The Hobbit (1977 film)
"The Hobbit" was animated by Topcraft, a now-defunct Japanese animation studio whose animation team would re-form as Studio Ghibli under Hayao Miyazaki. Topcraft successfully partnered with Rankin/Bass on several other co-productions, including "The Last Unicorn". According to Rankin, the visual style of the film took its basic cue from the early illustrations of Arthur Rackham.
