The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
Okay, you've seen it...but it never gets old. I read once that George Lucas started a corporate screening of Star Wars (in some plush L.A. 20th Century Fox screening room with couches and ashtrays) by screening Chuck Jones' "Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century" (a Daffy/Porky sci-fi cartoon) as the teaser, "just to break the ice." How great would it be if Peter Jackson put this at the beginning of the 3D/IMAX The Hobbit?

Somewhere in the thousands of posts on this blog this has appeared before, but it's always hysterical.
I love that the dancers are all wearing slip on Vulcan ears. What a great thing to post on a Friday.
Aren't they wearing slip-on hobbit ears? (Remember this was Nimoy's "I am not Spock" period.)
What's the difference between Vulcan and Hobbit slip ons?
The difference isn't physical, it's conceptual. They're not wearing those ears because it's Leonard Nimoy who plays Spock; they're wearing those ears because they're singing about a hobbit. (Not to put too fine a point on it)
Either way they look mighty silly.
