All the joy and laughter from Frodo in that first part of the movie is absolutely heartbreaking to me considering the changes that are in store for the character. I am so glad they took the time to give us that in the movie.

I also liked the way Gandalf seemed almost to have forgotten how to laugh in the time he'd been away. His joy just in being in The Shire and enjoying his time with the hobbits brought out the delightfulness of the hobbits but also how greatly Gandalf is worn down by his responsibilities, and struggles and worries in standing against the evils that are beyond the borders of The Shire. It's all very touching, the contrast between the realities of the outside world and the delightfulness of the limited world of the hobbits.

I love that one little moment in the movie when Gandalf first arrives and all the children run to meet him.....he seems to ignore them at first and they are all disappointed....then shortly after his wagon passes by, he lets loose with a few fireworks, to the delight of the little ones.

the limited world of the hobbits....

......sigh..........doesn't sound all that bad to me.............

.........wish I could book a vacation in the Shire...........
