I really enjoyed the animated version. And yes, it did have more aspects of the book. Like, the fact that 17 years passed before Gandalf returned and Frodo set off. PJ pretty much left it so it looked as though it was a few weeks. There's nothing wrong with that, and personally I'm not bothered, but on a general scale, I'm sure book enthusiasts preferred the animated version's references to the time scale.
