I'm in full agreement about the Walt Disney thing but Pixar is their one good aspect; actual amusing stories, not being whacked over the head with the moral, etc. Maybe not LOTR, but I can see Pixar doing a good children's "Hobbit" (certainly better than the one out there now).<P>Things the would have made TTT worse, where do I begin...<P>Faramir actually grabs the Ring from Frodo.<P>Frodo and Sam actually meet Denethor and thus have to produce an even more unlikely escape than they have with Faramir. <P>Gandalf the White Rider shows up to save the day, and next to him is...Arwen!<P>In an effort to make the story more shaded and artsy, Eomer is portrayed as a swaggering bully while Wormtongue is his saintly, much put-upon whipping boy who turns to Saruman out of sheer desperation.<P>A soft-focus fantasy scene where Grima imagines life with Eowyn (If it were Disney, the song would be "If She Loved Me")<P>In an effort to bring 1970s-style feminism to Middle Earth, Eowyn gives Aragorn a lecture about how the women of Rohan can defend themselves so get away with you, OK?<P>Pippin, watching the Entmoot, can't think of anything except trying to steal apples or pears from the appropriate Ents.
