Well, my church was playing it for the Sunday School this morning, so I stopped in and was able to watch most of it, and I honestly didn't think it was anything special. As far as plot went, it had very little to do with LotR except in very rudimentary terms. (Granted, they were trying to put what was an essentially 10 hour movie into 30 min.) And even some of the themes I thought they might draw into it (mercy, friendship...) weren't there - they turned it into a thing about using your gifts. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was disappointed by it.

There was some good humor in it - for example, a slant on the Keebler Elves, but I didn't think it was as funny as most of the VeggieTales movies.
