Well, what's everyone think? Personally, like everything
else about this movie epic, I think it's just as I pictured.

You've got the ping list, and I don't know how to use one. What do YOU think? This does APPEAR to be solid info, but you know how the 'net can be. I haven't forgotten my months-old screwup with Gollum. I hope this is my redemption.

Of all the characters in LOTR, Treebeard is one that I had trouble picturing. But I think that toy is what he should look like. Yeah everything is amazingly like I thought it might be. They did a great job of bringing the book to life.

TTT Spoiler alert! 
hehehehehe - I can ping the Hobbit Hole Regulars and the Two Towers Spoiler lists, yes! (I don't use the big Green Dragon list for anything but that) Ecurbh will ping his big list when he comes around!
We talked about this toy lately, and though I don't love it yet, I think it is because it is hard for me to accept it as real without the size and the texture of Treebeard as we will see him on screen. Others agree with you!
I have the other past images of Treebeard handy from last weeks Green Dragon discussion, so I shall post them too in a minute, for more conversation fodder!

This magnificent movie trilogy is a perfect example of what can happen when a filmmaker(in this case, Peter Jackson)
truly loves and RESPECTS his source material. He's literally getting everything right!
Contrast this with how the Armani-suited blow-dried imbeciles who run the Hollywood machine usually do buisiness. The Sum of All Fears, Queen of the Damned, Godzilla, all of these are the result of the slapdash, sell-toys-be-PC-screw-the-fans attitude that pervades the American film capitol

Here is an excerpt from my post last week in the
Green Dragon.... links to Treebeard pictures...
Treebeard is one of those characters that has been drawn many times, never fitting the image that is in my mind… I searched and considered pictures and paintings of him to include in this post, and there are many versions, from the Brothers Hildebrandt, whose Treebeard I grew up with on my wall, to John Howe, to Alan Lee, to silly things! Do a Google-Image search on Treebeard or Fangorn for a fraction of the wacky images that are out there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the brief shot of Treebeard we saw in the Two Towers preview in the theaters in March. In the picture below we have Pippin of course, clinging to what appears to be a tree. Visible, but hard to see until it blinks, is a hint at what Treebeard will look like, for the tree that Pippin is clinging to has eyes, and our hobbit friend appears to be holding him by the nose. I apologize that it is hard to see… I have found no bigger images to choose from that will post!

Did you self-abuse again 2J?
To: 2Jedismom
Ah Ha! Thanks Admin Moderator! Are you causing trouble again? :)
To: HairOfTheDog
LOL! Yes! I thought the picture hadn't been posted because it was too big...so I thoughtfully posted a smaller one, only to read that Long Cut was being courteous to those that might not want to see a spoiler! I had the Moderator remove it!
To: 2Jedismom; Long Cut
Hehehe - I figured....
Well, It seems that those who truly don't want to see should not click on a thread named "A Possible Look At TREEBEARD???" But you are right, I suppose, Not posting it does I guess give them an opportunity for buyer's remorse.
To: Long Cut
It seems like Al Gore would be a natural for this role.

I haven't seen those, but Islands in the Stream with George C. Scott really made me mad. I was really looking forward to it, but about all that seemed similar to Hemingway's book was the title. Imagine filming a Bimini setting in Hawaii! It was supposed to take place on a tiny flat "coral" Bahamian island about 50 yards wide with white sand, not a huge island with mountains and yellow dirt and South Sea jungles.
Imagine taking a Hemingway manuscript and then not paying any attention to it.

This Treebeard would only inspire dogs to raise their hind legs.

The claws and thick ankles made me think of Hillary.
J/K. It looks cool! I can't wait to see the movie.
