The most enjoyable quality in the genre of fantasy, is the sense of escapism for the viewer. What I enjoy most about J.R.R Tolkien's 'The Hobbit', is the element of imagination and disconnect from reality he illustrates for the audience. The journeys and adventures, the whimsical characters they come across, the villains, the universe as a whole, is such a disconnect from our own lives, and the most fantastical part of this genre and this particular book, is how easily the viewer can relate to the characters.
The message within many fantasy books and films, like "The Hobbit", is that one doesn't have to be superior, muscular, perfect, magical, or powerful in any way, by nature, nor do they have to possess experience or strength in the obstacles they encounter along the way. The one characteristic the protagonist must possess, is the determination, ambition, courage, and confidence (whether they already possess confidence or find it along the way), to achieve the desired objective.
