You know what’s crazy and cool? Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers is in a universe where movie and cartoon characters co-exist with real humans, which means that this interview actually happened in that universe. I can only imagine how much cleaning up they had to do after the interview was over. Also leaves me wondering what Smaug’s doing after he’s done with the Hobbit movies. In my head cannon, he attends a Peter Jackson panel at Fan-Con hosted by Peter Jackson himself, with 2005 King Kong, a Vastatosaurus Rex, Gollum, Tintin, and the aliens from District 9 also attending. Smaug, Kong, and the V. Rex attend via live-streaming since they’re too big to actually be there.

[@andrewbogard2411]

Comedy Central and the Colbert Show owners kept having all the videos of this taken down, earlier on. Thank you SO much for sticking in there and getting it back up on here. It deserves to be available (now that those greedy Bs apparently have other things to worry about than taking these copies of the broadcast down on here). This is too good to not be archived here and available to everyone. Good work on getting it reposted!

[@lordmaurondominator1748]

According to Tolkien, there are only two dragons, Smaug and that dragon from Bewulf. And Smaug saying that the dragons from Game of Thrones and Toothless are not real dragons because they are tame and can live with humans sounds exactly like Tolkien said in an interview once. That real dragons are devastating, greedy, cunning, insidious, murderous and bloodthirsty for mass murder.

Here's a man from the future: last week we got in House of the Dragon a few shots of Vhagar, a she-dragon which happens to be even larger than Smaug. And, of course, we all know Balerion was even larger than Vhagar. So much for "whipped-rat lizards", Smaug's only advantage to the Targaryen dragon is his sheer intelligence.

I think this version of smaug is quite a bit smaller then the movie version so he would 'fit' within the confines of the studio, the movie version is close to the size of a two story building if not bigger if I remember right.

Speaking about the dragons in Game of Thrones, think about their size, they're bigger than Smaug. Smaug must about 35 foot long, the dragons you see on Game of Thrones are actually 59 foot long, 114 foot long or 122 foot long

[@luciamn-]

A quick google search puts Smaug(in the movie) at 130 meters or around 420 ft(ha ha funny number, I know). This would make him much larger than drogon and his siblings. If you have a different source lmk
