It seems that Tolkien may have liked the animation ("I recognize [Disney's] talent, but it has always seemed to me hopelessly corrupted."), just not the treatment of fairy tales in the story. It's perfectly reasonable to appreciate Disney & Co's contribution to animation and visual story-telling without respecting the underlying stories.
