The list I was seeing had multiple Harry Potter movies, BFG, The House with the Clock in the Walls, Mrs. Peregrines House for Children... Here, let me see if I can find the list again. Okay, here was the list I skimmed. <a href="https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-fantasy-movies-of-all-time/" target="_blank">https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-fantasy-movies-of-all-time/</a> . Now, instead of just claiming this is a bad list, let's look through it. Out of 84 movies, I find a total of 12 movies that are serious, medieval fantasy (Five of those are Tolkien, so almost HALF). To put that in context there are 9 Harry Potter movies alone. If I compare Serious, Medieval Fantasy movies to "Modern young kid discovers magic" , we are looking at, what? Twenty-Five? Double the amount. And even if we combine these two groups, we aren't even looking at HALF the list. Again, serious medieval fantasy movies like Tolkien aren't the end all, be all of Fantasy, and that means Tolkien isn't the end all be all of fantasy.Now I'm not super familiar with these, but Carnival Row doesn't sound like it is Medieval Fantasy. Shadow and Bone I thought was set in the modern world, as it was a masquerade style story. Rings is just... Tolkien again. Which means your only other show showing halflings is Willow. Which is also one of the movies. Dark Materials is NOT a DnD style world at ALL. Like, not even close. So... Wheel of Time, Witcher, Willow and Rings of Power? FOUR shows? I can name more Fantasy TV shows in American Animation that don't conform to DnD than you were able to find here. Avatar the Last Air BenderCentaurworldAdventure TimeOver the Garden WallStar vs The Forces of EvilSteven UniverseThundercatsShe-Ra and the Princesses of PowerCupheadSo, again Tolkien =/= Fantasy for the majority of people. And other than Willow (a niche 40 year old movie) you haven't named a single property other than Tolkien that features halflings.</blockquote>
