You are absolutely correct that Fellowship is number one! I think I might rank Battle of the Five Armies higher than The Desolation of Smaug just because of the atrocious melted gold scene.

I recently watched the animated Hobbit with two of my grandkids. Still love it so much. It really does an impressive job of compressing the story into a weird little animated film that just works. My favorite thing about it is how completely unhinged Gollum is. 😂

That melted gold scene is so fun and cool, but I’m probably the only one here who thinks that 😂 mainly I just think it’s a great payoff for the end of the film. When Smaug bursts out of the gold and takes off for Lake Town?? Come on, it’s one of his best moments!

Maybe it could have been, but you and I have had that conversation enough times! LOL
