Exactly. In LOTR, Gimli stood out.

Gimli was not around the Hobbits for very long, and spent most of his time around an elf and a bunch of men. So he was clearly the odd dwarf out in any given scene. A lot of people are also looking at Gimli as their "dwarf appearance reference point" as well, which is understandalbe; if you think about the other dwarves that we saw in LOTR (in the prologue, at the Council of Elrond), they were all pretty "Gimli-like." Interestingly, in the initial scene of the Fellowship together at the Council of Elrond, Gimli is made to appear a good bit taller than the Hobbits, while here the dwarves and Bilbo are all about the same. I am thinking this is a practical choice as much as anything, since Bilbo is with them almost all the time, and it would take a lot of work to make him shorter (they already have their hands full dealing with Gandalf in relation to the dwarves).

Do you think they could have still made the Dwarves appealing

This wasn't really an "Oscar" movie...

I second the opinion that this wasn't an Oscar movie

In Brian Sibley's book, the Official Movie Guide, he talks about the size

Absolutely. The talent to pull it off is there, from acting and writing to design, and everything in-between.
