Wherever this discussion may lead, I am in the opinion that the film version of the Balrog is much, much better than the animated one. I had the chance of viewing the cartoon LOTR and didn't the Balrog look like a lion with butterfly wings? And it wasn't even wreathed in flame and shadow!Perhaps the animators were thinking of the Chimera of Greek myth...
