I would agree with that. When I first saw FotR I hadn't ever read LotR, and I somehow got the impression that Hobbits weren't particularly short, Wizards were just
really tall.
I guess this means that the size difference between Gandalf and the Hobbits was well emphasized, but the difference between the Hobbits and the other characters wasn't shown nearly as well.
