Favorite Little Things about the Trilogy - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I loved the brief appearance of the Hobbits when they come back to the Shire in Gondorean garb.

But what gets me the most is the look on Pippin's face after he accidentaly drops the bucket into the well in Moria. Pitiful, but well expressed.

Gandalf's mumbling in Moria when he was trying to remember where to turn is also one of my favorite little things.

And speaking of Pippin... the "Nothing's happening" at the Doors of Moria is great. Yee-hah for Billy Boyd!

Speaking of Pippin, I only just noticed (actually someone's pointed out to me while watching Fellowship) that he wears a muffler all the time. It's very cute, it looks like a kids' muffler and it makes him look even more childish. I think that's quite a nice touch... No other hobbit wears one.
I have to say the muffler had all my attention after I noticed its existence

I kept bursting into laughter for no apparent reason...

I just speed read this thread and someone said something about Peter Jackson being careful with continuity and for the most part I agree. But please tell me that someone else noticed that when Pippin almost gets crushed by a horse during the battle between the Orcs and the Rohirrim in Rohan his hands are not tied. And this is before - before - he has cut the ropes with the sword on the floor. I checked, a lot!

Kath: Yeah, that instance is an error. In fact, there are a lot of errors like that, but it's hard to expect anything else when you go from filming something in RotK to something in TTT, to something in FotR, to something in RotK, & then finally back to finishing up what you were filming earlier in TTT.

Yes, it's amazing he did it as well as he did. I wasn't really criticising btw, I just needed to know I wasn't going mad!

Evisse-- Yeah, the muffler/scarf is adorable! (There's actually a fanlisting for it

)
