Okay, so... this is really silly.

This is a 1985 Russian version of "The Hobbit". Looks to be a bit low-budget, to say the least. Someone on YouTube has gone and broken it up into six parts and added "helpful" subtitles for us, although the person doing the subtitles obviously doesn't speak any more actual Russian than I do. ANYWAY

I can deal with those sort of spiders LOL!

Gollum is odd though, I wonder why they thought he was green?

Thank you - I didn't know that. :-)

I think that green was a typical color for depicting any creature whose habitat are bogs, ditches, caves with puddles in darkness, etc. more relates to frogs and toads, lizards and that kind of water crawlers. This is why Gollum was in green color in Soviet Union.
