You can practicly see where the storyboard got chopped

It is a miracle this short works at all considering the budget and time spent on it. The creator did his best with what he had if you ask me.

I say, expand it to 30 minutes, filling the gaps in the story, and you'll end up something that's not infamous for what it is, but can show its potential for values.

C'mon, it even has a theme with the black heart/diamond heart thingy.

Though beats me why the Spider from LotR is here with the character of Gollam, and how does Bilbo marry a dwarf princess... But if that it is, then that it is!
