I don't ever remember treebeard saying why the trees are full of hate in that forest. That's why he keeps them sleeping cause they are not evil but they aren't a happy bunch. Lol

It is a great pity that "The Old Forest" in Eriador is completely overlooked by many. Few know that it is in fact, of the same forest as FANGORN, but a surviving Northern outcropping of the one same massive forest which stretched from the area known as the Shire, all the way to the lands by Fangorn.
Old Man Willow is also especially interesting, but again, chronically overlooked as he appears to be some form of Huorn oddity which has turned very dark such that 'he' / it has become sentient, and divisive, in contrast to the other two animated tree creatures namely the huorns and ents. So 'he' in himself, is like a *third* manifestation of being in the tree-based beings. The reasons for this are also intriguing. Thank you though as you have made reference here to others like Old Man Willow, but in Fangorn, of which Treebeard is also aware.
Additional to this is are implied connections as to the possible existence of other huorns, as we know them, similar to Fangorn, but also the possibility that the Old Forest could potentially hold the key to the beginnings of ents and entwives, or some of them at least, and the disappearance of the entwives.
The Old Forest is a primordial forest of unfathomable history equal to Fangorn, but different, and should be looked at with far more scrutiny than it is.
Thus it is hardly surprising that The Old Forest has an equally infamous reputation amongst locals, as does Fangorn; they both are, after all, of the same stock.

Hey @Lord of the Rings Theory it is worth mentioning how the discussion about Celeborn warning the hobbits and Treebeards' surprise at their presence in Lothlórien happened in the book and not in the movie. You've also got a minor issue with audio volume, your voice over is way louder than the video clips'. It would also be worth mentioning how most of western middle earth was covered in a huge forest long ago, of which Fangorn is one of the few remaining parts. Just like the Old forest between the Shire and Bree; it's extremely ancient. Best of luck with the lore videos!
