Hobbits are a lot like Scots. It's all about nature and enjoying their land, which is a very Scottish thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think what 'The Hobbit' and Middle-earth deal in are quite universal and timeless themes of honour and love and friendship... so they're things that do resonate with people.
For me, 'The Hobbit' is an object lesson in storytelling, both in terms of characterization and story structure. It is an exemplar of storytelling in that regard.
The whole atmosphere of the book, the tone of 'The Hobbit,' is of a kid's adventure story, told in the first person by Tolkien, who is introducing young people to the notion of Middle-earth. A lot of it is very light-hearted.
The producers of 'The Hobbit' take the welfare of all animals very seriously and have always pursued the highest standard of care for animals in their charge.
I think of the 'Hobbit' films as being films for the family.
There's a lot of fantasy about what Scotland is, and the shortbread tins and that sort of thing.
In 'The Hobbit,' there were British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand actors, and Peter Jackson was adamant that we would all sound like we were from Britain somewhere.
I'm as Scottish as they come.
The Scottish Highlands are incredible. There seems to be magic and poetry everywhere.
The spirit of the four hobbits in 'Lord of the Rings,' I suppose I miss that.
