Tinker has just left Hobbiton.

I have to agree with the rest. My first thought on seeing Bilbo at the end was "Holy Carp, that's an odd looking thing? It sounds just like Bilbo. Nah, couldn't be, could it? Hello...Mister Bilbo, you in there?"<P>I got over it at the sight of the boats to Grey Haven (pretty colors, oooooooooo.)<P>But one thing I did notice. When the Big People offer to take Bilbo with them (obviously in a more touching and dramatic sequence than I make it sound like ), you can see a change in Bilbo. His face lights up a bit, he stands taller, and his eyes have the same determined/joyful glimmer I remember from his 111th birthday. The wrinkles are still there, but not as deep. He looked, younger.<P>That's about the time I sat up and said "Hey it IS Bilbo!" (which for some reason made my already crying friend cry even harder)<P>But maybe that's just me.
