When in reality it was more like 80.LOTRem ipsum is a Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit-themed random text generator created by two web developer friends who like writing code. For everyone primarily familiar with the movies, it therefore seems that there are 60 years between Bilbo finding the Ring, and Frodo destroying it. So, fast forward to the Hobbit movies, and when Bilbo’s writing his story down just before his birthday party, he says that it’s been about 60 years since he traveled to Erebor with the dwarves. Nothing really significant happens during this time (on Frodo’s end, anyway - Gandalf’s been zig-zagging across Middle Earth researching the Ring, helping Aragorn track down Gollum, and other wizardly things), so when Peter Jackson and company adapted this for the movie, they basically compressed the timeline so that it appeared that all of this happened within a few months. When Gandalf is finally telling Frodo about the true history of the One Ring, Tolkien mentions that “ Gandalf was thinking of a spring, nearly eighty years before, when Bilbo had run out of Bag End without a handkerchief.” But what you might miss is that, in the paragraph preceding this sentence, Tolkien mentions that it’s been 17 years since Bilbo’s birthday party. There’s actually a huge time gap in Fellowship of the Ring that they really didn’t show or explain in the movies, so it’s left a lot of fans confused about just how much time passed between Bilbo’s adventure and Frodo’s. How Many Years Between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings?
