Thanks! With Frodo and the unnecessary Dale/Erebor prologue gone, old Bilbo's intro fits in very nicely. It also ties in Tolkien's work and the LOTR films with one scene. Plus it's a great bookend for how Battle of Five Armies concluded, which was one of the few things that worked for that film.

Let me know what you think of the other clips. If you compare "Tolkieneditor's" version of the barrel chase, you'll see he cut out the battle at the gate but still left the CGI acrobatics with Bombur intact- a puzzling decision.
