This is what Tolkien did not want to happen.

I'm sure this falls under his Anti-Disney ideology.

There was an article in an online news feed here today.
Seems the story-line is the war of the Rohirrim under Helm Hammerhand et. al. against the Dunlendings et. al. (the entry in Appendix B states that Rohan was attacked from west and east), during which the Long Winter of TA 2758-59 occurred.

This is what Tolkien did not want to happen.

Guess he shouldn't have sold those rights to United Artists back in the late 60's then.
As for this project, it will depend a lot on the animation and screenplay. As always, I hope for the best, adn expect the worst.

Tolkien wasn't philosophically opposed to animation -- the Forest Ackerman proposal was for an animated feature.

Information is meager, so far; I can't figure, from what I've seen, whether it's going to be 2D or CGI.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Ooh -- here's a clip!

whether it's going to be 2D or CGI.

If I had to choose what I prefer I'd say 2D.



Honestly? Japan would show more respect to Tolkien than Western Hollywood.

The person producing this movie has been dropping info on their Twitter and said this will be 2D.

Philippa Boyens?

Um. . .

Seems like a positive to me!

Well, I guess meat will be back on the menu, anyway.

Person/people who wrote Dark Crystal AOR are involved.

Anime Lord of the Rings? Very unappealing.

I just started watching it last night. Seems good so far through the first episode from a story standpoint. Visually, this isn't really my cup of tea but I will likely still find a way to enjoy this.

How can "Information" be "meager" yet Varking has "started watching" it already?

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

I think Varking was referring to the Dark Crystal series.

This is correct. I watched the first two episodes of the Dark Crystal series on Netflix last night. Will watch two more episodes before bed tonight.
