Lord of the Rings can redeem its animated failures
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 2024’s upcoming animated Lord of the Rings movie, subtitled War of the Rohirrim, can finally fix two huge franchise mistakes from long before the Peter Jackson trilogy. Set to arrive in theaters on December 13, 2024, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim will fill in the backstory of Helm Hammerhand, a legendary King of Rohan and namesake of Helm’s Deep, who has to defend his kingdom against an army of Dunlendings.
Related 2024's Lord Of The Rings Movie Is Repeating A 23-Year-Old Franchise Trick 2024's animated Lord of the Rings movie, The War of the Rohirrim, is borrowing a storytelling trick from Peter Jackson's original live-action trilogy. War Of The Rohirrim Can Fix Earlier LOTR Animated Movies Two decades before Jackson would tackle The Lord of the Rings saga in live-action, the books were adapted into a pair of animated movies.
Rankin/Bass’ Return of the King animation suffered from the same problem, sacrificing crucial story beats for the sake of brevity. It also has a cutesy animation style and a folk-ballad soundtrack that doesn’t gel with the epic, mythic quality of Tolkien’s writing. Both of these animated Lord of the Rings movies were terrible in their own way, and damaged the idea of animation being a good medium for Middle-earth. All these years later, War of the Rohirrim can fix this perception.
Recent successes like the Spider-Verse movies and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem have reinvigorated the art of big-screen animation and proven that a variety of different visual styles can be used to tell a variety of different stories. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim has the opportunity to break the visual potential of Tolkien’s universe wide open, paving the way for a bunch of animated movies diving into unexplored areas of Middle-earth.
