I think in the movie the peasants were WAY to poor and dirty. I personally am more of a book guy, (I read the entire lotr series, silmarillion, hobbit, exc. every year at least once as a rule) and in the book they are much better. I think they could have done better portraying them...

And yes, the kids are out of place.

Of course, but they're just too faux-cute for me! They're just trying way too hard! Instead of evoking sympathy, they make me feel as though I've stumbled into a viewing of this epic movie while having eaten an entire box of marshmallow PEEPS. It is insane. And bad for my teeth.

Totally out of context, my daughter and I have an Easter ritual, wherein we put marshmallow PEEPS in the microwave and watch them explode. We think it's hilarious, but the wife? Not so much.
