This 60 minute adaptation of Tolkien's classic novel, designed for theatres of all sizes, is a suspenseful, fast-paced  journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth.  Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories.  Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea.  So, when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo's door, bringing him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged-looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested -- at first.  But Bilbo's love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.
