Not sure if you will see this, but just know I think Tolkien would be very proud of your beautiful work. Great job my man. I watch this video many times!
Your productions are amazing, thank you so much for sharing them. There's only one flaw: correct me if I'm wrong, but in Tolkien's mind, Arda is not supposed to be the Earth.This was suggested by Paul Kocher (ISBN 0140038779), not Tolkien himself.
@@fredericjeanbart9283 from what I've read, he meant middle earth to be a PreHistoric Earth. Which is why after him and many if not most High Fantasy genre stories, always have the same theme of the other races dying out to give way for the age of Men. which is History as we know it.
@@WillowProductions If you've read that then it was written by someone else not Tolkien. Tolkien made it clear in his own writings that in the beginnings, Arda was flat rather than a spheroid object. Up through the Second Age! It's during the fall of the Numenorians and the drowning of their island, that Lluvatar made the world a spheroid so that Aman and the West was taken away from mortals reach. You can't just extrapolate upon someone else's feelings in order to radically change what Tolkien actually wrote lmao. Anyways, great visuals... meh 😌
I came for Turin. The prophecy of him killing Morgoth, avenging his father and all of the fallen men and the all evils Morgoth had done to him. Excites me every time.
For me it's both Turin and Feanor. It feels like they are part of a bigger cornerstone of the other characters. At least for me it was both Turin and Feanor who got the most screwed by Morgoth. Feanor with his Silmaril and family doom like a curse and Turin with his family doom. I truly hope that something is made out of this.
That's when I started choking up. I've seen it a few times too....it's like WTF. Why is my body responding that way. Their other one about the music of the Valar (Armor?) does the same thing to me.
I like how, once Melkor comes back, humanity just gets steamrolled immediately like they aren't even there. If you pay attention in the early parts of the video when Melkor arrives, at 1:50 that's an electrically lit-up city at the bottom of the screen... and about 3 seconds later, you've got a modern (or future) metropolis full of skyscrapers (festooned with communication antennae) going down. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't make jack shit of a difference how advanced mankind is or what sort of technology they've got - this isn't humanity's fight any more, it's out of mankind's league. This is the _war of the gods._ And after that humans don't even feature at all for the rest of the video, it's just full on gods vs gods. Really gives you a feel for the power level and unimaginable epicness of this battle. Well done.
If one day we get Silmarillion as a movie series, I hope there'll be people like you in charge! It's the most epic of books and you clearly understand that, well done!
@@Gwildor2020 Correct, and they never will. All rights of the Silmarillion are still owned exclusively by the Tolkien family. They have always been clear that they wont allow any cinematic adaptations. Thank Iluvatar.
@@A5p3r07h With the unfortunate circumstance of Christopher Tolkien's death, his children now hold the rights of the Tolkien estate and are more open to a film adaptation that he ever was.
This to me is by far the most beautiful fan film Silmarillion-based ever created. if only had million of views, Amazon or whatever company wants to create LotR related material would be more convinced to properly recreate the mythology from the start as Tolkien had envisioned. At least you gave Ainulindalë and Dagor Dagorath justice, and for this I am deeply grateful.
I can't tell you how often I've imagined the moment the Two Trees are rekindled and their light blasts forth over the world once more. Thank you so much for this beautiful interpretation!
Feanor surrendering the Silmarils at last is the bit that chokes me up. You know how much those things mean to him, and how bitterly he must regret not doing it sooner. But the great thing is that he must still do it voluntarily. The Valar could take them from him by force - he doesn't even have them at this point! - but they still ask his permission and need it. Because they are the good guys.
Well said, he is an interesting character, easy to hate at a first glance. But being 'good' or 'bad' are just selfishly comforting concepts, not really applicable. We all have sides of both. Motives and objectives are subjective as well.
I almost died at how ridiculously awesome this is. You truly inspire and gladden my heart, Willow Productions, with your works of passion and deliverance from fantasy that you truly care a great deal about. May your videos be seen by all who love and desire Tolkien's Legendarium, where we can all escape from our Primary World and go live, explore and appreciate his Secondary World, as he calls it. I wish you all the luck in the world, and may your lives be wrought with happiness, good will, and all that is fair. Farewell from a friend you have never met or laid eyes upon, but still loves you as only Tolkienists can. This might seem awkward to any who might not understand the feelings I felt; but it made me feel powerful happy writing it.
Hello. I love Tolkien's works and I just found this video. Let me tell you that that is one of, if not the best comment I have ever seen in my life! I loved the way you expressed those feelings with just a few words. And also the way you said farewell. :D You posted that comment 3 years ago, so you probably won't see this, but if you do, I just wanted to let you know that whoever you are, I'm proud of you and I need people like you in my life. Hopefully you will read this and text me back. I'd love to talk with you. Anyways, like you said, wish you a great life and happiness! Farewell from a happy friend still in his youth, waiting to find people like you and hopefully a great woman, who he can have amazing children with and tell those children amazing stories, like Tolkiens', stories which they will read to their own children.
I know exactly what you mean TheRanger. Lots of love from me too Willow Productions. You have made a beautiful production of a world we all know is more true than our material world. God bless!
I love this video! Watched it for years, 3 years +! I repeat the first verse to my coworkers and customers. It blows thier minds. With that said however, I'm an agent of goodness. I'll meet you again. If you are evil; I will slay you in that day.
I for one as a Tolkien scholar would enjoy hearing how you managed to have Tom Baker and Sir Christopher Lee narrate your tale. However I should not, for therein lies the magic of the tale told, and to discover the secret of such wonder would signal the end of the childhood of Men, and the coming of the Dagor more swiftly than was foretold. It is with great regret that I can only use the tongue of Men that I was granted when I wish you thus; Elen sila lumen omentielvo.
(Before I say this, just want to let everyone know that I loved the video, one of the best videos I've seen in my life!) I had no clue of how many people love Tolkien's work like I do. I love Lord of the Rings because my dad showed me the movies when I was 8. He died when I was 9, so it will all stick with me forever. He was the best person I have ever met, he suffered so much in his youth, but still, he made me as happy as he could, even tho we were only together until I was 9. I wish I could just see him at least one more time and thank him for everything, tell him that I'm proud of him and then hug him so much! That's why Lord of the Rings did such an impact in my life. Then, some years later, I watched the Hobbit, and after that, I started to search about Tolkien and Middle-Earth. Now I'm a huge fan of Tolkien and his works, I love everything he made, all the stories, just everything. I haven't read any of his books, but I'm planning on reading them soon. I also want to say that a big amount of the fans of Tolkien that I've seen are very formal in writings and like to talk with other people, be it about stories, life issues, anything. I'm still young so it's hard for me to find people like that in real life, so I'm looking for people like that around the Internet. People I could talk to, people who would understand me (not that my mother and friends don't, but it's different). So whoever reads this, I just want you to text me back if you would like to talk with me (with voices, please). Thank you for reading this. I don't usually talk about my father, so this is one of the few times I've done it. Sorry if there's some kind of orthographic mistake in my comment. That's because it's very late and I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now. Wish you all the luck and happiness to everyone who reads this and also to those who don't. From a happy human being, proud and thankful for his parents, and everyone else who knows what it really is like to love someone.
I like to think that after everything is done, after the video ends, all the characters from the books meet again on the new Earth/world that is now all undying lands and even all the baddies are there too but they are not bad anymore. Just imagine a Tv show after the Dagor Dagorath where Melkor, Sauron, Saruman, Ungoliant, Shelob, Balrogs, and everyone else live together in happy almost cartoon-ish society, talk about the good old times and have those ackward embarassed laughts during conersations like "Yeah. Crazy times am I right?" That would be most wholesome thing ever.
Ungoliant is a whole other story tho. We dont even know what it is. Its clearly on a higher level than even the Aunir. Maybe its an avatar of whatever Illuvatar's oposite is.
@@WillowProductions You've got a point but I'm not fully convinced she's on that scale mainly because she was compared to the Maiar and was quickly humbled by Morgoth's Balrogs. If she were an avatar of _Illuvatar's_ opposite, I'd imagine it would take something much greater to force her into submission. EDIT: Mind-blowing video btw! I'll probably re-watch this frequently.
@@WillowProductions well no, Illuvatar is unrivaled in power the same way god is. Satan is not god's opposite and equal, he's below God. The satan of Tolkien's lore is Melkor/Morgoth. My opinion is that it is an embodiment of the discord within the music of the ainur, chaos and hunger if you will.
Man I love that "Audiomachine - Reaching🎶" part, extra epic! "...and the mountains of Valinor shall be levelled, so that the light shall go out over all the world. In that light the Valar will grow young again... and the Elves awake and all their dead arise... ...and with the sons of Men they shall join in a new music of the Ainur ❤️🎵"
I love this. You genuinely have made a vision true to the book and Tolkien's vision (at least in my opinion). This is so wonderful and beautiful. Thank you, thank you so much for making this. I've imagined this so many times and to see something that really captures the true spirit of the author is incredible and special and so encouraging. Thank you:)
This is the most amazing animation you've done on Tolkien's legindarium. I was Inspired by Tolkien to create my own verse. This video is just absolute perfection. It depicts it perfectly. Thank you for creating this peice of art. I hope that the Tolkien estate let's someone make a movie on all parts.
This is... so beautiful... I love it. It's just perfect. I love the story of Dagor Dagorath and this video is perfect for the battle of battles. Thank you for this great video!
There's two version of the story (either Eönwë greatest swordsman of the maiar or Turin with Gurthang delivers the final blow to Morgoth). Perhaps they didn't choose on purpose, seeing as both could be canonical and so just stuck to the wrestling match between Morgoth and Tulkas. Similarly, they didn't include the dwarven myth of awakening before the battle at Aulë's side and afterwards along side him forge the world anew (which should obviously happen).
Turin strikes the final blow but there should be plenty of fighting before it. Tulkas should do about half of it but ends up trapped somehow by devilry. Luthien should make Morgoth vulnerable to physical damage again through her song; Galadriel should almost be killed by him but narrowly escapes with Olorin and Melian's help. Varda should confront him at some point... the Simarillion states Melkor feared Elbereth most--as light is her joy and power! THEN Turin takes his sword and plunges it through the dark lord's chest.
Conrad Ramirez Turin is still one of the 3 fighting Morgoth right from the start and Morgoth feared his black sword just as much as he feared Turin himself. Do you happen to know what Ulmo is doing during the battle, because I can't remember and I remeber that at some point in the simarillion he is told to be the most powerful of the valars (Morgoth is no longer a valar at that point), second most powerful of all the ainurs so I guess he must be doing some important things.
Yeah, and was Sauron fighting in this? I think I saw him fighting a couple of times. He should be killed by Eonwe, the greatest of the maiar just like him.
I know Eru was on the outside looking in, but I wonder what was going through his mind when he saw all the death and destruction caused by a rift between his children.
Eru represents God in this and what he says to Melkor in the beginning explains why he let this happen ("Mighty are the Ainur and mightiest among them is Melkor, but that he may know and all the Ainur, that I am Illivatar, those things that ye have sung I will show them forth that ye may see what ye have done, and thou Melkor may know that no song may be played that hath not it's utter most souce in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite for he that attempth this shalt prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful that he himself hath not imagined") this is him saying to Melkor or in other terms (God saying to Lucifer/Satan) You can be an obstacle all you want but know that whatever evil you do works into My greater plan to make a world more wonderful than it could ever have been if none of this had happened and know that without my approval nothing can happen at all, without my approval no man could draw breath nor the Earth rotate around the sun everything that does happen comes back to Me.
That touches your heart and soul I dont know what it is about Tolkiens books but there is something that truly touches your soul and is so beautiful it makes you cry its like saying bye to a friend
that last shot with the music and everything made me emotional! would love to see a full movie based on this story. but the ending has to be the way you guys did it.
The one story from Tolkien that we were always told would happen but never got to read ourselves. Thanks for bringing it to life. - Take Care, Beannacht De Duit
Me too, it was optional between him or Turin. And two planet sized titans having at it on the horizon just seemed alot cooler LOL Plus the obious reason that we had no human actors available LMAO
@@WillowProductions Hahahaha I would never fault you brother. You have done more than I could ever ask and gone well beyond the call of duty. It was beautiful production. For many years I did not know about the Dagor Dagorath. I had only read the Silmarillion and Children of Hurin - and I don't think it was mentioned there. I recently finished reading the Fall of Gondolin last month, and when it mentioned Turin's return and the avengement of the Children of Hurin... it provided me much needed closure. :D
This video was eight years ago, it is still very good but I am waiting for a new version made by todays technology. This would be the most exciting thing for me and for millions
when you showed Eonwe, Tulkas and Turin, goosebumps overcame. Any battle with Tulkas is amazing imo but this is truly the most legendary battle in Tolkien's work, a battle of heroes. War of wrath is the best battle that has happened, Dagor Dagorath is the best battle out of all but obviously based on prophecy by Mandos. Regardless, it's amazing, and any battle with such great force on each side is just too good.
I love this... I've always thought the end of the Lord of the Rings was a bit bittersweet, with the elves going away and all, so when I first heard that there was more, I was overjoyed. This made me cry happy tears. :)
9:12 that looks just like a true representation of a black hole, as a hole in space would resemble a sphere. Just a side nitpick, but that was epic! I think English or Westron would be insufficient to describe the beauty and glory of this work. One would need to understand and praise this in Quenya! Aurë entuluva! Aurë entuluva!
@sakor88 No no... His son did when Professor Tolkien passed away. He actually died before he had time to finish The Return of the King, so his son finished it and then his family wanted it to remain untouched.. Lest they get a huge portion of money and royalties, then they'd be greedy probably and now here we are with an SJW-washed proposal for the planned Netflix series
its such an epic ending, all the creatures bound to arda will be given eternal life and live in a paradise with the valar, dwarfs, elves the animals ...etc and one man of course.... the rest of mankind will move on to an unknown destiny only known to iluvatar talk about perfect endings
Thank you so much for making this! I love this and the Ainulindalë videos. The visual, music, narration, and story are so well connected it put me near tears. I hope you will make more and that you are recognized among the greats of Tolkieniens, you are in my book. Thank you once more, Teddy H.
I'm super late to get to see ur interpretation of this part of Tolkiens Middle Earth legendarium and this is so impressive!! Are there more!?!! It's really beautiful too. . And super unique I just love this !!
Well... I don't mind Lovecraft :) HOWEVER :P Tolkien's works are my love, so how could I even think of anyone else's art? :) Perhaps you could do the presentation of Ainur, Maiar and foes of Valinor next? :) That would've been awesome!
I've waited months and for the first time, I saw the Trees of Valinor as they were meant to be represented. Please do not stop here. Downfall of Numenor? Where we can see when the world was changed and with Elendil landing in Middle Earth... just anything! Turin's story! Anything! Thank you! This video was worth waiting for.
I saw the trailer for this 3 years ago as well as the Ainulindale..... As late as I am seeing this video (2 years late in fact 😅), well done!!!! YOU OUTDID YOURSELF HERE I LOVE IT :DDDD
I waited to watch this until I finished Andy Sirkis’ reading of Silmarillion. Glad I did. This hit hard enough I nearly cried. The door of night opening, the devastating of the modern world, the Valar towering over the battlefield as titans of light, and Turin literally punching Morgoth’s head off, were all stupendously epic. Especially Turin’s strngth of spirit being so great he was matching Morgoth in scale. But then Yavanna healing the world and Feanor atoning by giving over his Silmarils… that got me.
As someone who loves the silmarillion and Tolkien's Other words, i feel guilty only discovering this just now, after the absolute garbage and waste amazon is producing. I wish these 1 billion dollars went to you, as you make such awe-inspiring videos that portray the story so well! Loved every single second of this and hope you get the recognition you deserve! Edit: i just realized i actually DID know these animations before! Now i know why they seem so familliar. First time i watched this was not so long after the horror trailer was released, but then forgot about this! Glad i did find my way back here then!

And killing him with Gurthang the Iron of Death no less

OMG me too!! Turin dearest Turin
It gave me so much closure knowing that he will pierce Gurthang into Melkor’s heart.
And the return of Feanor!
I want Fingolfin to be with Turin. He, too, deserved the right to retribution.
The score when Yavanna recreates the world is unmatched. The shivers are just uncontrollable. It'd like the music of new life after destruction.

So whoever reads this, I just want you to text me back if you would like to talk with me (with voices, please).
Thank you for reading this. I don't usually talk about my father, so this is one of the few times I've done it. Sorry if there's some kind of orthographic mistake in my comment. That's because it's very late and I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now. Wish you all the luck and happiness to everyone who reads this and also to those who don't. From a happy human being, proud and thankful for his parents, and everyone else who knows what it really is like to love someone.
My friend let me know how I can contact you? We can chat 😊
I like to think that after everything is done, after the video ends, all the characters from the books meet again on the new Earth/world that is now all undying lands and even all the baddies are there too but they are not bad anymore.
Just imagine a Tv show after the Dagor Dagorath where Melkor, Sauron, Saruman, Ungoliant, Shelob, Balrogs, and everyone else live together in happy almost cartoon-ish society, talk about the good old times and have those ackward embarassed laughts during conersations like "Yeah. Crazy times am I right?" That would be most wholesome thing ever.
Ungoliant is a whole other story tho.
We dont even know what it is.
Its clearly on a higher level than even the Aunir. Maybe its an avatar of whatever Illuvatar's oposite is.
@@WillowProductions So. What you are saying us. If Illivatar is a Daddy of everything. Then Ungoliant can be....a Mommy?
@@michasalamon8315 Perhaps...The Great Spider Mommy?
@@WillowProductions You've got a point but I'm not fully convinced she's on that scale mainly because she was compared to the Maiar and was quickly humbled by Morgoth's Balrogs. If she were an avatar of _Illuvatar's_ opposite, I'd imagine it would take something much greater to force her into submission.
EDIT: Mind-blowing video btw! I'll probably re-watch this frequently.
@@WillowProductions well no, Illuvatar is unrivaled in power the same way god is. Satan is not god's opposite and equal, he's below God. The satan of Tolkien's lore is Melkor/Morgoth. My opinion is that it is an embodiment of the discord within the music of the ainur, chaos and hunger if you will.
Man I love that "Audiomachine - Reaching🎶" part, extra epic!
"...and the mountains of Valinor shall be levelled, so that the light shall go out over all the world. In that light the Valar will grow young again... and the Elves awake and all their dead arise...
...and with the sons of Men they shall join in a new music of the Ainur ❤️🎵"
I love this. You genuinely have made a vision true to the book and Tolkien's vision (at least in my opinion). This is so wonderful and beautiful. Thank you, thank you so much for making this. I've imagined this so many times and to see something that really captures the true spirit of the author is incredible and special and so encouraging. Thank you:)
Wow, i cried by the moment when Feanor will give the Silmarill to the Valar. He is truly one of a Kind! My favorite charaktere in all stories!
I cry every time I see this.
Indescribable.
I cried. This was truly beautiful.
+Timis Vladimir You truly have nothing better to do with your time? You're the one who's pathetic
Orochimaruswife1 I'm crying that you cried. Lol.
Gods dammit...who is cutting onions in here????
Gaaay
I cried too, at the part where Feanor gave away his Silmarils and Yavanna breathed life back to Arda.
History of the Ages sent me here and i have not regretted it. Awesome work
Oh my, this is so amazing that I cannot believe it, thank-you for this beautiful gift to all Tolkein fans!
Thank you for your kind words
I'm screaming I've been waiting for this for so long! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so beautiful bit makes me cry I feel a strong connection with this
Melkor: IM BAAAAACK! miss me? 😅
Tulkas: What took you so long buddy? I haven't kicked your ass in ten thousand years, good to see you again!
This is the most amazing animation you've done on Tolkien's legindarium. I was Inspired by Tolkien to create my own verse. This video is just absolute perfection. It depicts it perfectly. Thank you for creating this peice of art. I hope that the Tolkien estate let's someone make a movie on all parts.
This is... so beautiful... I love it. It's just perfect. I love the story of Dagor Dagorath and this video is perfect for the battle of battles. Thank you for this great video!
and I love soup too!
Yes, soup is delicious xD
Hey Turin should have been the one striking down Morgoth.
Yeah, and the moon is driven by a male hunter in this mythology, so it should be 'his' light
There's two version of the story (either Eönwë greatest swordsman of the maiar or Turin with Gurthang delivers the final blow to Morgoth). Perhaps they didn't choose on purpose, seeing as both could be canonical and so just stuck to the wrestling match between Morgoth and Tulkas. Similarly, they didn't include the dwarven myth of awakening before the battle at Aulë's side and afterwards along side him forge the world anew (which should obviously happen).
Turin strikes the final blow but there should be plenty of fighting before it. Tulkas should do about half of it but ends up trapped somehow by devilry. Luthien should make Morgoth vulnerable to physical damage again through her song; Galadriel should almost be killed by him but narrowly escapes with Olorin and Melian's help. Varda should confront him at some point... the Simarillion states Melkor feared Elbereth most--as light is her joy and power! THEN Turin takes his sword and plunges it through the dark lord's chest.
Conrad Ramirez Turin is still one of the 3 fighting Morgoth right from the start and Morgoth feared his black sword just as much as he feared Turin himself.
Do you happen to know what Ulmo is doing during the battle, because I can't remember and I remeber that at some point in the simarillion he is told to be the most powerful of the valars (Morgoth is no longer a valar at that point), second most powerful of all the ainurs so I guess he must be doing some important things.
Yeah, and was Sauron fighting in this? I think I saw him fighting a couple of times. He should be killed by Eonwe, the greatest of the maiar just like him.
My Tolkein heart soars like a hawk... Thank you
I know Eru was on the outside looking in, but I wonder what was going through his mind when he saw all the death and destruction caused by a rift between his children.
Eru represents God in this and what he says to Melkor in the beginning explains why he let this happen ("Mighty are the Ainur and mightiest among them is Melkor, but that he may know and all the Ainur, that I am Illivatar, those things that ye have sung I will show them forth that ye may see what ye have done, and thou Melkor may know that no song may be played that hath not it's utter most souce in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite for he that attempth this shalt prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful that he himself hath not imagined") this is him saying to Melkor or in other terms (God saying to Lucifer/Satan) You can be an obstacle all you want but know that whatever evil you do works into My greater plan to make a world more wonderful than it could ever have been if none of this had happened and know that without my approval nothing can happen at all, without my approval no man could draw breath nor the Earth rotate around the sun everything that does happen comes back to Me.
That touches your heart and soul I dont know what it is about Tolkiens books but there is something that truly touches your soul and is so beautiful it makes you cry its like saying bye to a friend
I love how the lore says that the battle will lead to a new world. That's beauty right there
that last shot with the music and everything made me emotional! would love to see a full movie based on this story. but the ending has to be the way you guys did it.
Actually speechless... That was... Wow
Alright ill admit it, I shed a tear by the end of this. Well done, sincerely, this was a pleasure to watch.
We are so glad you enjoyed it!
Tolkien would have been so proud of this video
Thank you so much
That ending was beautiful 😭😭😢🤧🤧
Amazing
The one story from Tolkien that we were always told would happen but never got to read ourselves. Thanks for bringing it to life.
- Take Care, Beannacht De Duit
The chills I get every time in the ending scene can never be compared to anything. This is a defination of perfect in all aspects.
Wow what a production God bless! But I REALLY wanted to see Turin pierce Morgoth's heart with Gurthang :D
Me too, it was optional between him or Turin.
And two planet sized titans having at it on the horizon just seemed alot cooler LOL
Plus the obious reason that we had no human actors available LMAO
@@WillowProductions Hahahaha I would never fault you brother. You have done more than I could ever ask and gone well beyond the call of duty.
It was beautiful production.
For many years I did not know about the Dagor Dagorath. I had only read the Silmarillion and Children of Hurin - and I don't think it was mentioned there. I recently finished reading the Fall of Gondolin last month, and when it mentioned Turin's return and the avengement of the Children of Hurin... it provided me much needed closure. :D
@@WillowProductions I personally prefer the Tulkas version, as it was in the battles against Morgoth before.
Proof that budget is not the problem, Its people who can't write a script. This was fantastic
This is AMAZING. I love how you've taken inspiration from Biblical artwork to potray these characters in some shots. Phenomenal! Please do more!
This video was eight years ago, it is still very good but I am waiting for a new version made by todays technology. This would be the most exciting thing for me and for millions
This is a really great interpretation Tolkien's work.
when you showed Eonwe, Tulkas and Turin, goosebumps overcame. Any battle with Tulkas is amazing imo but this is truly the most legendary battle in Tolkien's work, a battle of heroes. War of wrath is the best battle that has happened, Dagor Dagorath is the best battle out of all but obviously based on prophecy by Mandos. Regardless, it's amazing, and any battle with such great force on each side is just too good.
I love this... I've always thought the end of the Lord of the Rings was a bit bittersweet, with the elves going away and all, so when I first heard that there was more, I was overjoyed. This made me cry happy tears. :)
Incredible work. In the begining I was speechless watching this state of the art film. Bravo from Greece.
Melkor in the beginning scares me, as it should be, well done!!!
I don't know what I was expecting, but thank you. This was truly incredible and beautiful. I'm crying now, and i'm almost at a loss for words.
Everyone: "Melkor is too powerful. He's too mighty!"
Tulkas: "Wanna see me kill this guy?" *Points at Melkor*
Turin is the one who kills Morgoth with his blade Gurthang, but he fight side by side with Eonwë and the mighty Tulkas
This is wonderful! Thanks a lot to the creator. Thanks a lot to sir J.R.R Tolkien
9:12 that looks just like a true representation of a black hole, as a hole in space would resemble a sphere. Just a side nitpick, but that was epic! I think English or Westron would be insufficient to describe the beauty and glory of this work. One would need to understand and praise this in Quenya! Aurë entuluva! Aurë entuluva!
Excellent video! Thank You....always beneficial to see Good triumphing over evil....
Wow this was very well done. Excellent job, the music was spot on!
AmZing video! This’s how I imagined Dagor Dagorath . Well done 👏🏼
I had tears in my eyes watching it!
so welldone!
I am so happy to have see this, thanks for making it.
Utulie'n aure! The day has come, the True Day of the Two Trees rekindled!
Thank you for this video.
By the Valar and Eru himself, this was great.
Is a perfect representation of the battle and a finish as the proffesor Tolkien wanted. Can I say will be perfect if you do the history of hurin? ;)
@sakor88 No no... His son did when Professor Tolkien passed away. He actually died before he had time to finish The Return of the King, so his son finished it and then his family wanted it to remain untouched.. Lest they get a huge portion of money and royalties, then they'd be greedy probably and now here we are with an SJW-washed proposal for the planned Netflix series
Oh my god, you are very talented. The music blended with amazing graphic, sent shivers down my spine.
I love you. THis is one of the most amazing things ive ever seen.
This is freaking awesome. Thank you so much for making this! 👍
Wow the rebuilding part is extra epic with that inspirational music ♥️🎶
This gave me chills. So Epic. Imagine if they made a film with this!
its such an epic ending, all the creatures bound to arda will be given eternal life and live in a paradise with the valar, dwarfs, elves the animals ...etc and one man of course....
the rest of mankind will move on to an unknown destiny only known to iluvatar
talk about perfect endings
Who is the one man
Daniel Wade I wanna guess either Turin or Beren
Hobbits too.
Thank you so much for making this! I love this and the Ainulindalë videos. The visual, music, narration, and story are so well connected it put me near tears. I hope you will make more and that you are recognized among the greats of Tolkieniens, you are in my book.
Thank you once more,
Teddy H.
Thank you very much! I hope to see more of your exquisite work in the future.
Not gonna lie, the ending had me in tears.
Deep and beautiful. Thank you so much willow productions.
3:21 Ancalagon XD
He looks funny XD
The details in this movie are enormous!
ungoliant at 5:37
I think I saw Sauron in there somewhere
@@drakeevans8042 3:31 I believe that's Sauron
Hi im here from history of the ages video, ive never seen this before and I want more so much more this was truly great
Brohirim rise up^^
I'm super late to get to see ur interpretation of this part of Tolkiens Middle Earth legendarium and this is so impressive!! Are there more!?!! It's really beautiful too. . And super unique I just love this !!
Just the 2 of them ☺
Just amazing all who had worked on this short film gratulations👏🎊
This was beautiful 🌌💓
Amazing! Thank u for the chance to see, in a way, one the best creation of Tolkien. Congrats!
Greetings from Argentina (y)
I'm spoiled. this was the truth. I'm imaging a beren and luthien.
Gracias por su sacrificio en esta batalla será recordó entré mí descendientes, jajaja gracias por todo lo que hace siempre!!!
Muchas gracias por los subtitulos en español, somos millones de hispano parlantes y casi nunca se nos tiene en cuenta.Enhorabuena!!!
Really impressive work. Quite beautiful and awe-inspiring. I definitely gasped a few times at the images of "Arda Healed" and the world being remade.
Once again you all did an amazing job! What are you plans for the future now?
Please, please, find some time, only a little, tiny bit, to make more videos such as this one. It was incredible!!!
Well... I don't mind Lovecraft :) HOWEVER :P Tolkien's works are my love, so how could I even think of anyone else's art? :) Perhaps you could do the presentation of Ainur, Maiar and foes of Valinor next? :) That would've been awesome!
more Tolkien please
Do you have a patreon set up?
Willow Productions A patreon.com account. Some way to support the continued development?
I've waited months and for the first time, I saw the Trees of Valinor as they were meant to be represented. Please do not stop here. Downfall of Numenor? Where we can see when the world was changed and with Elendil landing in Middle Earth... just anything! Turin's story! Anything! Thank you! This video was worth waiting for.
05:45
I keep coming back for this 😊♥️🌱
I saw the trailer for this 3 years ago as well as the Ainulindale.....
As late as I am seeing this video (2 years late in fact 😅), well done!!!! YOU OUTDID YOURSELF HERE I LOVE IT :DDDD
Better late than never! so glad you enjoyed it!
Just came here from History of the Ages reaction! Who else?
I waited to watch this until I finished Andy Sirkis’ reading of Silmarillion. Glad I did. This hit hard enough I nearly cried. The door of night opening, the devastating of the modern world, the Valar towering over the battlefield as titans of light, and Turin literally punching Morgoth’s head off, were all stupendously epic. Especially Turin’s strngth of spirit being so great he was matching Morgoth in scale. But then Yavanna healing the world and Feanor atoning by giving over his Silmarils… that got me.
As someone who loves the silmarillion and Tolkien's Other words, i feel guilty only discovering this just now, after the absolute garbage and waste amazon is producing. I wish these 1 billion dollars went to you, as you make such awe-inspiring videos that portray the story so well! Loved every single second of this and hope you get the recognition you deserve!
Edit: i just realized i actually DID know these animations before! Now i know why they seem so familliar. First time i watched this was not so long after the horror trailer was released, but then forgot about this! Glad i did find my way back here then!
Forgot liking and subscribing, this should get the a minimum of a 10 billion dollar raise.
Oh yeah, I've been waiting for this!
They should really make this live action 👊🏿😎
Loved this. I noticed the music at the end at least came from the movie Thor.
Beautiful. Excellent work well done.
Tulkus doesn’t carry a weapon. He doesn’t need one.
Very kool interpretation. certainly deserves more views!
Wow. Just wow.
