The Hobbit could be the most underrated speedrun there is. With insane tricks, cool movement, a dedicated community and a rich history. You'll be surprised to see how this small but dedicated community kept breaking and optimizing The Hobbit even 18 years after its release. This is the history of The Hobbit speedruns.
This documentary has been a massive project that I poured my heart and soul into. I'm super grateful to everyone who supported me and everyone who has been a part of the community - be it player or spectator.
