Please not animation, that would haunt my nightmares, And take away the seriousness and grandeur of the epic.

^You know animation can be serious. You wouldn't know from it from 90 percent of Western animation but it can be serious. Making it animated would not instantly turn it into a kids show.

@Mitth'raw'nuruodo3 I agree! Animation has produced content I absolutely adore. But I'm not sure animation is the best fit for the Tolkien universe.

^Epic fantasy has rarely been done in animation. I think they should do it, it would be really unique.

Animation scares me more than the faces of the Orcs.
