Would Guillermo del Toro’s Hobbithave been closer to the mood of the book? He wanted a lot of talking animals and stop-motion creatures instead of CGI, so you can imagine a more whimsical live-action Hobbit than what we got.

Infamously, Guillermo del Toro was originally set to direct The Hobbit, but was replaced by Peter Jackson at the last minute, and Jackson eventually expanded the adaptation to three films instead of two.

Instead of a breezy, funny story of a hapless little hobbit who accidentally finds himself in a huge adventure, the three films - An Unexpected Journey (2012), The Desolation of Smaug (2013), and The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) - turn Bilbo Baggins’ romp into an epic that matches the tone of The Lord of the Rings films and novels, but not the mood of the children’s book from which all of this came. The Hobbit film trilogy has a reputation for representing the opposite of what’s great about the original 1937 novel. But, in 2014, Peter Jackson’s final Hobbit film - The Battle of the Five Armies - set out to “correct” this plot point, with mixed results. The decision to have Bilbo sleep through the climax has been long-debated by Middle-earth fans.

Tolkien infamously renders Bilbo unconscious, having him miss out on the Battle of the Five Armies.
