Furry Lord of the Rings

[Dannyalcatraz]

Dwarves are badgers. Nothing else comes close.

Hobbits are bunnies. Not hares, just the little, innocuous puffballs.

Elves are cats of some kind.

Orcs are hyenas.

Wizards are giant tortoises- old, wise, and arriving when they intend to.

Uncle Traveling Matt as Bilbo is very good.

Agreed!

Some of those muppets: LotR characters are very good. Others... not so sure.

Re. furry LotR. I don't see any reason to have one of Tolkien's races to map to any single species. Choose an animal based on a character's personality.

Sam - dog.
Merry and Pippin - cats. There's a reason the phrase "cat herding" is a thing.
Aragorn - stag.
Gimli - badger.
Boromir - bull.
Gollum - monkey.

Film it in New Zealand with bird folk.

Keas. Keafolk


Giant eagles are Haast Eagles.

Someone should film a movie here.

Gorgeous. Where's that?

When I was in NZ a few years back I went to The Bay of Islands. Looking out at it and how beautiful it is I immediately thought - this is where they should shoot an Earthsea movie/series.
