To say this heavily abridged version of the story takes a few liberties is an understatement. Obviously to tell the story in under 12 minutes requires a lot of stuff to be left out and brushed over, but there are other changes that are quite bizarre. The addition of a princess, no Dwarves, Trolls become "Groans", and most strangely Smaug the Dragon becomes SLAG the Dragon. Yes, Slag. I guess in this version he was a promiscuous East Londoner..
Despite the crazy changes I did sort of enjoy that, although I have no idea why!
