It Might Have Changed the Overall Tone

And, too, it all depends on whether PJ had the rights to all this material and decided to start with TH. Let's say he only had the rights to TH in 1996. Would the movie have been more whimsical and light-hearted? Would it have been oriented more for children? If TH had gone in that direction and PJ eventually did LOTR what would the elves have looked and sounded like? Dwarves? Orcs?
So then PJ chooses to do a serious LOTR and can't make a seamless arc between it and TH. Disaster imho.

Thought experiment: what if The Hobbit had been filmed before Lord of the Rings?
