Treebeard is one of the most melancholic character of the entire legendarium, even more than the Elves. His words convey a sense of loss and nostalgia

[theemissary]

"We are on no one's side, because no one is on our side" Sad words ringing sadder in our world right now :/

[treynienhuser]

The Ents are perhaps the saddest and most angry of all the free peoples. However even with all they endured even when the dam broke and they began their last march even then they were not hasty in their persuit and treebeard had a lot to do with all of that. His song was indeed the song of fangorn.

[joeyboxrox]

Such a sad tale at the end for Treebeard, becoming treeish, while awaiting his beloved.

Great tale Yoystan.👍👍

[ollaniuspius]

Treebeard would honestly be the kind of guy to crack open a cold beer with and just chat with him on a cool spring day.

Though it does make me wonder what an Ent of the Amazon Rainforest would look like.

[wesleywarsmith]

We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa rom!
To Isengard!
Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!

“There is no word in Entish, Elvish, or any of the tongues of Men to describe such treachery…a wizard should know better!”-Treebeard Peter Jackson’s Two Towers

[hound]

I’m on East West Road, toward Weathertop.
“Nobody cares for the woods anymore.” Don’t worry Treebeard, some still do. I plant a couple trees every year.

[timbotook]

Ah Treebeard! Every good climbing tree when I was a small hobbit was known as Treebeard to me. Great look at one of my favourite characters, my friend!

[MarionBaggins]

How is this for Epic Best Friendship: Tolkien based TreeBeard of C.S Lewis, the Creator of Narnia!!!
Treebeard besides being an Ent has great words to live by, "Don't be Hasty" is a personal favorite, and could be applied very much now!!!
Thanks Mellon, for a relaxing video on Treebeard...Until the *3 or more* houses of Men, Marion Baggins Out!!!

[YTisDumb]

Love the Ents. Love Tolkien. I love this channel. Chillest place on YT. Keep it up.

[Redtornado]

One of my favorite characters in the entire legendarium. The entwives disappearing makes me cry every time I get to it in the books. Thank you for the video!

[orrointhewise]

"We have just are not orcs."

The very spirit of the forest, and all that grows. If anyone ever stands besides a giant redwood you'll think of Treebeard and know what it's like to be near something so old and strong and long-lived ❤
I really hope he found the Entwives, or at least found out what happened to them🥺

[TheSaneHatter]

The sheer diversity of these images of Treebeard is staggering, possibly more than any of the Tolkien characters I've seen depicted in pictures.

[Steel-]

Treebeard: “remember only you can prevent forest fires”. I can imagine him saying that lol 😆

[paulwagner]

Finglas and Fladrif, along with Fangorn, were the last of the Ents of the Elder Days. The rest were at least an age younger than those three.

[lawrenceburchett]

One of my favorite characters in the Ring books...

[Valdagast]

I think Tom Bombadil must be _much_ older than Treebeard. Tom was there before the first drop of rain or the first acorn fell. He was there before Melkor came to Arda (which would make him older, in one sense, than the Ainur). Treebeard was old, but not older than that.

[jamesfry]

I like to think that one day when the Earth was remade they found the ent wife's

[brambosch]

You have earned yourself a new guard of gondor, sir king of gondor. I love how script and your voice is really soothing. Keep up the good work
