The Shire, the Shire was truly beautiful. And the most genuine pure, endearing laugh in the film is when Gandalf shoots fireworks out the back of his cart for the kids, and their father laughs and gets caught by his cranky old wife.<P>Merry and Pippin, as they are in the book, were consistently entertaining. As someone else mentioned the Pint thing was a riot, as was Pippin at the Council of Elrond when he asked "ok where we goin?"
