 At the birthday party, when Bilbo is naming various hobbit families,  he says "Proudfoots" and a hobbit calls back "Proudfeet", with his  large feet in the foreground. The shot was deliberately framed to  imitate the shot used in _Lord of the Rings, The (1978)_ (qv), as an  homage to the film that introduced Peter Jackson (I) (qv) to  Tolkiens works.
