The first REAL dangers outside of the Shire were cut from the films. So, how much did we REALLY lose by not having The Old Forest or Old Man Willow in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films?

  • What about other evils in Middle-earth? Did Jackson do a disservice by removing them?
  • Losing the depth of the character of Middle-earth IS a loss!
