Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Miranda Otto recorded Éowyn's narration in one day, fifteen years after Return of the King. She allegedly cried in the booth.
Director Kenji Kamiyama insisted on 2D animation over CG to match the 'handcrafted' spirit of Tolkien's world — Warner Bros fought him on it.

"But 200 years before that, there was an older tale." Yup, that's how time works.

"He's dead!" Well yeah. Maybe don't start a fist fight with a guy called "Hammerhand."
