height difference between hobbits and dwarves

I thought i read or heard in an interview, or one of the books, or some such that Peter Jackson wanted the height differences to be natural - as in, if Martin Freeman is 5'8" (i don't remember if that is right) and the Dwarves were supposed to be up to about 6" taller, then the actors playing the Dwarves would be about 5'8" up to about 6'2" or thereabouts which is approximately what we have.

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

Exactly. In LOTR, Gimli stood out.

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.
