Personally I thought the animated in 1978 movies to be, well not well done, each to their own. PJ definitely put in the effort these books deserved.
Once you read the books you will fill in the blanks, things that really stood out and were missed. If taken into the movie I am sure it would have been many hours longer, all in all it was still exceptionally well done.
Hmm maybe they launched that cartoon series too soon and it required the special effects that were available in the 21st century.
I have heard that there was a lot more that could have been squeezed in to the movies from the books. I did feel in the first film that it dragged on a little bit and it was just the hobbits walking with nothing too much happening. But then, I haven't seen the first one for a while. We only watched the 3rd one after Hobbiton visit 🙂
