I didn't know the camara / eye level was at that of the Dwarves! You're right, the eye level will shift when the movie is set in LakeTown or Mirkwood or Beorn's house. I'm curious to see that change. I also wasn't aware of the timing of the publication of The Hobbit (book) and Disney's Snow White (movie). I think perhaps the Disney visual may have had more influence in Western thought on Dwarves than Tolkien - impact of a visual seems to be stronger than the written word. I agree, WETA is amazingly creative.

Do you think they could have still made the Dwarves appealing

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.
