What Happened to the Horses? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I never noticed that!

It's not unusual for films to have major continuity errors, though.

Yeah, I remember that being remarked upon when the film first came out. That and a few other bloopers.

I think the disappearance of the horses is explained in some recondite, apocalyptic text where it is explained how the cats of Queen Beruthiel came and spooked the horses. It is apparently going to be made clear in a bridge film when the Silm is eventually filmed, the script to be written by the production crew.

Perhaps they all followed Fatty Lumpkin and eventually strayed back to Tom Bombadil.

By George, I think you've got it. Tom will appear in that future bridging film also, hence his disappearance in the LotR trilogy.

Why...then...that means...that the Elves who disappeared at Helms Deep in The Two Towers will magically reappear in the bridge film and aid Thorongil in defeating the Corsairs at the Battle of the Havens in Umbar (which, of course, is another place the Elves couldn't conceivably have been)!

This conspiracy goes far deep than I imagined.

The Templars again, no doubt. Or the Rosicrucians.

Indeed, but what if we had to explain the disapearence of the horses within the framework of the film. . .

What good explanation would there be?
