LEGO: The Hobbit series

The LEGO: The Hobbit series is a series of brickfilms directed by Forrest Whaley; written by Mason Howerton, Forrest Whaley and Sean Willets; and animated by Sean Willets and Forrest Whaley. It comprises four films that are each told from the perspective of a different character from The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings universe. The series was commissioned as part of the paid promotion for the video game LEGO The Hobbit. Though the films are not directly based on this game specifically, they are presented as if they are footage from a video game, featuring a first-person perspective, a heads-up display, and menus. The four installments were released roughly weekly between May and June 2013.
