Dere som klager på at filmen er barnslig, så er den det fordi Hobbitene er barnefortellinger.

Siterer Peter Jackson: "The Hobbit is very much a children's book and The Lord of the Rings is something else; it's not really aimed at children at all. I realized the characters of the dwarves are the difference. Their energy and disdain of anything politically correct brings a new kind of spirit to it. And that's why I thought, OK, this could be fun!"
