    A bit dark for Rivendell…. And why does it remind me of a Chinese pagoda thing? Falling off a cliff….

    You’re right, Tiru, it looks like someone ripped a piece of Chinatown out and stuck it on a mountain.

    It looks too complicated and not peaceful enough to be Rivendell. Maybe it’s RivenHell.

    Nah, RivenHell is a disco. Imladris Saigon and Elrond is Miss Saigon.

    I think Bakshi skipped many lines when he read the book…Even the description of the characters and places…

    Rivendell is supposed to be “glen of the cleft” i.e. In a valley! Not stuck on the side of Mt Everest!

    At first glance this looked a lot more like Mordor, and very industralized and smog-gy-like

    Actual Bakshi quote: “Make Rivenhell as scary and Chinese as possible. Then put it wobbling on a cliff! Muah!”

    This looks more like Lord Yu’s home in Stargate SG-1 then Rivendell. Those who watch the show know what I mean

    ok,it’s a pretty pic, but it doesn’t seem elf-like to me…but rather as a couple of tree-houses about to fall
