Reference: DCDL-0018981
Description: The title reads 'Old Hobbits return' but the 'o' in 'hobbits' is crossed out to be replaced by an 'a' so that it reads 'habbits.'

Context: Refers to the Hobbit saga in which a dispute between Warner Brothers, represented by Peter Jackson, and NZ Actors Equity, over a union demand for negotiations over the terms and conditions offered in the contracts for actors and others working on the film very nearly caused the film to be made somewhere else. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
