I'm One Of Those Who Loved LOTR But Hated The Hobbit Films

Rankin/Bass goblins for the win! I was never a fan of the Peter Jackson designs, especially the Goblin King's "scrotum beard." And I actually thought the goblin sequence was a lot more intense in the animated version than in the live action one. Seriously. Sharp toothed goblins with gigantic mouths. How can you beat that? I know a lot of parents with little kids probably complained that the animated version was "too scary" back in the day, but when your the kind of kid who spends his time making up his own fantasy stories (my brother and I would literally expand on the classic fairy tales, even coming up with a complex backstory for the events of Jack and the Beanstalk), this is one of the best movies ever.
