Dagor Dagorath (J.R.R Tolkien Short Film) 

The Entire Credits scene is for people from Ainulindale comments who wanted the earth to be flat :)

Eldar: "We've defeated Morgoth!" Elves and Men: "We've defeated him once, yes. What about Second Defeating of Morgoth?"

I can't tell you how often I've imagined the moment the Two Trees are rekindled and their light blasts forth over the world once more. Thank you so much for this beautiful interpretation!

Oh my, this is so amazing that I cannot believe it, thank-you for this beautiful gift to all Tolkein fans!

This is the most amazing animation you've done on Tolkien's legindarium. I was Inspired by Tolkien to create my own verse. This video is just absolute perfection. It depicts it perfectly. Thank you for creating this peice of art. I hope that the Tolkien estate let's someone make a movie on all parts.

They should really make this live action 👊🏿😎

Truly fantastic! Very well done! Awesome and inspirational! Love it!

Me at 1:07 - How ya doin Morgoth? Long time no see. I noticed your Silmarils seem to be missing....

that truly was amazing. thank u willow productions

why can't I view this video? I've been waiting for it and it just says this video not available, everytime.

what is the soundtrack's name from 0:00 to 1:10 ??

I came for Turin. The prophecy of him killing Morgoth, avenging his father and all of the fallen men and the all evils Morgoth had done to him. Excites me every time.

A better short movie than whole Amazons Rings of Power.

I got shivers when Yavanna was making the world new.

If one day we get Silmarillion as a movie series, I hope there'll be people like you in charge! It's the most epic of books and you clearly understand that, well done!

This to me is by far the most beautiful fan film Silmarillion-based ever created. if only had million of views, Amazon or whatever company wants to create LotR related material would be more convinced to properly recreate the mythology from the start as Tolkien had envisioned. At least you gave Ainulindalë and Dagor Dagorath justice, and for this I am deeply grateful.

This has more Tolkien-DNA in it than whatever Amazon can conjure... Great short!

I like how, once Melkor comes back, humanity just gets steamrolled immediately like they aren't even there. If you pay attention in the early parts of the video when Melkor arrives, at 1:50 that's an electrically lit-up city at the bottom of the screen... and about 3 seconds later, you've got a modern (or future) metropolis full of skyscrapers (festooned with communication antennae) going down. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't make jack shit of a difference how advanced mankind is or what sort of technology they've got - this isn't humanity's fight any more, it's out of mankind's league. This is the _war of the gods._ And after that humans don't even feature at all for the rest of the video, it's just full on gods vs gods. Really gives you a feel for the power level and unimaginable epicness of this battle. Well done.

The score when Yavanna recreates the world is unmatched. The shivers are just uncontrollable. It'd like the music of new life after destruction.

I almost died at how ridiculously awesome this is. You truly inspire and gladden my heart, Willow Productions, with your works of passion and deliverance from fantasy that you truly care a great deal about. May your videos be seen by all who love and desire Tolkien's Legendarium, where we can all escape from our Primary World and go live, explore and appreciate his Secondary World, as he calls it. I wish you all the luck in the world, and may your lives be wrought with happiness, good will, and all that is fair. Farewell from a friend you have never met or laid eyes upon, but still loves you as only Tolkienists can. This might seem awkward to any who might not understand the feelings I felt; but it made me feel powerful happy writing it.

"Why did you skip school again?!" "Mom I was training for the Dagor Dagorath!!" ^ definetely going to use this one some time

Hey Turin should have been the one striking down Morgoth.

I for one as a Tolkien scholar would enjoy hearing how you managed to have Tom Baker and Sir Christopher Lee narrate your tale. However I should not, for therein lies the magic of the tale told, and to discover the secret of such wonder would signal the end of the childhood of Men, and the coming of the Dagor more swiftly than was foretold. It is with great regret that I can only use the tongue of Men that I was granted when I wish you thus; Elen sila lumen omentielvo.

Now imagine if, after thousands of years in the Void with nothing to do, Morgoth came back with same work ethic as Garfield.

Almost nothing makes me cry. This did. Showing again what this Tolkien's mythological world means to me. Thank you!!!!!

I cried. This was truly beautiful.

This is a proper respect and tribute to Tolkiens work and if he was still alive and saw this I think he would approve

I'm screaming I've been waiting for this for so long! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Feanor surrendering the Silmarils at last is the bit that chokes me up. You know how much those things mean to him, and how bitterly he must regret not doing it sooner. But the great thing is that he must still do it voluntarily. The Valar could take them from him by force - he doesn't even have them at this point! - but they still ask his permission and need it. Because they are the good guys.

9:12 that looks just like a true representation of a black hole, as a hole in space would resemble a sphere. Just a side nitpick, but that was epic! I think English or Westron would be insufficient to describe the beauty and glory of this work. One would need to understand and praise this in Quenya! Aurë entuluva! Aurë entuluva!

Is a perfect representation of the battle and a finish as the proffesor Tolkien wanted. Can I say will be perfect if you do the history of hurin? ;)

Man I love that "Audiomachine - Reaching🎶" part, extra epic! "...and the mountains of Valinor shall be levelled, so that the light shall go out over all the world. In that light the Valar will grow young again... and the Elves awake and all their dead arise... ...and with the sons of Men they shall join in a new music of the Ainur ❤️🎵"

I love this. You genuinely have made a vision true to the book and Tolkien's vision (at least in my opinion). This is so wonderful and beautiful. Thank you, thank you so much for making this. I've imagined this so many times and to see something that really captures the true spirit of the author is incredible and special and so encouraging. Thank you:)

I know Eru was on the outside looking in, but I wonder what was going through his mind when he saw all the death and destruction caused by a rift between his children.

3:21 Ancalagon XD

I like to think that after everything is done, after the video ends, all the characters from the books meet again on the new Earth/world that is now all undying lands and even all the baddies are there too but they are not bad anymore. Just imagine a Tv show after the Dagor Dagorath where Melkor, Sauron, Saruman, Ungoliant, Shelob, Balrogs, and everyone else live together in happy almost cartoon-ish society, talk about the good old times and have those ackward embarassed laughts during conersations like "Yeah. Crazy times am I right?" That would be most wholesome thing ever.

This is... so beautiful... I love it. It's just perfect. I love the story of Dagor Dagorath and this video is perfect for the battle of battles. Thank you for this great video!

Just one complaint, Morgoth was a badass yes, but he didn't fight his own battles. As all of this took place he cowered in his throne room until Tulkas knocked down the doors and chained him,. The entire time Morgoth didn't even try to fight back, he just pleaded for mercy. As I said, Morgoth was a badass, but he was still a pussy.

That ending was beautiful 😭😭😢🤧🤧

Too bad he never finished the silmarillion. Maybe it's for the best. He would have had to create the purpose and fate of man. That's why the chorus is incomplete, because the last act is the song of the fate of man. We cant even remember who built stone hedge or the pyramids let alone know our role on this planet.

My Tolkein heart soars like a hawk... Thank you

Just came here from History of the Ages reaction! Who else?

Wow, i cried by the moment when Feanor will give the Silmarill to the Valar. He is truly one of a Kind! My favorite charaktere in all stories!

Actually speechless... That was... Wow

(Before I say this, just want to let everyone know that I loved the video, one of the best videos I've seen in my life!) I had no clue of how many people love Tolkien's work like I do. I love Lord of the Rings because my dad showed me the movies when I was 8. He died when I was 9, so it will all stick with me forever. He was the best person I have ever met, he suffered so much in his youth, but still, he made me as happy as he could, even tho we were only together until I was 9. I wish I could just see him at least one more time and thank him for everything, tell him that I'm proud of him and then hug him so much! That's why Lord of the Rings did such an impact in my life. Then, some years later, I watched the Hobbit, and after that, I started to search about Tolkien and Middle-Earth. Now I'm a huge fan of Tolkien and his works, I love everything he made, all the stories, just everything. I haven't read any of his books, but I'm planning on reading them soon. I also want to say that a big amount of the fans of Tolkien that I've seen are very formal in writings and like to talk with other people, be it about stories, life issues, anything. I'm still young so it's hard for me to find people like that in real life, so I'm looking for people like that around the Internet. People I could talk to, people who would understand me (not that my mother and friends don't, but it's different). So whoever reads this, I just want you to text me back if you would like to talk with me (with voices, please). Thank you for reading this. I don't usually talk about my father, so this is one of the few times I've done it. Sorry if there's some kind of orthographic mistake in my comment. That's because it's very late and I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now. Wish you all the luck and happiness to everyone who reads this and also to those who don't. From a happy human being, proud and thankful for his parents, and everyone else who knows what it really is like to love someone.

Tolkien would have been so proud of this video

Wow what a production God bless! But I REALLY wanted to see Turin pierce Morgoth's heart with Gurthang :D

Interesting how many of these powerful creatures are wearing armour from Elder Scrolls, great video though

Melkor: IM BAAAAACK! miss me? 😅 Tulkas: What took you so long buddy? I haven't kicked your ass in ten thousand years, good to see you again!

This is so beautiful bit makes me cry I feel a strong connection with this

Once again you all did an amazing job! What are you plans for the future now?

History of the Ages sent me here and i have not regretted it. Awesome work

I would have liked arda still in the old times with swords, shields etc. Not in this modern time with sky scrapers and all that stuff

I'm super late to get to see ur interpretation of this part of Tolkiens Middle Earth legendarium and this is so impressive!! Are there more!?!! It's really beautiful too. . And super unique I just love this !!

is that Sauron at 3:59?

this reminds me the bible lol

Amazing how much Tolkien lifted out of the book of Revelation...one big difference though, in the Bible, Satan is defeated not by arms, but by Jesus' spoken word.

I'm spoiled. this was the truth. I'm imaging a beren and luthien.

pls say the LOTR characters came back to life

9:12 that looks just like a true representation of a black hole, as a hole in space would resemble a sphere. Just a side nitpick, but that was epic! I think English or Westron would be insufficient to describe the beauty and glory of this work. One would need to understand and praise this in Quenya! Aurë entuluva! Aurë entuluva!

Everyone: "Melkor is too powerful. He's too mighty!" Tulkas: "Wanna see me kill this guy?" *Points at Melkor*

its such an epic ending, all the creatures bound to arda will be given eternal life and live in a paradise with the valar, dwarfs, elves the animals ...etc and one man of course.... the rest of mankind will move on to an unknown destiny only known to iluvatar talk about perfect endings

Why is Morgoth looking just like Sauron?

05:45 I keep coming back for this 😊♥️🌱

This shit's pretty cool dude

Alright ill admit it, I shed a tear by the end of this. Well done, sincerely, this was a pleasure to watch.

This is a really great interpretation Tolkien's work.

I love this... I've always thought the end of the Lord of the Rings was a bit bittersweet, with the elves going away and all, so when I first heard that there was more, I was overjoyed. This made me cry happy tears. :)

Note that Tolkien made his world from a catholic worldview.

that last shot with the music and everything made me emotional! would love to see a full movie based on this story. but the ending has to be the way you guys did it.

This video was eight years ago, it is still very good but I am waiting for a new version made by todays technology. This would be the most exciting thing for me and for millions

You guys should make other Middle-Earth stories. Like the creation of the dwarves and the story of Feanor.

It's sad that this will be far superior to the crap Amazon is about to shovel out

This was beautiful 🌌💓

Better then rings of power

What happened to the step children of Eru-Illuvatar, the Dwarves; who were created by the Valar Aule, called the Smith? They also were to be gathered in the halls of Mandos, to await the day of the last battle and help, Aule to rebuild the worlds anew.

This is like when Heaven and Earth will pass away and God will make all anew.

The one story from Tolkien that we were always told would happen but never got to read ourselves. Thanks for bringing it to life. - Take Care, Beannacht De Duit

I think that Melkor will be killed by Turin in the same manner as Isildur killed Sauron just by mere luck, no powers here.

4:44 me at life

Also when the world burns around you there is always hope as long as Jehovah or Jesus is with us

Utulie'n aure! The day has come, the True Day of the Two Trees rekindled! Thank you for this video.

What bothers me is this video only having 400k views at the moment, especially considering I know just personally I've probably watched it 100k times solo. Much less all the people I've shown

Tulkus doesn’t carry a weapon. He doesn’t need one.

If he returns doesnt sauron come back as well? They best makesure they dont let him escape again

I love how the lore says that the battle will lead to a new world. That's beauty right there

Proving once again you can still lose with air superiority.

Not gonna lie, the ending had me in tears.

I love you. THis is one of the most amazing things ive ever seen.

As someone who loves the silmarillion and Tolkien's Other words, i feel guilty only discovering this just now, after the absolute garbage and waste amazon is producing. I wish these 1 billion dollars went to you, as you make such awe-inspiring videos that portray the story so well! Loved every single second of this and hope you get the recognition you deserve! Edit: i just realized i actually DID know these animations before! Now i know why they seem so familliar. First time i watched this was not so long after the horror trailer was released, but then forgot about this! Glad i did find my way back here then!

Not bad, a wee bit fantasy type version of the book of Revelation.

I have always wondered how the valar fight and what their size is. Is morgoth a few feet tall or that size?

0:45 _..the ancient prophecy spoke of One, who could Destroy or Unite all the clans ..One with power over Life and Death_

But of Men in that day the prophecy of Mandos doth not speak, and no Man it names, save Túrin only, and to him a place is given among the sons of the Valar." - The Later Quenta Silmarillion (History of Middle-earth, volume 11)....btw I like the way you used the Thor end credits music. ;)

This is wonderful! Thanks a lot to the creator. Thanks a lot to sir J.R.R Tolkien

Wow the rebuilding part is extra epic with that inspirational music ♥️🎶

when you showed Eonwe, Tulkas and Turin, goosebumps overcame. Any battle with Tulkas is amazing imo but this is truly the most legendary battle in Tolkien's work, a battle of heroes. War of wrath is the best battle that has happened, Dagor Dagorath is the best battle out of all but obviously based on prophecy by Mandos. Regardless, it's amazing, and any battle with such great force on each side is just too good.

This is AMAZING. I love how you've taken inspiration from Biblical artwork to potray these characters in some shots. Phenomenal! Please do more!

Great video. But i wonder how Morgoth got to be so OP once he escapes from the void, snuffing out the sun and moon. He never exhibited that level of power in the first age. Hell, he got ass whooped by an elf at least once that i can recall.

Wow this was very well done. Excellent job, the music was spot on!
