Snowblind's journey into Middle Earth is a bloody one indeed.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North isn’t your average LOTR adaptation.  Even with a story that focuses much of its attention on war and the horrors that lie within that beast, the movies and books have always been rather accessible to even the youngest members of the family.  That’s about to change as it's best the little ones sit out what is shaping up to be the bloodiest vision of Middle Earth yet.
