Ah... this really sucks... really hits home the saying that getting old isn't for the weak.

Love watching those during the holidays.

He also worked on The Hobbit...
Casting John Huston as Gandalf was excellent.
While that cartoon wasn't quite faithful to the book....
It is a Hell of a lot better than any of the Hobbit / LOTR trash by Peter Jackson.
Jackson is a minion of Sauron....

On Peter Jackson and his LOTR crap, I whole heartily agree.
