Much like Vaporman, this has been the definitive Hobbit movie for me as well. I greatly prefer their version of Gollum, Bilbo, Gandalf, Smaug, Elrond, etc. essentially the whole lot.
And yes, the music is a big part of the film and it sets the mood throughout (which is usually tense).

The animation is gorgeous, my only gripe is the kaleidoscope effect they use to show death (you know it when you see it) and the battle of the five armies is lazily dots and scribbles fighting each other.
Other than that the Hobbit is awesome! No other medium has captured the tone and narrative structure so perfectly. This is the version that I will be showing my kids.
This film was all I ever knew of The Hobbit for decades. I knew of no book. Just this movie. And it always left a big impression on me. The style and animation was so well done, beyond what Rankin/Bass had done in the past. The voice acting, especially for Gandalf, was just superb. For me, that voice will always be Gandalf's. Not that of old man Magneto. And the music... it was haunting. I'll never forget the sound of some of those songs for as long as I live.
