The version that I downloaded back in October starts out with Aragorn and Legolas watching the Rohirrim comes riding up etc., and doesn't get to Frodo and Samwise until 36 seconds into it. The trailer itself is 3 minutes long.<P>I haven't been able to watch it in the theater yet. The last time I went to a movie I called to see which ones the trailer was playing in front of, and out of the two theaters in my town, it was only playing in front of one movie: Jackass. You couldn't drag me to that movie even if you trussed me up like a victim of Shelob.<P>As to Treebeard, he's supposed to be as big as a...well...tree. And Merry and Pippin can sit comfortably on each of his shoulders (one shoulder per hobbit!) and he picks them up with his hands like that...so yeah I'd imagine he should be about that big.<P>Just to make sure...in the one I've seen all you see of Treebeard is his legs and one arm as he reaches down to scoop up Merry.
