Lord of the Rings

I believe Lord of the Rings made a major impact on the movie industry, particularly in the realm of fantasy.

1. Visual affects. These movies set an expectation for the affects surrounding beings and creatures that exist only in the mind and must be slowly brought to life by an animator.

2. These movies also brought fantasy to a place where it was appreciated, and not just for weirdos.

3. Tall elves.

Thank you for your time.
