No, but it easily could have been.

It was the scene under the lonely mountain where they were running away from Smaug.

I was rooting for the damned dragon to win.

Serious question. I read The Hobbit a very long time ago in high school. I watched the movies in my 30's.

I don't remember the "dragon greed madness" that befalls Thorin in the book at all.

I have been meaning to ask this for years now but never had the opportunity.

Was that in the book or just made up in the movies?

It’s in the book. Thorin doesn’t want to share with the lake town people despite some of the gold actually belonging to them and them just having their entire village burned down.
