That images thing is why I'm always glad to have read the books first. Works with Harry Potter too--only in some select cases do the film images take over my mental images, usually when the casting is especially right (for example, Robbie Coltrane in the role is so much like my mental Hagrid as to make no difference).
Among the many, many reasons I'm grateful to Peter Jackson is for helping to drive the Rankin-Bass animated images out of my head for good. I can even watch the thing now for giggles and it won't stick (the songs, alas, are another matter).
