This is an amazing idea. I will say though, I've been so disappointed with shows/films as of late that finding a worthy watch is a rarity, even when they are series based on things I enjoy. If this was to happen, I'd hope it would take a good 10 years at least before the idea even got pitched though, as maybe thing would have gotten better for the film industry by then.

I want a sketch/variety show about the Shire. One recurring sketch is just young Hobbits planning raids on Farmer Maggot's mushrooms. Another is storytime with Bilbo where he recounts old Elvish tales. A sketch called Shire Sheriffs that's set up like Cops but highlights how uninteresting Shire "police" work is. Etc.

I really think Tolkien's description of the shire is peaceful and wholesome..there is a part in "a long expected party" (or perhaps Shadow of the past) where Gandalf is seated at bag end by a window and the richness of the description of the flowers to the colour of the sky and sun and how the greenery enteres through the round window etc is my favourite. Interesting how the Hobbits change slightley within the different aerias of the shire.

@TheBrokenSword 2 жыл бұрын

To be fair, the Shire is very large! I don't know if you're from the UK or not, but here, that same 40 leagues width of the Shire could take you from Brecon in the valleys of Wales to Birmingham in England, and they are very different in both appearance and the people you meet from them!

@Aurora-qn2dx 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheBrokenSword I think I just like the way Tolkien describes nature within lotr in general..no other writer does it better. Ok, when reading the books you notice the vastness of the shire ..with the films not so much and tend to forget long it took Frodo to reach Bree.thanks for explaining how big the shire acually is. Im not from UK but where I am from it is the same as in changing in looks/vegetation and dialects even within same region..thats why I liked how Tolkien encorporated that detail and charactaristic within his works.

@perryphillip6306 2 жыл бұрын

I heard in various videos that The Shire is about 20,000 square miles ... also heard it's about 150 miles by 100 miles or 15,000 square miles. While not HUGE by today's standards, when legs (hobbit or pony) are your only means of transportation, I can see The Shire being HUGE and with different Families/regions. Also Buckland was "outside of The Shire" until King Aragorn made it part of The Shire early in his reign.

@InhabitantOfOddworld 6 ай бұрын

@@perryphillip6306 Tolkien essentially based The Shire on England around Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire. The Three Farthing Stone near Hobbiton is based on the real Four Shire Stone that marks the historic borders of those four same counties. The Shire is said to be around 40 leagues from East to West, roughly from the Far Downs to the Brandywine Bridge. A league is approximately 3 miles, so around 120 miles give or take. North to South is similar, possibly 50 leagues or 150 miles. Travelling by foot would probably be 20 miles/day or so, more by horse/pony, so it's a reasonably formidable distance and more than might be expected by anyone only watching the Jackson movies. Travelling from Michel Delving to Buckland could easily be 2-3 days travel depending on transport and weather conditions.

That means the Shire is 120 miles (193 kms) east to west, and, 150 miles (241 kms) north to south. And, it is 18,000 square miles (46,600 square kilometres) in area! 🤯 Wow!!

@maylabrown4584 2 жыл бұрын

I was a little disappointed to find out how many Hobbits were greedy for Bilbo's stuff or judgemental they were in reaction to Bilbo and Frodo's longevity. That said, The Hobbits are a beautiful group of people that are underrated in Middle-Earth.

@DannyJane. 2 жыл бұрын

I was glad that Tolkien didn't make them too perfect. Human places similar to the Shire, that are mostly cut off from the rest of the world, do tend to become rather insular, judgmental, and intolerant of those who don't quite fit the acceptable mold. It's not that they are bad people, only that lack of outside stimulation can narrow viewpoints.

@richerDiLefto Жыл бұрын

Yes. Smaller, more isolated groups tend to be more suspicious of people with connections with the outside world, and a bit gossipy among themselves. Considering how long the hobbits were able to keep peace and similar lifestyles across so many years, I’m sure there had to be some sort of societal pressure to keep each other the same, along with natural hobbit disinterest in matters outside their land and lives.

I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, within the mid-valley, there is a county called Polk, that is the closest thing to The Shire I can find. A place that has changed very little in 100 years. Falls City is a hidden village that remains me of Hobbiton. We in the valley love our craft beers, or local wines, good simple food, and of course, pipe-weed.😊

They live to be slightly older than men (hence why it being strange that Bilbo has his life extended at least to 111th years in the fellowship). Hobbits are also descended of men, and that is why melkor and sauron were ignorant of them, because they weren't made in the music of the ainur, they evolved from men.
