This is JRR Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’. A classic on so many levels methinks^_^ This reading of the book by Nicol Williamson is an abridged version, meaning of course that it is not the entire book word for word. Anywho, I put some pictures in with the vid, though they’re not in sync with the story. That’s what your imagination is for.. O_o And if ye’re anything like me, ye’ll know that reading a book like The Hobbit, or LOTR & using your imagination to see the world, to create those memorable feelings, is immeasurably more satisfying than watching any movie. Not dissing the LOTR movies here peoples, I quite enjoy the.. first one, but they’re just movies with no-where near the feeling of the books. That being said, I like perrty pictures too & so I put some in here just because. Suggestion: Forget the pictures, have a quiet room, close yours eyes, sit back & listen. With any luck it’s a rainy day. I always seemed to love reading LOTR & The Hobbit on rainy days..

They could do it so the extra butter runs off the bread so there isn’t too much butter.

Heresy!

How else will kids learn of current affairs at the time?
February 4th, 2013 at 8:22 am
Oh god, Dr. Seuss, why?
February 4th, 2013 at 8:54 am
No! but maybe a game!

I do it butter side up but I flip when I eat it so it’s touches the tongue. Problem solved.

Watching this as a child it had a completely deferent meaning, studied the Cold War today and it made me think of the movie

Personally I like to butter my bread and then fold it in half to eat it
February 4th, 2013 at 11:16 am
This brings up the question. Which side of the bread is the bottom or top?

Maybe someday, Universal Studios and Dreamworks Pictures will make a CGI film based on the Dr Seuss book.

GODDAMN YUKE!!! I EAT BUTTER SIDE DOWN!!!!

Ever notice how in the beginning, the grandfather is talking to his grandson about what happened a LONG time ago? But at the end, that “long time ago” turned into what was recently happening, so it’s not a “back then” story anymore like it was in the beginning.
Biggest blooper in history.

This is really freaky

The butter doesn’t fall off… funny enough I find it works better. The butter lines up with your tongue instead of the roof of your mouth

This, Grinch Night, and the Hoober Bloob Highway have the best songs.

when i was a child, i was so upset with the ending and hoped desperately for a sequel, but now that im 21, i get where he was going with the story, thats why i think dr. seuss is for any age
February 4th, 2013 at 3:58 pm
Satire written during the Cold War era. Red Scare and all that nonsense.
February 4th, 2013 at 4:10 pm
They would never have the balls to give it such a chilling, effective ending.
February 4th, 2013 at 4:21 pm
i hope they make this into a cgi movie
February 4th, 2013 at 5:02 pm
Why not in both sides??
February 4th, 2013 at 5:27 pm
Well. yeah, but that way the butter touches your tongue first…I think….
February 4th, 2013 at 5:28 pm
We watched this in class today. Once again, Dr. Seuss hits the nail right on the head.
February 4th, 2013 at 5:29 pm
yea
February 4th, 2013 at 6:00 pm
I find thus one of most interesting stories of Dr. Seuss. Just the fact we have two communities, fighting and arguing over one meaningless, idiotic reason.

Nicol WIlliams is a wonderful actor. Did lots of Shakespeare and other great theatre. Love this audio too

February 4th, 2013 at 11:19 pm
Guys, I’m REALLY sorry for posting this kinda thing (I’m no fan of this either), but this is relevant to this video: I write my own books and I’ve been trying to get my channel off the ground. It’s me reading audiobook-style. If you fancy some light, original stories to listen to I’d really appreciate the support.
Thanks for hearing me out, and apologies for the unsolicited advertising.
February 4th, 2013 at 11:36 pm
or both lol
February 4th, 2013 at 11:55 pm
Or possibly Robin Hood…
February 4th, 2013 at 11:57 pm
I think he means it sounds like Throbbin Wood. Wood, another name for penis.
February 5th, 2013 at 12:24 am
Thanks for sharing. I so love you now because I have been planning to read this but have been really busy so now I can listen this instead.

So? Because he isn’t in the worst possible situation he can be as a human that means hes not allowed to wish for better?
February 5th, 2013 at 2:21 am
Made me think of Peter Lorre.
