The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread

Ha, not exactly an innocent children’s movie for little ones to watch. Even though it’s all about rabbits, the story has some very dark elements and themes throughout it.
I read the book at some point. I was probably under 13. I can't even remember if I finished it, as it didn't leave much of an impression on me.
 
I watched this too. Man what were my parents doing?
If you've not read his books, particularly Shardik, I think you'll find others a bit 'dark.' Definitely allegorical.
I have recently added The Plague Dogs and Traveler to my collection as well at the recommendation of a member, but haven't read them yet.
Traveler is a story of the civil war and Robert E. Lee told by (from the perspective of) Robert E. Lee's horse apparently. Sounds like a 'romp' - but we'll see. Adams does not tend toward 'romps' for the most part - as far as I know.

Yes, you just explained the joke to everyone. 😂

For the record, I read that novel before/around 10 years of age and saw the movie, too. 🤸‍♀️
