McGrath, I'd have liked the Bakshi one as well, except that it fell into the language trap that I dispise the most...bad teeth and poor diction for the servant class. Every time I remember Sam Gamgee saying something like "Coming, Mifter Phrodo!", I get mad again. Naemanson, you're not alone, my daughter (my boys too, actually) are well acquainted with various Otherworlds, and are probably more comfortable there, socially speaking, than they are in mundane places, like school.
