Kind of shatters (...ummm...no. not really

) my idea of Aragorn being able to "see"/understand people.

Hm. You're very hopeful about the Entwives (btw, they aren't necessarily wives in a literal way. Wives=women. But I guess you could say that they arewives). How many of them are left, though? The Ent population was decreasing; how dramatic would the drop in numbers of the female popultion be?

I like the idea of Saruman's apprentice. (psss - or you can make it the 10th Nazgul

)

And welcome to the Downs, Producernyc! Enjoy being dead! (<== that phrase is getting annoying. We should come up with a new greeting. How about... "I hope you had a quick death"?

Okay. How serious are you about wanting feedback, Producernyc? I can critique the treatment for you, all right, but I suspect you won't like much of what I may have to say. Judging from this synopsis, I'm afraid it looks like there are significant issues, both as regards storytelling and "canonicity".

Also, what are your eventual plans for this? It is certainly very ambitious for a fan-film and would be quite expensive to produce, even as an animation.
