The Lords of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson was one of the most popular, successful and critically acclaimed franchises in movie history, winning a whole bunch of awards including a lot of Oscars. Naturally, after waiting an appropriate (but still pretty short) period of time, Hollywood wanted to make some more money off the fandom. Enter The Hobbit, starring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins!
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey raises lots of questions. Like why did they decide to try and squeeze three movies out of a single book? Why is Bilbo even going on this adventure? Are we supposed to care about these dwarves? Why does that one dwarf look so much like Aragorn? What happened to all the cool make-up? Why is everything now CGI? Why is so much of this movie spent talking about the fact that the Lord of the Rings might happen one day? Why does Radagast the Brown have bird poop on his face?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

That one cracked me up cause it hit home. The amount of CGI in this movie compared to LOTR really killed the movie for me. Couldnt take the Orcs, Elves or the goblins serious in this movie because of it.
@@yancieb Same here. It was as if the whole movie was that scene in Return of the King when Legolas surf down the Mûmakil, again and again and again.
They would have been better off making it fully computer animated.
Thorin at beginning of AUJ: "I hate you Bilbo and don't trust you"

Thorin at end of DoS: "I misunderstood you and like you now"
Thorin at beginning of BotFA: "I hate you Bilbo and don't trust you"
Thorin at end of BotFA: "I misunderstood you and now you are my friend and now I'm dead"
Such is the volatility of a dwarf.
Although does he hate him in DoS?
To be fair, near the middle of DoS/start of BotFA, he was suffering from dragon sickness. Though I don’t remember it being so extreme in the book?
@@violetlavi2207 It was a big deal, but the movie made it worse

3 super long movies at that. Why not 3 tight 90min films...oh wait it's peter jackson.
@@claymonster22 Was under the impression that Peter Jackson didn't want to make 3 movies. The studio forced his hand. Am I wrong?
@@sindri1447 not wrong, but he still made them around 2 and a half hours long each.

The Hobbit: Several Unexpected Diversions from the Plot.
That's so accurate it hurts😂😂😂
How many characters not encountered until LOTR appear in this first installment alone. Apparently there is a female character and romance for Thorin in the next two films?
Just like the book.
(first book) where did THAT come from...? ( :
@@android584 Kili, not Thorin. They created an elven Mary Sue whose sole purpose is to fall in love with him, not really caring all that much that he's a dwarf and their races are supposed to hate each other, thus completely destroying the major significance of Legolas and Gimli's friendship later. And of course Legolas himself also swoons over her but since Thranduil deems her a 'lowly Silvan elf' obviously she is not suitable for him despite being such an amazing fighter, being SO AHEAD OF HER TIME since she argues that the whole dwarven/elven thing isn't helping either of their races and they should aid the dwarves in their quest, being a captain of the guard etc etc etc.
I despise her with every atom of my being :)
"Are the dwarves gonna have fun personalities so we can tell them apart?"
"No, but three of them will be noticeably better looking than the rest."
"What? - why would? - why?"
"Well, this movie lacks the obvious eye candy that really made the Lord of the Rings trilogy a success."
"Are you saying we need to cater to thirsty people to make money?"
"That certainly seems to be the case."
Producer Guy (on phone): "Hey, Orlando, you got a minute?"
Knowing Legolas would be making a come back was a huge motivator in how much Hobbit movie stuff I bought, not gonna lie 🤣
"But what would Legolas do in the movie?"
"Well, he'll just *be* there. Maybe do some gravity defying moves and hey - you should get him a lady friend!"
"But shouldn't we focus on the dwarfs?"
"My bad. Make one of the sexy dwarfs part of an interspecies love triangle! Gotta draw that Twilight crowd in."
fr the only good parts of the hobbit movies are with the lord of the rings characters haha
@@Ryan-xh7pe sooooo the entire series then? Seeing how Gandalf is one of the main characters of both series…
"The Hobbit" would have worked if the studio could've reigned in their greed enough to have it be just one really long movie or two short-ish ones.
I'd have preferred *one* really long film. But then again I'm someone who wishes the ROTK extended edition was even longer, so maybe my opinion is warped! 😂
Two 2-hour films that can be cut into 1 4 hour film.
I mean, there is a lot that goes in the book, so one movie could've been iffy. Two 2-hour movies would've been perfect.
two regular length movies would have been so good imo
My ideal Hobbit movie would be directed more like a road movie, rather than an epic. When trying to compete with LOTR, the Hobbit can only ever fall short - but as a road movie of hapless travellers getting in WAY over their heads, it has huge potential.
"it's definitely gonna fill some screen time."
We're done here people, he summed up the whole trilogy with that one.
Producer Ryan: "Made with CGI?"
Writer Ryan: "Offensively so!"
Yup. Accurate.

LOTR: three movies that skipped over Tom Bombadil and Saruman in the Shire
The Hobbit: LITERAL RABBIT SLEIGH
I am currently reading the books and I am king if disappointed they skipped over tom bombadil
@@theaveragejoe7966 He also plays an important role in world building. Though for the movie I get why they cut him. Sure it would explain why merry could hurt the witch king down the line. And he is mentioned at the council. But cinematically, it might have been thirty minutes of content that was not conducive to the story in Jackson's eyes.
Sadly, this is entirely accurate. For over ten years I've watched the LOTR extended edition trilogy back to back to back once a year. I've watched the Hobbit movies once each. Take that for what you will.
Exact same situation here. They are just so.... Meh
That you have an obssesion.

I'm still convinced Pitch Meeting was used to promote Screen Rant's articles but accidentally became widely more popular than Screen Rant itself.
There should be a Pitch Meeting pitching Pitch Meeting as a way to promote Screen Rant articles.
I think he already did that as the 100th one they released? Minus the part about the articles, perhaps.

@@clairebear1975 true but he could rip it apart and that would be fun.

Wow, I'm really interested in seeing how you adapt the book!
No.
What?
There's a character named Annabeth who is described as being 17 with "honey blonde" hair, so we're going to cast an actress with black hair that looks like she's in her early 30's.
@@HariSeldon913 12*. she became 17 at the end of the books, but during the events of the lighting thief she was around 12 maybe 13 years old at most.
I sometimes forget that Ryan is talking to himself.. Give this man a raise!!
He’s the reason I subscribed to this channel
I’m not used to not being able to binge watch these. Seeing only one isn’t enough...
That's what the studio executives said about the hobbit before stretching it into a trilogy :(
Dude. Ryan has developed a cocaine addiction because of people like you (us). Let a man sleep once in a while!
@Joseph Douek surprisingly yes. More than once actually.
I often times gather round with my friends as we drink and smoke a couple of phatt ones we binge watch them.
Never gets old. This guy is a genius.
Somehow underrated in terms of popularity.
You'd also think this kind of shtick will get old, but it's just pure gold.
I'm gonna need you to get all the way off Ryan's back for not being able to binge anymore
@@JackDManheim I was highlighting how awesome it is, not complaining about anything, the actual opposite.

I would shorten it to
"Ooh! Little gaps are TIGHT!"
"Yes sir, they are!"
Wowwowwowwowwow
I'm going to need you to get all the way off my back about how much I love these Screen Rant pitch meetings. Keep it up guys
Guy. Just one guy.
dude made the phrase "it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience" a classic line
If I'm remembering it right they took Bilbo along because, in the event that the dragon wasn't gone, it wouldn't recognize the scent of a Hobbit. That would allow him to sneak inside and the dragon wouldn't immediately be on guard compared to if it smelled a Dwarf
Hobbits are also remarkably good at stealth, even compared to dwarves, and Gandalf had always had some idea that hobbits needed to be involved in the final defeat of Sauron in some way, so bringing Bilbo along on an adventure was the first step in a long plan to make hobbits as a whole more adventurous.
Gandalf probably had some premonition that they would need a burglar with some moral sense, rather than a more mercenary personality you would likely get with a professional.
I think that's the explanation in the book, but is it in the movie?
@@hagros93 I believe they do address both the stealth and smell aspects. The other points I’m less sure of.
The group needed a thief. Gandalf told the dwarfs Bilbo was a thief.
Wow, this movie was 8 years ago? Almost time to remake it!
Actually not a bad idea .....
Only if they fix it
Or just re-edited it in just one 3 hours movie...
@@ExtremeMadnessX nah we want a new one
Surprised they haven't turned the Silmarrion into like 10 movies already.
To be fair Tolkien himself didn’t explain why Bilbo was needed.
So the book can happen
Bilbo really wasn't needed. He was mostly hired because Gandalf went 'this guy could use an adventure' and then setting him up to get hired for an adventure. Also, it's a reference to Beowulf, but that's another story
"But Hobbits are naturally unobtrusive. Inconspicuous. They possess from the first the art of disappearing swiftly and silently, when large folk whom they do not wish to meet come blundering by; and this art they have developed until to Men it may seem magical." He has a family history of adventurous hobbits.
That's not true. In the book Gandalf stated to Thorin that they might want Bilbo because a Hobbit scent would be different to Smaug than a Dwarf scent. That in addition to Hobbits being natural burglars.
@@cernunnos4151 True & Bilbo was pretty much the only hobbit who wanted to see the world. So it actually makes sense imo.
For those who don't know, the "what do I have in my pocket" riddle only worked because of how old and sheltered gollum was. It was explained as gollum has been alone in the cave for such a long time that the last he'd actually been around civilization "what do I have in my pocket" was a legitimate riddle.
Poor Bilbo. And he was just hired to work at a paper distribution office in England.
And right after his house was demolished for an interstellar bypass.
I thought he was a CIA agent?
And then he started drinking beer with his childhood friends before turning into an alien robot.
He did buy a flat with his friend, pretending they are in a relationship.
Don’t forget the zombie apocalypse with his kid.
"Why didn't the eagles drop them off right at their destination?"
"So the second movie can happen, silly!"
"Very nice."
Eagles were like "We need you to get AAAAALL the way off our backs."
It's the old: Take the eagles to Mt. Doom controversy all over again.
the eagles drop them off super far from their destination lol
@@inarencommander4663 it's not even a controversy it's dumbasses not realizing the eagles would've been either corrupted by the ring or they would've been killed by the thousands of orcs guarding Mordor
The orcs has a lot of guard towers around Mount Doom, so the eagles wouldn't have made it.
It really upsets me that the story was mostly fine but was visualised as more sombre than lotr. The Hobbit was a kids book and lotr was an adult series
"I don't know. Fair enough"
"Super easy, barely an inconvenience"
"I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that"

Thorin is nothing like Aragorn, though. Aragorn is a selfless hero. Thorin is a prideful hothead.
True. But they are similar in the way that the movie presents them to the audience.

@@howmuchbeforechamp Aragorn
But hey, they could do Zac Efron as Eragon too while they're at it.
I remember going to the theater, not knowing this movie was just the first of a trilogy. I had read the book, so an hour and a half in, I was like, "Damn! There's a lot of story left. They better pick up the pace."
Keep in mind that Tolkien's books were inspired by his WWI trauma... and LOTR movies did bypass a LOT of that subtext and even the sad return to the Shire by the end of the books where the Shire was really Orc-ish in how the Hobbits became. Blibo was actually blessed in going to the place the Elves were leaving to.
“So are they gonna have fun personalities?”
“Fun what?”
"Although that is a horrifying idea that we'll PROBABLY do someday"....
LMAO! Hollywood, amiright?
I love how PJ resurrected Azog even though a note in the book says Azog was killed during the same battle he lost his arm and his son was actually fighting during the Battle of the Five Armies.
"That's funny."
"... for like 40 minutes something"

Producer: Feels like it's gonna be tough to connect with the dwarves emotionally

“Not the dislike it’s a bad button” is my favorite thing ever now

New catchphrase!
The Hobbit was my favorite book in childhood. I was so excited to see it in theaters following the LotR...The disappoint haunts me to this day
“He’s from the Lord of the Rings movies” 😂 this video made me laugh so hard. Thank you.
Tiny Arargorn!! 😂
More like 5/8ths size kind of like when you don't want a full Aragorn but more that just half .
Yeah, Thorin being tiny Aragorn makes no sense - he is supposed to be much older (including in appearance) than the other dwarves and a little less heroic. His youthfulness in this is a bit of a plot hole.
@@Tlevids The Ring movies did the same thing to Frodo. In the books Frodo was much older. In the movie, he looks like a teen.
@@raydunakin Agreed, I prefer the older and wiser book Frodo - his relationship with Sam and his position as Gollum's master makes more sense in the book as a result.
Also, the massive popularity of Gandalf among readers and viewers shows that badass older characters can be just as, if not often more, beloved than younger characters so I don't always get this need to make certain characters younger. We already had brave younger characters in the book like Fili and Kili who sacrifice themselves protecting their uncle in battle.
Given that they started making these films with an unfinished script and not much planning, I was hoping to finally hear:
“So, you have a movie for me?”
“No, sir, I don’t!”
Last time that happened the Writer and the Producer had a super awkward time.
They barely even had a director ready. Guillermo Del Toro was originally supposed to direct it, but since he decided to leave, they got Peter Jackson in.
Instead of adapting to the circumstances and give him more pre-production time, they sticked to the deadline and gave him only 3-4 months until full production.
Hence, why we see so much CGI in the finished product.
Thorin Oakenshield, what's his deal? He is a tiny Aragorn. This made me laugh so hard lol
That “wow wow wow wow wow” makes me laugh every time and I’ve watched a bunch of these. You are a comedic genius sir.
Sad thing is... the first one is the good one of that trilogy...
I think the Smaug scenes in the second movie were the best parts of the trilogy but I do agree the first was probably the best overall movies.
I enjoy the second movie the most, personally. Mostly because Smaug is absolutely awesome, but I also enjoy the Dol Guldur bits, and Mirkwood. Not a fan of the Laketown stuff, though
@@madspet9106 Yeah Smaug is great, but I do feel they cheapened him a little with the whole slapsticky cat-and-mouse scene where he's chasing the dwarves through the mountain (not in the books ofc) - it made him seem incompetent and clumsy. Smaug & Bilbo scenes were awesome though. Also the Legolas & Tauriel scenes are way too over-the-top for me; I am not against his inclusion, but he got too much screen time at the expense of original characters (who were actually in the book) like Beorn and the dwarves.
Someone made a Tolkien Cut of just the scenes in the book. Only 4 hours apparently.
@@annedavis3340 I'm surprised it's even that long, tbh. The cartoon's only an hour and a half.
When this country starts depressing me this is where I come to “Pitch Meeting” Thanks Ryan
What country do you live in?
Corporate States of America
The original trilogy is so close to my heart that I literally watch at least one of them a week. They were done with such care no matter what they had to cut or add. I've seen these 3 Hobbit movies 1 time and that was more than enough for a lifetime. Awesome review, almost exactly how I reacted upon watching them 😂
If anyone was wondering, Bilbo was actually needed because the company numbered 13 before he joined, which of course was an unfortionate number.
This pitch meeting has no resolution 😁
Also please make a Pirates of the Caribbean Pitch meeting.
Pirates first trilogy are my all time favourite movies (2 is my favourite)
I saw itttt, now I need itttt. Do Starship Troopers!
"Do you have a movie pitch for me today?"
"Well, I thought we could adapt this one book by Robert Heinlein. You know, that one everyone in Aliens read?"
"Really? What's it about?"
"I don't know. I dropped it five pages in."
"Oh wowowowowow!"
"is he a burglar?" "no" "then why is he needed?" "idk, go ask Tolkien."
If Gandalf says he is a burglar then he is a burglar.
In the book they do actually need a burglar for when they break into Erebor and Bilbo doesn't ever feel that he's not a necessary part of the team (even if they suspect he is not a burglar as Gandalf claimed). He scores points by proving himself in action rather than by sympathising with them about their lost homeland.

As much as the Frodo Cameo was unnecessary I kinda liked it because he did live with Bilbo so it makes sense he’d be walking around and eventually pass by a camera or 2
If Frodo had even been born yet, he would have been a child.
It only makes sense if you are named Peter Jackson and you are getting paid to do it.
@@joshua43214 the cameo was before Bilbo's flashback
@@oriitsemisan What's your point?
Bilbo is 50 in the hobbit, and turns 111 in LoTR, when Frodo turns 33 at the Party. 17 years pass before Frodo and Sam leave Hobbiton.
Frodo is not a part of the Hobbit, any more than Legolas is. Elves, and Dwarves do not have unrequited love in the Hobbit, any more than Arwen considered taking a ship from the Gray Harbor in LoTR.
The LoTR was a mess, the Hobbit was just crap.

Whatever the detractors say, at least we got to see the same actors reprising their roles. Can't imagine any other actors playing Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond.
RIP Old Bilbo
True, but I don’t think Galadriel was in The Hobbit book.
@@TokyoBlue587 No, he wasn't.
@@HighWideandHandsome nor Legolas, tauriel, or azog. They spent at least a week with beorn, who played a greater roll in the book, and who did not look so gosh darn ridiculous. There was less hatred towards the elves. There was no unobrow guy. Bard was captain of the guard/ archers, not some disgraced boatman. Rankin bass did a far better job of making The Hobbit than this trilogy did. Though even that version had to cut content.
I love every single one of these. I've seen them all at least twice.
I was told to hit whatever other buttons I could find.

What can you say about The Battle of Five Armies though? It is just fighting, fighting, fighting and more fighting.
@@flynnthorington Well, there's your joke right there.
Everyone looks like dwarves for the dwarves except for Fili, Kili and Thorin. They are the most handsome dwarves ever. Probably because they're the only one who die of the main cast.
What about Spoiler warnings?
I'm personally a fan of the idea that the different races have vastly different beauty standards and to dwarves, they are not attractive at all.
Same with Hobbits, to them, Sam is the most attractive one because he's the biggest. Frodo would maybe be considered pretty by elf standards, and Thorin looks great through human eyes, but to dwarves? Maybe to them, Dwalin is the hottest.

It's even sadder, to think that Tolkien based those who die off of his best friends that died during WWI.😭😭😭😭
Which Pitch Meeting needs to do the movie Tolkien!!!!
Also can't watch Tolkien without crying each time they mention that all but one friend died.
Completely off topic... but in Tolkien I'm not the only one to catch that the guy who pulls him to safety mentioning "I'm Sam" is the movie's nod to Sam of the next book carrying Frodo and the ring for a short time, right????
Reread the Hobbit earlier this year and found a Hobbit movie on a library shelf. Wondered why it started at Beorn's House. Got the first installment but wondered why it was different for differences sake from the book. But I enjoyed seeing "artists impressions" of the different locations.
I'd honestly forgotten about half this stuff before you brought it up again. That really shows how memorable those movies were.
Just told somebody today to get ALL the way off my back lol and it was FANTASTIC 👌

Hellraiser Pitch Meeting.
I’m only subscribed to this channel for this series.
I love it when the writer gets feisty over his movies being abruptly done. 🤣 5:25
That goblin escape scene was so disappointing. That scene in the book is hillarious
I recommend watching this Pitch Meeting with a high frame rate. Super clear picture, barely a headache.
*Honestly the Hobbit trilogy is my favorite because it was my first exposure to Tolkien on theaters as a kid. I love all 3 movies.*
That's very cute and wholesome, but just know that's an objectively bad opinion.
I feel bad you never got to see the original trilogy in theaters
They're fun films. I, like many others, saw the original trilogy in the theaters. Nonetheless, it's great that you got introduced to a fantastic world created by Tolkien.
@@rareosts5752 That's very rude and uncalled for, but just be aware that as a lifelong Tolkien fanatic, I 100% approve of a new generation being able to find joy in this saga. Even I didn't mind the way they did these films. You don't need to belittle someone for being able to enjoy something just because life hasn't turned them into a complete cynic like you.
You good sir, have a great sense of humor. You got a subscriber.
