The Fellowship at Pooh Corner

This is something that springs to mind occasionally, that sprang from a silly conversation with a silly person, shortly after the Fellowship EE came out (yes, this is THAT OLD). We were squeeing amongst ourselves over the meet-the-cast sort of segments, particularly anything that had to do with Viggo and Sean Bean, because, well, you know, they're Aragorn and Boromir and all.
So somehow the conversation veered into the direction of me commenting that Viggo is OBVIOUSLY Tigger, what with the pouncing on (or rugby-tackling) Sean Bean.
V-I-double-guh-Oh! That spells VIGGO!
So --
Sean Bean = Winnie-the-Pooh
Viggo Mortensen = Tigger
Therefore --
Orlando Bloom = Piglet
Sean Astin = Kanga
Elijah Wood = Roo
Dominic Monaghan = Rabbit
Billy Boyd = Owl
John Rhys-Davies = Eeyore
Ian McKellen = The Narrator
And, of course --
Peter Jackson = Christopher Robin.

Date: 2004-04-26 09:49 pm (UTC)Have you read "The Tao of Pooh"? One of my favourite books. And of course the sequel, "The Te of Piglet". *g*
"While Eeyore frets... and Piglet hesitates... and Rabbit calculates... and Owl pontificates... Pooh just is." :-)

Um. *waves* Hi, I saw you on

Date: 2004-04-27 01:23 am (UTC)And hi! Yay new people *g* I'm really actually remarkably boring, but I don't mind being friended. Shall friend back. :) (Shall also have an M&C vid or two in the works over the next several weeks, in case you're at all interested...)

Date: 2004-04-27 06:44 am (UTC)Ooh yes, very much so :) I only very very recently discoverd M&C - a friend of mine told me about it and it sounded so good that I finally gave in and got the DVD, and watched it last Friday. Which I shouldn't have because in about 7 hours I have exams and actually, the thing I wanted to think about most was M&C (or Jack/Stephen). Oh well. As soon as it's over, I can also finally read the book. So, yeah, I'm definitely interested.

Date: 2004-04-26 11:44 pm (UTC)Oh - that is perfect! The casting is dead on for the Hobbitses, not sure Aragorn isn't a tad too introspective for Tigger - I might sort of mentally reverse those roles for V&S - but it's funny, very funny!:)
And another thing - Nelly Furtado - as my musical adviser [having introduced me to Sarah M] I was planning on buying the Folklore CD - worth it?

Does the UK have any music stores with listening booths or anything like that so you could sample it? Might be the best thing you can do!
