Sweet! I'm honestly more excited for this one than I was for the LOTR Trilogy since I read the book and loved the Rankin Bass animated version when I was a kid, while I never read the LOTR before the movies came out.
Question though: are they padding these two films with some extra stuff, because I remember both the book (and obviously the cartoon) being somewhat short when I was a kid, obviously not the length of each book in the LOTR trilogy, so how do they plan on stretching this out over 2 movies? I'd much rather one 3 hour movie than two 1.5-2 hour movies. I hope to god they don't draw these movies out the way they did with the LOTR films with all the slow-motion dramatic bullshit that just wastes time. There's a reason why so many people refer to those movies as the "Bored of the Rings" trilogy.
