Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse


* DoesNotLikeShoes: Hobbits don't usually wear shoes since the tops of their feet grow curly hair and the soles are thick as well. When they do wear shoes, Dwarf boots are good enough.

* {{Arcadia}}: Subverted in that it is no more a utopian paradise than any other nice place to live. While the Shire does have the idyllic, rural and unspoiled look of the typical Arcadia, the Hobbits are portrayed as very parochial, somewhat small-minded, and generally uncaring of what goes on outside the Shire.

* {{Arcadia}}: Subverted The Hobbits live amongst gently rolling hills in that it is no more a utopian paradise than any other nice place to live. While small villages filled with beautiful cottage-gardens, evoking the Shire does have the idyllic, rural and unspoiled look of the typical Arcadia, the traditional IdyllicEnglishVillage. Due to their cosseted existence, Hobbits are portrayed as very parochial, somewhat small-minded, and generally uncaring of what goes on outside the Shire.

* AnimalsNotToScale: Actually an aversion. At first, Jackson and his production team thought they'd have to design larger than real life rabbits, designing them from scratch so they'd have to spend extra time figuring out their musculature and movement. There was also some slight worry that rabbits large enough to pull the sled would seem a bit too fantastic (granted, in a movie with a dragon in it). Then they did some research and found out that the largest rabbit breed, the [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/the-hobbit-real-giant-rabbits-peter-jackson Flemish Giant rabbit]], [[RealityIsUnrealistic actually does grow]] as big as sled-dogs. So Radagast's rabbits actually are based on real-life animals.
