I'd say Tolkien is a bit inconsistent in how he portrays elves. In The Hobbit, they are more like frolicking, dancing and singing pixies and in LotR they are more ethereal and aloof like fey.
Jackson chose to stick to the fey aspect.
Aren't the elves from The Hobbit also a different group? It could just be that they are frolicking weirdos compared to Elrond's and Galadriel's elves.
It's literally Elrond in The Hobbit as far as I recall.
I think they're referring to the Wood Elves they encounter on their way through Mirkwood.
Well, Elrond was there in the beginning. Bilbo and the dwarves passed through Rivendel.
The playful, drunk elves of the Hobbit were wood elves; the stuffy ones were high elves
I think PJ made them a bit too up themselves
(Too stuck up, too snooty, too like the ideal British noble)
