I found the cartoon amusing although it was very wrong, but hey, it is a cartoon and it was made a few years ago. The characters didn't look what many here had imagined, but perhaps this is what the animators believed they looked like, after all, the movie actors don't look like what most had imagined them to when they had first read the book. <P>As for the voices, i think they are pretty accurate and the pronounciations? Well they were interpreted too. Not everyone has the same accent although i think the "s" on Sauruman was pretty obvious.<P>Don't be too harsh on the makers. It was a good attempt and without offending anyone, could you have done so much better to please all of us on here? We are all great fans but have different ideas.....can't expect to satisfy all.......
