It makes me laugh that us grown folk get so excited for this stuff!
We're all kids at heart, but you all knew that already, didn't you?
Totally what I thought as well, and that change of mood sits perfectly with the tone of the book. It does make me wonder what Del Toro would have done with it, because there are few who do fairytale as well as him, but I find it impossible to lament the loss of him as a director after what Jackson did on LoTR. Not long to go until next December...i love how the feel of this one is a wee more like a fairytale. and yes. the singing. shame thorin doesnt have a harp tho.
