    You didn't like the Rankin/Bass version in 1977? I thought it was kinda cute, and the depiction of Smaug was well-drawn.

    Slightly nervous about the fact that it's THREE movies (not really sure how they can do that without it dragging/spreading thin), but still very excited to see it regardless.

    I know, three full-length movies out of that one little book! That's Hollywood, milking it for all the dollars they can get!

    The three movie concept is interesting. The Hobbit itself is short, but there is a lot of extra information in the Lost Tales, Sillmerilion, and Appendix of RotK. I hope it works well.

    Also, I am a Sherlockian. I can't wait to see Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch.

    Yes, yes, yes. I can totally see it being 3 films considering the story and the supplements. I am happy it will not be over after one film. :)

    It has Richard Armitage in it so I will be watching at some point!

    Bet he isn't as attractive as in North and South or Robin Hood though!

    I beg to differ!

    Disappointment? How old are you? I was a small child when it came out. The cartoon was the beginning of my love for Tolkien.

    I have nothing but love for it. My kids watched it also, when they were little.

    I heard they were adding in bits from The Silmarillion. But I haven't verified that.

    I went on imdb today, and apparently Elros is in the second movies. That could mean some amazing flash backs.
