I did find that movie a little rushed, especially for anyone who didn't already know the story, but it hit all the necessary plot points in just 1:17. One 3-hour movie could pretty comfortably have covered it all.

I even prefer some of the music.

Like, I don't care if the live-action version of the song is more realistic, or more somber, thematically appropriate, or epic - I'll always prefer this one over the Jackson version:

But the thing to keep in mind about the animated film is that it was very much a product of its time. A lot of the stylistic aspects that some people dislike were less about it being a single short movie or being animated or being The Hobbit - and more about the fact that it was basically pure 70s, and made to appeal to what was left of the hippies who'd loved the fuck out of Tolkien.

If someone had made a Hobbit cartoon in the 2000s it would be a lot different.
