    Is it just me, or does gandalf’s body look like a ball of fluff in a coat?

    You’re right, Tnviel7. He’s just a great big cottonball with a sword! Rather symbolic, don’t you think?

    Now you see, this annoys me. It was this very cover that made me watch that terrible film!

    That’s what Gandalf would’ve looked like if he took the Ring. Luckily he didn’t.

    Why does Gandalf have energy coming out of his finger? It looks kind of like Adam’s from “The Creation of Man”

    Gandalf : “All shall love me and despair!” It’s Gandalf having his ‘movie Galadriel’ moments.

    This resembles NOTHING from the actual film. False advertising!

    I think bakshi really wanted to say sorry for making the hobbits so tall… To make up for it he gave us THIS.
