I don't know if this was obvious to everyone else, but I just realised that one of the reasons why the Hobbit is so effective as a children's book is that while Bilbo is an adult, the skills that make him a hero are all those of a child.
By human standards he's child-sized, which makes him unobtrusive and light on his feet. He can slip by unnoticed where bigger people can't.
He's good at playing games, and even cheats (successfully!) in a way that - let's face it - is not so different to how children try to cheat at games. He's polite in a way that's fully comprehensible to children (rather than, say, being able to perform courtly manners). He's quick-witted, but the trick of keeping the trolls talking is also one that would be achievable for a child.
He doesn't have magic powers, he's not a great fighter, and he's not some kind of Chosen One. There's not much that he does that couldn't be done by a ten-year-old, but the story shows just how valuable all those skills and traits are. It's very empowering.

- Olá, gostaria de comprar um colete a prova de balas.
- Mas você é jovem demais, não acha perigoso ter um colete a prova de balas? Aqui, melhor você usar esse casaco.
- Mas é que o problema é tiro, aí é melhor o colete a prova de balas.
- Só que você é tão jovem e se você se arrepender de usar o colete?
- Aí eu tiro o colete.
- Não sei, pq você não tenta não levar tiro?
- Eu não pretendo levar tiro, mas caso eu leve quero tá de colete. De vez em quando passo por um tiroteio.
- Você é muito jovem, comprar um colete é uma atitude muito importante.
- Levar um tiro também parece bem importante.
- Quando você for mais velho se você ainda quiser o colete te vendo, ok?
- E SE EU LEVAR UM TIRO ATÉ LÁ?
- Aí você foi descuidado e vai sofrer as consequências, já é um adulto tem que ser responsável.
Basicamente esse é o diálogo tentando marcar uma cirurgia anticoncepcional.

i don't know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i'm coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.

Que o Sonic é brasileiro todo mundo sabe, o que é pouco discutido é que ele, infelizmente, é gaúcho.
