Allen Lee and Christopher Tolkien on Ents in the Movies
I was wondering if anyone knew if Christoper Tolkien or Allen Lee made any comments either positive or negative on the dedication of the Ents in the movies?

I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late.”

I don't think that Christopher Tolkien had any positive things to say about any aspect of the films. Alan Lee, of course, was one of the designers responsible for the look of the films, including the Ents.

I was watching the extras to the two towards yesterday and it it had nothing about his involvement in the artwork of the ents. Of course that does not mean he was not involved either.
