ON THIS DAY: Too many years ago to count, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit of the Shire, found the One Ring, in the cave of Gollum. If you just can't wait for the December release of THE LORD OF THE RINGS and need a Middle Earth fix now, check out 1978's animated, made-for-TV adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's THE HOBBIT. It's a Rankin/Bass production, and it stars the voice of Orson Bean as Bilbo. Just a friendly warning. [today's movie at IMDb]
