“We are very excited to be a part of this won­der­ful project,” Weta boss Richard Tay­lor said. “The sub­ject mat­ter is pro­vid­ing a fan­tas­tic level of diver­sity for us, allow­ing us to work in the animé world – which is at the other end of the design spec­trum from Middle-earth. Hav­ing had the priv­i­lege of work­ing on such strong source mate­r­ial that The Lord of the Rings offered, it is a priv­i­lege to again be involved in sub­ject mat­ter that has a strong and loyal fan base.”
