Yes, it's based on the Rankin-Bass hobbit :)

So you didn't like the way they did Starship Troopers? I thought they did a good job on it, but then, I saw it before I read the book.

Wow, no, but I was raised on Heinlein. If they're going to turn the Great One's books into movies, they'd better get it right.

Making ST into a movie was a mistake in the first place. It's not about action, it's about the philosophy. For that reason, Have Spacesuit is a better choice to make a movie from (though the wonderful bit in the beginning about education, which inspired me when I was ten, will probably not get translated to screen well at all). Kip and Peewee were some of the many friends I found in Heinlein, when I was a weird little girl just starting SF...
