We see Bilbo starting out in the Shire with, I think, Rivendell in the center, followed by the Misty Mountains, Mirkwood, and the Lonely Mountain at the back.

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are all about journeys and that lends itself well to images that are montages of every point in the journey. Is there a name for this type of artwork that covers the entire journey in a single image? I’m going to stick with “montage”, but it doesn’t seem specific enough.

    I grew up watching the 70s version. It’s okay. It’s strongly condensed, but I feel it keeps fairly true to the source.

      That’s what I’ve heard, looks very funky though. I hope we get a newer version once The Hobbit moves into public domain.
