He's not being irrational. Disney sort of ruins everything it touches.

Only reason we like a lot of their stuff is because we're ignorant of most of the source material. >_>

He was ahead of his time really. We've seen what Disney does. Do you really wish we would have gotten a sterilized and kiddy version of LOTR?

Imagine the fellowship marching to Mordor while singing a nice little song. Hell there'd be more songs than in the books.

J.R.R Tolkien was way ahead of his time. What must be understood about him was that Tolkien was an Oxford academic, and he studied Germanic folklore, myth, literature etc. What he saw with Disney films was the things he studied being completely corrupted, distorted and shallow.
