From Freagol:
I’ve bought 2 boxes of “Crunch” cereals Wednesday in Auchan Luxemburg (but it is french packaging so I suppose it will be available soon in France too). They features a bonus : 2 different CD-rom about the film, including letterheads, screensavers, wallpapers… 1 CD for one point (i.e. one box), 2 for 2 points (i.e. for 2 boxes). I’ll send scans of the box as soon as possible.

It seems that Karen’s post prompted a flood of mail, some requesting to know more, some packed-full of information. For those who are wondering what exactly the song is, just read on!
Tim F:
Hey, Strider. Tell Karen that I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that! “This is my Father’s World” is the hymn, and I REALLY have to work hard NOT to think about it when I’m listening to the soundtrack…
Red Giant:
Regarding the tune Karen posted about which sounds familiar, the song is This is “My Father’s World”, based on “Terra Beata” (Blessed Earth), a traditional English melody, arranged by Franklin L. Sheppard in his Alleluia, 1915, A MIDI version will start playing when you hit this link. The very first few seconds will give it away.

Blynk writes: They just had a commercial on Cartoon Network for the action figures featuring Frodo, Legolas, Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Boromir, Lurtz, the Witch-King, and the Cave Troll. Needless to say I got a laugh out of it.
