Bored of the Rings question

I've been thinking for years now, what a shame it was that Ralph Bakshi tried to make a serious adaptation of "Lord of the Rings," when he was BORN to adapt "Bored of the Rings." The book's cartoony, yet R-rated humor would be right up his alley, and his cheap-looking, oldschool style would fit perfectly with the 1960s themes.

But I could also see this being made by a more modern/mainstream cartoonist, like the creators of "The Amazing World of Gumball." I feel like if they made a "Bored of the Rings" movie, the characters should be animated (in a very toony style), but some of the backgrounds and monsters they meet could be photo-realism, or some other style, a la "Monty Python" or "Spongebob."

Thoughts?
