I've never watched the cartoons, but at the library where I work there is a book of the Hobbit which is heavily illustrated with scenes from that cartoon.<P>I've paged through it a couple times, the first time out of curiosity and the second time to see if I had just imagined it the first time.<P>The Elves were little, twisted, odd green thingies! Gollum was a frog! Bible looked like a potato! Gandalf's nose was three feet long!<P>My mother says I used to watch it when it was on TV sometimes, when I was very young. Fortunatly, I have no recollection of that, and so when I read the Hobbit I had no déjà vu. Maybe that's another indication of how bad it was, that it didn't resemble the story enough to resurface in my mind at all.
