The visual effects for LOTR were made on Win98 and used simulated actors for the VFX effects for Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith.
We're so lucky that those movies were made at the only time it was ever both culturally and technologically possible to make them right.
Not only that, but they absolutely landed the perfect cast members across the board. Which is quite a miraculous stroke of luck all on its own.
