Imladris has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

Disney...o boy. They have just justified their existance by making PotC. But I think that another reason Tolkien didn't like Disney (now I can't remember if Tolkien actually said this or if this was a speculation of my Mom's) is because they made their characters very cartoonish or parody-ish. Take for, example, Seven White and the Seven Dwarves. Can you really imagine Thorin, Balin, Gimli, or any of the dwarves looking like Grumpy and Dopey? The Seven Dwarves are comical. They don't look like real dwarves. They're soft and cudly. I don't think Tolkien would have liked the contorted forms.
