"The Hobbit" hits theaters this Friday and besides all the hobbits, orcs, elves, humans, dragons and Gollums, there's also a group of sturdy folk who form the backbone of the movie: Dwarves.
This isn't the first time dwarves have been portrayed in film, of course — and it's not the first time that little people have been played on screen by regular-sized folks, either. But "The Hobbit," with its band of stout and heroic dwarven heroes, is undoubtedly one of the most prominent portrayals of little people in Hollywood's long and checkered history.
So that got us thinking: Where is "The Hobbit" going to end up ranking on the scale of most positive to most demeaning portrayals of little people in film? To help you decide that for yourself, here's a quick continuum of nine prominent movies featuring little people, ranked from most positive to most demeaning.

Right, straight into the synopsis for Midgets vs. Mascots, as I’m pretty sure it’ll be the thing that either makes you overstep the Read More jump or turn away at this earliest of opportunities (and trust me, I won’t judge). A dead midget porn star dies, leaving his inheritance to the winning team of a Midgets and Mascots contest, with the teams coached by his son and surviving wife. And it’s supposed to be real- since this is a so-called shockumentary.
Holy. Shit.
Anyway, this atrocity, which has been wrongfully likened to Jackass elsewhere (that show is like fucking Mastermind compared to this), is out now on DVD and Blu-ray.
Hang on, this is a comedy?! There are no laughs to speak of, and the over-riding feeling is one of tragedy, and not mirth. The “film-makers” have quite obviously set an agenda to shock as much as possible,...

Midgets Vs. Mascots
Stars: Gary Coleman, Jason Mewes, Jordan Prentice, Rick Howland, Scottie Pippen, Ron Jeremy | Written by Kevin Andounian | Directed by Ron Carlson
After the death of midget spokesperson Big Red (Rick Howland), his heirs, a regular sized son and gold-digging wife, are told that in order to receive their inheritance they must gather together five midgets – including American Pie’s Jordan Prentice, Gary Coleman (playing a version of himself) and apparently the little person that played Alf in the 80?s sitcom – and five mascots to battle through 30 ridiculous competitions, with a prize fund of a million dollars for the competitors.
In the press release for Midgets vs. Mascots, the film is billed as a shockumentary in the style of Borat meets Jackass – which for once is actually a perfect description. Taking the premise of a semi-scripted movie ala Borat, the film then throws in the same type of offensive Ott language,...

Why were people fighting over Gary Coleman's will? I thought he had no money. —Tracie, Key West, via the inbox Gary Coleman didn't exactly have a Michael Jackson-like reputation in the assets department. Coleman was better known as that former megastar who filed for bankruptcy in 1999 and who, as late as three years ago, was shilling for a loan company. That endorsement deal came after a cash-strapped Coleman phoned Cash Call seeking a loan. So where's the value in Coleman's estate, you ask? I've got a pretty good idea: First, for the record, Coleman had been working off and on in the years up to his death. For one, he appeared in that Midgets vs. Mascots...

Former child star Gary Coleman has died at the age of 42 after suffering a serious brain haemorrhage earlier this week (ends28May10).
The Diff'rent Strokes star, who suffered from a congenital kidney disease, was admitted to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center on Wednesday following a fall at his home.
He was fully conscious after the accident but his condition gradually worsened. On Thursday his manager, John Alcantar, revealed he was "unconscious and on life support".
Coleman's wife Shannon decided to take him off life support early on Friday and he died at around 12.05pm (local time) from an intracranial haemorrhage.
A statement released by his rep reads: "Thanks to everyone for their well wishing and support during this tragic time. Now that Gary has passed, we know he will be missed because of all the love and support shown in the past couple of days.
"Gary is now at peace and his memory will be kept in the hearts of those who were entertained by him throughout the years."
Coleman, the adopted son of nurse Edmonia Sue and her partner W.G. Coleman, began his TV career in the early 1970s with small parts in The Jeffersons and Good Times before landing his breakthrough role as Arnold Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes in 1978.
He starred for eight years alongside his TV brother Todd Bridges, who played Willis Jackson, as two African-American boys adopted by wealthy Caucasian widower Phillip Drummond (Conrad Bain).
Coleman fast became the show's most popular star, known for his character's catchphrase, "What'choo talkin' 'bout Willis?" and eventually earned $100,000 (£66,670) per episode.
He went on to score his own animated series, The Gary Coleman Show, and voiced his character for a year before it was axed in 1983.
He later won guest roles in a variety of small screen projects, including a cameo as Jackson in a 1996 episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, as well as appearances in TV sitcoms My Wife and Kids and Married... with Children, and a voiceover part in The Simpsons.
Coleman also starred in a number of made-for-tv movies including The Kid with the Broken Halo (1982), Playing with Fire (1985), Fox Hunt (1996) and 2003's A Christmas Carol.
His last film role was in 2009's Midgets vs. Mascots.
Despite his many TV and film appearances, Coleman struggled financially and he successfully sued his parents and former manager in 1989 for misappropriating his $3.8 million (£2.53 million) trust fund. In 1993, he was awarded $1.28 million (£853,340).
However, he filed for bankruptcy in 1999, citing the early mismanagement of his trust for his money problems.
Coleman was no stranger to the law and was arrested on a few occasions for assault and disorderly conduct.
His most recent arrest occurred in January when he was suspected of domestic violence following an alleged altercation with his wife Shannon Price, who he wed in 2007. He was handed a fine in February and ordered to attend domestic violence classes in exchange for avoiding jail.
The actor's career was also overshadowed by his many health problems, after undergoing two kidney transplants in 1973 and 1984, which required frequent dialysis. He had heart surgery last year and spent the past few months in and out of hospital suffering from seizures, which saw him collapse during a round of telephone interviews in January.
Coleman was hospitalised again in February after another apparent seizure while on the set of U.S. TV news programme The Insider.
He is survived by his wife Price, who he reunited with in April after a few months' estrangement. The couple had no kids.

I hate to be the one to provide a sad start to your weekend folks, but we have just learned that Gary Coleman has passed away today at the age of 42. There were reports that he had suffered a serious injury in Utah earlier this week, and had been rushed to the hospital. It turns out that he had experienced a brain hemorrhage and fell into critical condition. Coleman's wife Shannon had to make the difficult decision to take him off life support early this morning. Gary Coleman will always be remembered as the star of the '80s TV show Diff'rent Strokes and his catch phrase, "What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" He struggled for years to drop the baggage that comes from being known as a child star, and was most recently seen on screen in An American Carol and the documentary Midgets Vs. Mascots. I'm guessing these are not...

Gary Coleman has died at age 42. According to Radar, Coleman had been hospitalized in Utah since Wednesday, May 26th, after suffering what his family has been calling "a serious medical problem."

Gary Coleman's career in the public eye introduced nearly as many tangled issues as his "Diff'rent Strokes" character Arnold Jackson grappled with amid laughs. The 42-year-old actor died due to an intracranial hemorrhage Friday (May 28) after being taken off life support at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, and he left behind one of television's most iconic characters, as well as an adult life that reflected the problems he carried away from his experiences as a child actor.
Coleman's recent appearances in works like the documentary "Midgets vs. Mascots" and the TV show "Divorce Court" demonstrated the personal issues he dealt with in the shadow of a young role that defined him for many and the public displays of anger he became known for later on in life.

Gary Coleman is urging fans to boycott his latest movie Midgets Vs. Mascots after accusing producers of using an "ugly" body double in his full-frontal scene.
The diminutive actor was furious after learning a scene in the 2009 comedy appeared to show him revealing all - and now he's threatening to sue the studio to prevent further DVD sales.
Coleman alleges he never agreed for his private parts to be revealed in the final cut - and insists the actor who stands in for him doesn't do him justice.
He tells EOnline.com, "I wanted all my fans to protest my penis being in the movie, because I didn't want that. It's a body double, I believe, because I certainly was not gonna do this. And I heard that the body double is ugly, and is unattractive, and does not make me look good."
The former Diff'rent Strokes star has had a rocky start to 2010 - he was hospitalised on Wednesday after suffering a seizure while conducting an interview on the phone.

Gary Coleman blames his demeaning new movie role as a 'midget' porn-mogul for putting a strain on his marriage, and he's on the hunt for the agent who advised him to take the part.
The pint-sized actor's new film Midgets vs. Mascots is scheduled to premiere at New York's Tribeca Film Festival this month April.
Coleman stars as a miniature adult film mogul in the project but insists he only took the part to cope with mounting expenses during the worldwide credit crunch.
The actor and wife Shannon Price appeared on U.S. TV show Divorce Court last April to air their differences with intent to save their marriage.
In a rant posted on video sharing website YouTube.com, Coleman blames the film for causing strain in their relationship. And he's issued a violent warning to the agent who helped him land the part.
Coleman says, "It was worse than any film school project. I shouldn't be in this movie in the first place, but the mortgage keeps coming. This movie almost cost me my relationship with my wife. It has caused me grief... I'm going to bash my fists right in my agent's face."
Coleman and Price married in August 2007 after a five-month courtship.
