Oh my...the thought of what a creative parodic mind could do with a title like "Monty Python's 'There and Back Again - The Hobbit'". Instead of "Break the bowls and crack the plates...", you'd have...

Thorin: Just think chaps! We're about to begin the quest to reclaim...The Lonely Mountain!
Dori: The Lonely Mountain!
Bifur: The Lonely Mountain!
Dwalin: (Muttering) It's only a model...
Thorin: Shhh! (A beat passes) Fellow questors, let us ride to...The Lonely Mountain!
(music begins, the dwarves begin to dance and sing)
We're dwarves of the Lonely Mountain
We're breaking all your porcelain
We bend your forks
Like ugly orcs
With intelligence uncertain
We dine well here at Bilbo's
We have toast and jam and Fritos!

We're dwarves of the Mountain Lonely!
Our mines are fine, not homely!
We craft our jools
And act like fools
But can't beat Smaug alone-ly!
We gotta find a burg-a-ler
And not a fearful grocer-ler!

Eönwë is a guest of Elrond in Rivendell.Eönwë is a guest of Elrond in Rivendell.Eönwë is a guest of Elrond in Rivendell.
Or even a "Brave Sir Bilbo" song.

But I think it should be similar to the book. (Anyway, the LOTR had a bit of comedy in the EE)

Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.
Another possibility of course could be "Carry on Questing" .. davem prepared a few excerpts if I recall...

R. has just left Hobbiton.
I for one never thought of the Hobbit as childish. I all ways thought it was rather serious and dark for the most part. Just my opinion though.
