Why hasn't any Western animation studio tried to animate LOTR again? Ralph Bakshi gave it a fair go, but it's time for a modern answer.

Uh bros I was told AI would never get good, why does this look pretty good?
but it doesnt
why does this look pretty good?
they all have the blank eyed stare that mind-controlled characters get in anime
I don’t get why people say this shit, it literally looks like a Snapchat filter
GOOD MORNING SIR
Indians don't watch cartoons.
Because the Jackson films exist and are iconic. Theres little interest in making another adaptation, let alone an animated adaptation, when it is going to be compared to one of the biggest film releases of all time.
This. I don't get why people associate AI with Indians so much.
Yes anon, we know about the new AI Ghibli sloopa poopa model.
What other fantasy series would you like to see animated?
Why should they? It'll never make enough money to justify it and people would just compare it to the live action movie. Maybe a 3D Lego movie. I can see that happening.
Narnia.
Just Johnny Bravo.
Oh hello Gundorf! Where's Blasbo Babbins?
Charles Saunders' "Imaro" series. It's similar to Conan, but it takes place in a fictional version of Africa and the lead character fights Egyptian/African gods and Lovecraftian monsters.
I wish The Hobbit was an animated feature film by Walt Disney the man himself. I believe only he could do it given The Hobbit is supposed to for children and Disney's Snow White and The Seven Dwarves is beautiful and brilliant, and so are Disney's Pinocchio, Bambi, and Fantasia. He definitely knew how to depict folklore Europe, what with the rustic villages with cozy cottages, soaring castles on tall hills, and both friendly forests and deep dark woods. Everything down to furniture, outfits, and even tools are brilliantly drawn
Why did Tolkien hate Disney so much then?
iconic
Eh, the CG doesn't really hold up so the bigger army scenes look like ass these days
Look at Bilbo's thumb or the mitsnt growing out of that bush.
if they did this today bilbo would be a fat indian troon
Same reasons most writers did

I'd kill for a Lego LoTR movie
Shame WB sold the rights to Lego movies just for Universal to barely do anything with it

What the hell is this meme of drawing everything all Miyazaki ass looking or whatever? Is this some AI prompt?
Because the IP isn’t in the public domain. And even if it was it would probably have a bunch of trademark preventing you from doing anything with it.
Song of Ice and Fire
bros I was told what to think
Glad you're thinking for yourself now
Use Tove Jansson's character designs she made for the novels or forget about it. This is so bland it hurts.
Kill yourself.
Harry potter. We'll never get it because JK hates animation with a passion for some stupid fucking reason.
Not muh dwarfs
No seriously
Because Disney always sanitized shit and took control away from the original creators.
