Inspired by the Hunt for Gollum 2 day fiasco (I suppose it wasn't really a fiasco, genuinely happy they came to such a quick resolution, I will give it to them), I noticed a bunch of people said they'd never heard of the Hunt for Gollum fanfilm and was surprised! So here are some more tolkien fan films on youtube that you can watch right now! A friend of mine coalated all of these for our server and we binged them all, which was a really great time and I would heartily recommend.

Obviously, first; The Hunt for Gollum, a 40min shortfilm pretty much entirely about Aragorn, you guessed it, hunting gollum. But there's also a few neat interactions with other characters too and the production is of an extremely good quality for what it is.

Then you have Born of Hope, from the same company as hunt for gollum, this one focuses more on Arathorn and Gilraen's relationship and Aragorn's tumultuous birth. It's very depressing but I also really liked the casting of Arathorn and is worth a watch.

Horn of Gondor is a short 20min fanfilm with a pretty inventive premise, focusing on Borondir's in-universe fabled ride to deliver Steward Cirion's request for an alliance with the ancestral rohirrim to Eorl their king, thereby saving Gondor from defeat. I find it a little lacklustre and it doesnt really measure up to it's concept but the attempt is still admirable and there is some real and clear passion behind it so still worth a watch.

Wings Over Arda is, gonna be honest, my favourite one of the lot. It is an hour long and extremely ambitiously attempts to feature events from Tuor's meeting with Ulmo, to the attack of the Sons of Feanor upon Doriath. It essentially fails to live up to the auspicousness of any of these things, but it is EXTREMELY earnest and the casting for Dior in particular is now just burned into my brain. It feels kind of like it was made in the 1980s too which I just love for a film that came out 2 years ago. It's really fun, give it a go.

One of the Seven is more of a hobbit movie fanfilm, referencing PJ's Thranduil backstory of losing his wife and the hunt for her jewels, but also involving dwarves and elves bickering over unspecified rings. It has the brightest colour pallette of all the films which is a visual relief and all the costumes are really detailed, mainly because I suspect this was made my cosplayers who just had some time on their hands. It's fun and campy and only 25mins so fully digestable, even if it's a little dwarf-ist.

Lastly there's The Peril to the Shire, even though cards on the table I have not watched this one. It is three hours long and was made by a bunch of homeschooled children somewhere, featuring entirely child actors and about Rosie Cotten defending the Shire pre-scouring. From what I've seen, the kids are having a great time doing it, but the audio is also really hard to hear clearly so this is more of a challenge than a suggestion.

Dear Friend - An Arcane Story by AXL99

Jessie Lam, an accomplished concept artist and storyboarder who has worked on Invincible among other shows (remember the "that's the neat part, you don't" memes? They boarded that) has just released their ten minute Arcane fan-film, composed of immaculately crafted storyboards, exploring the feelings and relationships of Jinx, Vi and Caitlyn.

I would like everyone to watch it, please. I would like ALL OF YOU to watch it. Comment on it. Like it. I need you to do this favour for me.

I'm sorry, but this image from High Ground Animation from their much anticipated Tukk Tales project just screams,

Checklist: "Tukk, why did you issue an 800000 credit charge to the Republic?!?!" 💢

Tukk: "Check, I'm a material trooper." ✨️

Checklist: "I'm asking for a transfer!"

I'm so excited for this short film, I literally don't have the words. Which is saying a lot when you take into account that I'm a seasoned writer.

I'm so happy that HGA has joined the Tumblr Verse.

So for those of you in the YouTube Transformers community, might be aware of the Transformers Ascension series. And it’s connected projects like Broken Mirror. Or the recently released Shattered Glass movie.

Normally I provide voice work (Ironfist, Shockwave, Kup, Slicer, Starscream. The list goes on and on) and help cast or revise scripts, for these projects.

But with the Shattered Glass film, our boss (Crosshairs Productions) Joe, wanted to let me flex my artist talents and try something visually different.

What you are seeing above are the six original art pieces I created, for the shattered glass megatron, flashback sequence. If you haven’t had a chance to watch the film. It’s an absolute labor of love from everyone involved, charming and worth your time.

And I’m not just saying that because I had a hand in casting and production. I actually held out myself on seeing as much of the production as I could. To allow myself to go in with fresh eyes.

Shadow the Hedgehog fan-film - Project Shadow

This fan-made movie was inspired by, yet made totally unrelated to, the upcoming Sonic 3 movie. It was made by the independent Brazilian crew of Youtube channel João Felipe Santiago, and posted to youtube in December 16th 2023. It's 26 minutes long.

The channel posted the original Brazilian version in Portuguese and an International version in English. You can watch it below in your preferred language - both have subtitles in both languages, as well.

Original Version:

International Version:

It's worth the watch, it definitely raised my standards for the Sonic movie by a bunch. I plan to make a detailed review sometime, because this crew, these fans, really cared and loved the source material. I'm impressed and emotional. And considering I'm from Brazil, I'm also very proud.
