I have The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King animated all on DVD.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> is there some reason for calling saruman "ARUMAN" other than they think we're too stupid to keep him separate from Sauron<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Esmerelda the Elf-Girl <P><BR>That bothered me too, Esmarelda. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Strider needs pants. No seriously, he looks like he's wearing a skirt. But his charicter is done well. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Rose Cotton<P>I couldn't agree more, Rose! What's with the "no pants" anyway? I did, however, feel his character was more accurately portrayed than in PJ's. PJ's Aragorn had so little confidence in himself and was too young.<P>Legolas: I liked his voice (provided by Anthony Daniels), but not his "bambi eyes". <P>Gimli: Great.<P>Sam: TOTALLY UGLY! What were they thinking?<P>Frodo: Very well protrayed<P>Backgrounds: almost non-existant- guess they figured you had your own ideas so why be bothered.<P>The fall of Gandalf: I thought they portrayed this much more accurately than PJ's as well, though PJ had a really cool Balrog.
