Ok. I just about swooned when I read this. A Disney LOTR?!? Not that I'm dissing Disney (love Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood was cute, the Lion King ruled, if you'll forgive the pun), but I'm still reeling over how they massacred Hercules (don't get me started or you'll be reading this post all night!). What would they do to LOTR? Sam would not be a servant. He'd be a 'friend' just living with Bilbo and Frodo, or maybe even Frodo's brother or cousin. I can definitly imagine Disney adding in a talking animal of some kind! Maybe Saruman would have an "Iago" type bird (from Aladdin; it was good, sequels, uh, WEREN'T), or Bill the Pony would be the smartest person in the Fellowship (always telling them to do this or that). Boromir either a) wouldn't have died, b) wouldn't have been tempted by the ring at all, c) would have been excluded, or d) there would be this huge emotional scene between Merry, Pippin and him (Boromir: Don't let the quest fail... Merry: *snif* we won't let you down Boromir!Pippin: *sniff* yeah!"). The Prancing Pony would not have "ale". There would be neither any mention of alcohol or pipe tobacco. Suffer the thought of a Disney LOTR! Reminds me of a quote though... "Death, death, death! Death take us all!" ... "Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!" tee hee!
