Don't worry, I bet they aren't going to make any anime movies after this one, not even animated ones. It is a mediocre animation made in a hurry just to maintain the rights. I don't know what movie you've seen.
Saw it tonight. It’s good! No masterpiece, but still way better than most critics say it is. Definitely a must watch for fans of The Lord of the Rings.
Going to see it with my mum and dad. As a fan of anime, I hope the screening run gets respect just as the Pokémon movies did back from 1999 to the 2000’s.
The point is that animation is usually scoffed at here in the west as "cartoons for children". There is nowhere near the appreciation for authentic, hand-drawn animation anymore either, as everything continues to shift to computer generated animation and honestly loses some of its soul in the process. There are good animated styles by cgi, like "The Last Wish" and the Spiderverse movies, but we have lost a precious art form in the process. What I would not do to see Dreamworks return to the skill and artistic soul they had in "The Prince of Egypt," for example.
An arbitrary sentiment. Walt Disney Animation used 3D during their so-called Renaissance, a time of acclaimed and renowned traditionally animated films. In Beauty and the Beast, the iconic dance scene is mainly CGI; the 2D Beauty and Beast were composited into the CGI ballroom. In The Lion King, the stampeding wildebeest herd is 3D. In Mulan, the Hun army and the crowds in the Forbidden City were CGI; in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the crowds in Paris were 3D. In Hercules, the hydra was computer-animated because it would have been too difficult to animate by hand. In Tarzan, the 2D Tarzan was composited onto 3D jungle backgrounds for the signature surfing and swinging scenes. The point is, 3D animation was in use before and after Pixar's Toy Story. Toy Story was just the boost 3D animation needed to revolutionize the mainstream animation industry. As someone who grew up watching 3D animated media, like Shrek, Ice Age, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon, I personally prefer 3D animation. I think J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth can be done justice in 3DCG.
Just saw the movie yesterday, and it was hands-down GORGEOUS! Excellent work, and thank you for choosing to highlight this beautiful medium of art.

It's not like J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth hasn't been adapted for animation before.
