I completely understand apprehension. I guess my stance is a bit different than most. I enjoy seeing how someone else brings to life a book. If the leave out parts, as long as they don't logically interrupt the story that is being told I'm fine with that. And I guess after growing up with Bakshi(sp) and R/B versions I was very very relieved with what they got right and how they presented the world and story. BTW if you want to put yourself through it, YouTube has the old versions of LOTR and Hobbit cartoons available. perhaps this has not been my best thread, but i have just noticed so much negativity lately and it almost makes me want to shout, if you hated the first set from PJ, please don't go see this next set because you will only hate it more. (That's not directed at you Daniel, just a general frustration). Maybe if I can just read a few more pages I'll come up with some more positive things. Or maybe I'll just keep reading... best investment of the year was Tolkien in Kindle form.

It could be even more interesting to hold a separate discussion posing the flip side of your question
