The animated Hobbit has a special place in my heart

. I'm serious! It was what first introduced me to Tolkien (don't laugh!). Watching it again now I find it quite hilarious and stupid but it still brings back some happy memories. The songs are so funny! I especially like "The Hobbit's Ballad (the greatest adventure)" and the dwarves song. Hehehe!

The wood elves are seriously hideous though, and Gandalfs nose is so long I just want to snip the end off.
I know I watched the Return of the King movie when I was little but I only remember bits and pieces. I remember the "Frodo of Nine Fingers" song. Yuck. I also remember that I thought Frodo was really scary, and I never wanted to read the books after that. Poor, impressionable me.
