Summary: Combat killing of fantasy animals.
Like the other films in Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, various animals are depicted as killed in combat situations that are clearly computer animated. Most of these animals are menacing fantasy creatures that accompany or bear human riders, usually killed by spear or bow. Their deaths come quickly with no emphasis on silly blood sprays or gratuitous gore.
