The thing I hated about the Jackson Gollum is that he looked like a cartoon. WTF. Everybody knows he is a Hobbit who has really let himself go, so why does he look nothing like the actor Hobbits? He had those ridiculous big saucer pan eyes, and body proportions completely different than Frodo, Sam, and whoever. Yeah, he's supposed to be creepy and pale and super-skinny and whatnot, but Jackson Gollum looked like a completely different kind of creature. And he was about as believable as Roger Rabbit. Horrible.
The only explanation I can come up with is the ring twisted him mentally and physically. Obviously his eyes are simply too big for a hobbit. The cartoons were interesting in how they made him almost an amphibian in The Hobbit but more like a hobbit in the LOTR cartoons.
