The Mewlips

PLEASE WATCH IN "HIGH QUALITY!" My animated film based on J R R Tolkien's poem "The Mewlips", with music and song by Colin Rudd. The Mewlips are nasty creatures that hobbit parents scare their children with, so the kids don't wander off with foolish ideas of adventure. This is a fan film. It is in no way endorsed or approved by the Tolkien Estate or any affiliates. It is a work of love and admiration and will never be used to earn any profits.

Love this! It's absolutely wonderful. I just read this poem to my kids as part of their bedtime stories. Thrilling. :)

I'd also love to download this song, too!

@solarisrose I'm really glad you enjoyed it! It's one of my favourite Tolkien poems -creepy and clever.

I really want to download this song, i need it because i have to memorize this poem for English, and it would be a lot easier to remember in a song

@BigMacko17 I'll try to upload it for you so you can get the recording I used here. I'll send a link to your inbox.

@ecoterpringer13 Thank you so much! :) I like mudskippers too! I wanted one as a pet when i was a kid. They're called "slamkrypare" in my native Swedish.

@Spillage66  Thank you! Actually, almost all of the backgrounds are Photoshop collages of textures and photos. The puppets are then keyed into the backgrounds with Keylight chroma key software. The crypt where the Mewlips sit and count their gold is a miniature set. I make almost all of my backgrounds this way, simply because I don't have the space to store miniatures.

Beautifully done, incredible job! This is true talent and expertise.

Also, I love the mudskippers- nice touch! :)
