I found this movie to be what is too me a great film adaptation of what I find to be my favorite book. While I found it to be a bit too awkwardly condensed in some areas for my liking at times, it doesn't take away from what is a genuinely good film with expert charm, intrigue, and character work. Even with the aged animation and art, it still is quite a sight to see. As a Hobbit fan, this is almost everything you could ever ask for in a Hobbit film. Honestly, the later Hobbit adaptations could learn quite a few things, if only in proper pacing or even keeping the story to a single film. Still a great film that is definitely worth a watch even if you're only a minor fantasy fan.
