I've never seen the animated Hobbit or RoTK, but the <A HREF="http://www.patriotresource.com/lotr/animated/page1.html" TARGET=_blank>cover art</A> scares the hell out of me. <P>I should try and find it because my kids may enjoy it. Adapting the story of The Hobbit would be far easier then LoTR as the story is far more linear with a clearly defined central character in Bilbo. I think the main problem would be what feel you would want the movie to have. Do you make it whimsical and light, which is more in the flavour of the book, or do you make it grittier and real like the Jackson films? Neither is entirely satisfactory.<P>H.C.
