@@BlackDiamond2718 Hobbit Kids: Gandalf! Gandalf! (They run after the cart past Everard Proudfoot who is currently working in the garden.) Fireworks Gandalf! Gandalf! Fireworks Gandalf! (They become disappointed as the cart pulls away from them. Frodo looks at Gandalf. The children stand dejected. Suddenly some fireworks fly from the back of the cart and explode in the air.) Hooooraaaay! (They cheer loudly and jump up and down excitedly. Frodo smiles at Gandalf who laughs. Everard laughs, but his wife glares at him disapproving. His smile fades)
Watching that as a kid, having no idea what the Lord of the Rings was let alone who Gandalf was, instantly left a lifelong heartwarming feel for the character.
See, back before everything had to be ultra-dumbed down and explained in excruciating and insultingly condescending detail lest the dumbest people in the audience feel left out, we called this characterisation.
Yes, he remarks about it himself in the end, but he saved the world, through his sacrifice, he ensured that the rest of the Shire - and indeed the rest of middle-earth - remained safe. If it brings you any comfort, imagine how many hobbits got to live out their days, happily content, in the shire, because of him.
@@generalerica4123 If nothing else, Frodo likely did find peace and comfort in the Undying Lands (Valinor) with the Elves and Gandalf and Bilbo...and Gimli and Sam when they traveled there eventually.
the Wizard line. I've used that one multiple times if I was late for work. boy was I lucky my manager loved these movies and he would let me off if I found some trivia about the movies that he didn't know off (luckily for me on that part she was a novice xD)
It's crazy to think that Elijah Wood was only 18 when he starred in The Fellowship of the Ring!! He's actually the youngest of his peers, and Billy and Sean were already in their 30s when they started filming Fellowship!!
Lol watched the hobbit with my friend, We loved it! my friend had never seen the Lotr movies so when we came home we watched this movie. Before watching it i told her that Frodo was my favorite character and he had the most awesome story and when he turned around at 0:13 My friend was like Woah.. and then she was just mesmerized by his eyes lol i'll always have that memory haha
I loved this scene in the movie. When you first see it, it's not exactly clear why Frodo's not in the house, but when he hears Gandalf singing and he smiles, he's clearly been waiting for him. I love how Gandalf tries to keep from laughing, but they both can't maintain it for too long and they have that hug.
Whats so amazing here is that Frodo was filmed sitting about 10 feet behind Gandalf and their size was entirely a practical effect of forced perspective. And I haven't been able to watch the films the same way again.
Tad Strange What's funny (at least to the characters) is that Gandalf tries to appear serious while Frodo can see right through his act, and he notices this after the staring contest. As for what I personally found funny was Gandalf's facial expressions, and their laughs afterwards
@Bartsudz99 mckellan was actually offered the job for the third Harry Potter movie but turned it down, because he was afraid of repeating himself. And Richard Harris, the previous actor, had called mckellan a dreadful actor.
Imagine Harry Potter trying this on Snape. Snape ‘you’re late, Mr Potter. 5 points from Gryffindor’ Harry ‘a wizard is never late, Professor Snape. Nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to’ Snape ‘detention, Mr Potter. I don’t take cheek from anyone, not even the chosen one. Now sit down before I deduct more house points.’
we 90's kids really got a happy childhood, the economy was lukewar, we were born too early to be ruined by social media and we got to see the movie premiere of stuff like lord of the rings and harry potter. We really hit the jackpot
So I guess sense Gandalf so strongly bonded with the Hobbits! According to the new Rings of power show (kinda shit show but still) the harfoots or proto hobbits I call them, we’re the first to find him..
i’ve got a question, but it’s a bit of a bummer so fair warning. in the narration, Bilbo says that there will always be a Baggins living under the hill, but after the events of the return of the king, Frodo leaves for the Undying Lands - so is there still a Baggins living under the hill? (basically, i’m asking if there’s any other Baggins’s left in the Shire, because i can’t remember any, and that line reminded me of the ending)
Has anyone else ever noticed that the bit at 3:48-3:49 is perplexingly missing from the soundtrack version of "Concerning Hobbits"? That little, extremely high-pitched "dududuh" is missing and nobody ever seems bothered by this except me.
well when they leave middle earth gandalf essentially takes the ship to the north pole where the elves and hobbits interbreed to make modern day elves that craft toys.
ARGH I'm looking for the scene right after this one where Gandalf tells Bilbo that he hardly aged. I need the english wording, but no one got that in anywhere ;-;
