Parody video: Who The ‘Ell is Tauriel?

In 2013 a group of Tolkien fans created a Middle Earth parody video about a brave and beautiful woodland Elf named Tauriel. Following the addition of this new character in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit movie franchise, there were many interesting reactions from fans and moviegoers. The merry band called The Esgaroth Three captured the essence of the moment with their confused ditty that begs the question: who the bloody ‘ell is Tauriel?! 




Christopher Winchester and his band The Esgaroth Three, gained recognition from BBC America’s Anglophenia website who called their video “drolly trollish”. The video’s tongue-in-cheek look at negative reactions surrounding Tauriel’s appearance on screen was also described as “delightfully nerdy” by TheOneRing.net, and they would know! The band expressed that the video is definitely a joke and they love Jackson and the Middle Earth characters, new and old.
