Of course that is not in the book but still I think he would find it cute.

Maybe, it depends, of course it is a blunt fact!

Sorry for bumping an OT, but I just had to comment

I think Tolkien would have loved the art direction - the sets, details, weaponry, design. The love and care people put into creating his cultures through props and sets, out of respect for his work. That would bring a warm fuzzy feeling to anyone's heart.

I think he may have appreciated the art as well.
