* AluminumChristmasTrees: "Second Breakfast" is a real thing in some European cultures, including England, which The Shire is based on. In real life, second breakfast is more of a mid-morning snack than a full meal (though given Hobbit culture, for them it probably ''is'' [[BigEater a full meal]]). "Elevenses" is real too, again more of a snack.

* MythPrologue: The film opens with the story of how the rings of power were forged (effectively introducing the races of Middle Earth in the process), how Sauron used the One Ring of Power to take over Middle Earth, how Isildur failed to destroy the ring once Sauron was defeated, and how millennia would pass before it was fished out of the water once again. Galadriel, narrating, mourns that there are so few still alive who were there to witness it. This is a deviation from the book, which opened on Bilbo's birthday in the Shire, and makes the mythic scope of the film more immediately obvious to audiences.

The argument goes back and forth, things get ''very'' heated, and Frodo realizes The Ring is deliberately stirring up passions to get everyone fighting. Frodo then quietly announces that he'll do it, but he doesn't know the way to Mount Doom. Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn all stand up and pledge to help him. Sam, Merry, and Pippin burst out of hiding and announce they're going along as well.

* LastDayOfNormalcy: Bilbo's birthday party introduces us to all the characters of Hobbiton prior to their being thrust into their adventure, from gentle and thoughtful Frodo to loyal and simple Samwise, to the mischeivious pair of Merry and Pippin (their role changed somewhat from the books, where they were more savvy to Bilbo's magic ring). This is a downplayed example, though, as while it does serve the purpose of showing the tranquility of Hobbiton, it isn't until Gandalf returns with confirmation of the nature of Bilbo's ring that Frodo is thrust out the door on an adventure.

However, while the Fellowship is preparing to leave Rivendell, he happens to catch sight of the Ring on Frodo - and suddenly ''lunges'' wildly at him, sporting sharp teeth and enormous, frenzied-looking eyes. Bilbo demonstrates no shapeshifting at any other point in the story, so this is just an indication that the Ring still has its hooks in him and could one day drag him down to the same level as [[AddledAddict Gollum]].
