So that would be Hayao Miyazaki then.

The animation will be beautiful beyond belief.

The purists will complain that Miyazaki strays from Tolkien's intention.

Compared to other visualisations, there will be more black icky goo.

But future generations will be comfortable with the view that the environmental toll of Dwarven mines, dragonish flaming and the other evils of the elder races would set the scene for cleansing and a new age.
