countless years, having slowly lost its humanity almost entirely from the severe isolation. Truly a disturbing character.
I never understood something about "my precious." He calls the ring his precious but when it's out of his hands he still references the precious as if it's with him
This is one of those rare moments that the animation movie surpasses the live action movie gollum here is freaky I like this gollum then the one they did later in the lord of the rings animated movie
Brother Theodore voicing Gollum - now there’s an example of an inspired choice of casting! I know that we all love Any Serkis but purely for an adaptation of “The Hobbit”, I far prefer the good Brother as Gollum. The design and performance capture perfectly how I imagined this scene when I read it as a boy. I know a lot of people will disagree as it’s perhaps not the popular opinion. Also, If anyone doesn’t know Brother Theodore, check out his Letterman appearances. He was a cult figure in New York giving intense, dark, twisted but always comic rants/lectures about his theories on the world. Check him out in “The Burbs” too. He is endlessly entertaining!
It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,it Lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It Comes first and follows after, Ends life kills laughter
To quote Gandalf "Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."
The way he speaks is much more unsettling than in the Jackson films, but, ngl, I think his design his kinda cute lol. He looks like a tired old frog man.
Also, in the book it’s pitch black during this scene, and so most kids just imagine a scary _thing_ staring at you out of the darkness, so this Gollum falls more in line with that.
@@tizianoferrigno588 I’m sure if they had been planning to adapt LOTR as well, they wouldn’t have designed Gollum this way. However at the time they made this, they were only planning to make The Hobbit, which, the last time I checked, is a children’s story. Where do you get off being so rude?
Tolkien’s original concept of Gollum was one of the Nameless Things described by Gandalf, living far beneath the Misty Mountains, rather than a corrupted hobbit. This design seems consistent with that. There’s also no mention of his former life as Sméagol in this version, giving the impression that he really is some unidentified primordial monster.
This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and I had to search it to masks sure it was real, holy crap!!! Still creeps me out and I’m scared to watch the real life one 😂😂😂
Gollum sais precious to much in the animated movie, more than he sais it in the books. Besides that, it is an amazing scene of the movie; even if the movie is kinda bad - its to many songs and is to rushed into the plot. I like Gollums ”reptile/frog” look, it matches the description from the book, but its to much; you can hardly tell that he once was a Hobbit, he looks more like a frog mutant
In the original Hobbit book by JRR Tolkien, Gollum was meant to be a mysterious cave creature before his backstory was made in the Lord of the Rings trilogy of books. In the Hobbit, Tolkien even said that he didn't know where he came from or who he was, but rather some shadowy creature that lived in a cave. The only thing you could really make out were Gollum's glowing green eyes.
Personally like this version of Gollum better, a type of creature and like he appears as if he’s dying, drained of life, the way I feel the ring would make a person feel after hundreds of years together. Rather than a funny wise cracking hyper active, meth head like the Peter Jackson Version.
in some of the shits Gollum's head is the size of Bilbo's torso, it looks as if he stood up he'd be the size of a normal human. Yet Bilbo handled that cool as a cu cumber.

@@josephdockemeyer6782 I know. The only thing I think is wrong with this version is his voice. He sounds too human.

2:24 I love the way Bilbo reacts to this. Gollum literally threatened to eat him, and he reacts as if he farted at church.
Who reacts like that?

“Does it guess easy? It must have a competition with us, my preciouss! If precious asks, and it doesn't answer, we eats it, my preciousss. If it asks us, and we doesn't answer, then we does what it wants, eh? We shows it the way out, yes!"

And Gollum didn't threaten to eat Bilbo, he PROMISED to, which makes this so much scarier

This design seems consistent with that. There’s also no mention of his former life as Sméagol in this version, giving the impression that he really is some unidentified primordial monster.
where's mip's treasure bomb?
Mip ROCK!!!
I always thought Gollom was some type of fish man until I’ve learned what he was in the lord of the rings.
He is a fish man
The peter Jackson version isn't canon.
@@bert7651 nah he is canonically like a hobbit
I thought he was some sort of Frog monster
@@bert7651 Yeah. Cuz adaptations are canon 😑
@@bert7651 In fact, Gollum is a hobbit distorted by a ring, it was said in the book "The Fellowship of Ring".
I loved this scene when I was like 5
What a neat lil guy
This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and I had to search it to masks sure it was real, holy crap!!! Still creeps me out and I’m scared to watch the real life one 😂😂😂
Artists and animation are precious, even if you don't see or hear them, magic can protect us
Way cooler than Jackson's Gollum.
I watched this for the first time last night! All 3 hobbit movies in one.
Could you imagine how terrifying this scene woukd be if Rankin/Bassxused stop motion?
be careful gollum, mip has a bomb!
0:51 Bilbo Baggins Sends Tommy Pickles And Chuckie Finster To The Audiences / UnGrounded
Rest in peace Orson Bean
I think back as a kid I was more scared of the cartoon than the live action movies of the lord of the rings
be very careful with mip’s creation
So this is where Horse The Band got their intro from “Birdo”
Ducky from Land Before Time has seen better days
Thank you for not setting this to “Made for kids”
This was the first time I'd ever seen Gollum so this was my basis for comparison against all others. Still my favorite. :)
Company Flow sample around 0:45.
Better than the new movies
This Gollum looks like a cross between a toad and Littlefoot from Land Before Time
This version of gollum is cute for some reason
Gollum sais precious to much in the animated movie, more than he sais it in the books. Besides that, it is an amazing scene of the movie; even if the movie is kinda bad - its to many songs and is to rushed into the plot.
I like Gollums ”reptile/frog” look, it matches the description from the book, but its to much; you can hardly tell that he once was a Hobbit, he looks more like a frog mutant
In the original Hobbit book by JRR Tolkien, Gollum was meant to be a mysterious cave creature before his backstory was made in the Lord of the Rings trilogy of books. In the Hobbit, Tolkien even said that he didn't know where he came from or who he was, but rather some shadowy creature that lived in a cave. The only thing you could really make out were Gollum's glowing green eyes.
Personally like this version of Gollum better, a type of creature and like he appears as if he’s dying, drained of life, the way I feel the ring would make a person feel after hundreds of years together. Rather than a funny wise cracking hyper active, meth head like the Peter Jackson Version.
This gollum terrified me. I’m listening to the audio book of the hobbit by Andy Serkis and he definitely makes gollum sound scarier than in the movies
in some of the shits Gollum's head is the size of Bilbo's torso, it looks as if he stood up he'd be the size of a normal human. Yet Bilbo handled that cool as a cu cumber.
2:35 When you come home from a busy day of school/work and find a bunch of family members sitting in your living room.
This is scarier
