More Interesting Test Poll Results

The Lord of the Rings one wasn't that surprising. Fellowship's 6 votes barely passed King's 5. Two Towers only got 2 and Bakshi only got 1 vote.

More surprising is the Hobbit one. First of all, it got three more total votes than the LotR one! Moreover, Unexpected Journey (my personal favorite) had a runaway 9 votes. The classic Rankin-Bass animation was second with 5. Desolation got 2, and Battle got 1.

Stay Tuned for an overdue announcement....
