When adapting Tolkien, I think it helps a lot to have a manual written by Tolkien himself.
> It was subsequent interpretations, like Disney's first version, that portrayed the fish as a whale.
Don't let me even start on that.
I believe the reasoning at the time was that a whale was already as big as a five story building.
Ironically today it would be unacceptable to use a whale with shark teeths [1] as a human eating monster-fish.
Animal rights activists would complain a lot most of all because wales are not even fish!!
