<P> In Peter Jackson 's films The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers ( 2002 ) and The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King ( 2003 ) , Treebeard is a combination of a large animatronic model and a CGI construct ; his voice is performed by John Rhys - Davies , who also portrays Gimli . In The Two Towers , Merry and Pippin run into the Fangorn Forest in an attempt to escape a band of Uruk - hai and orcs that kidnapped them . There , they are pursued by one orc . Treebeard awakens , crushes the orc , and takes Merry and Pippin to the `` White Wizard '' ( later revealed to be a revived Gandalf ) to see if they were `` little orcs '' or not . Assured that they are not orcs , Treebeard keeps the hobbits with him for safety . The Ents at the Entmoot decline Merry and Pippin 's request for help . Treebeard is carrying the Hobbits through Fangorn Forest when Pippin gets an idea : he asks Treebeard to carry them toward Isengard , because that is the `` last place '' Saruman would look for them . When Treebeard gets close to the forest 's edge , he sees the devastation wrought by Saruman 's Orcs . The trees have all been hacked down to serve as fuel for Saruman 's war machines . In anger , Treebeard summons the other Ents , who emerge from the forest . They attack Isengard and flood it . Treebeard , in addition , sends the Huorns to attack Saruman 's Orcs as they retreated from Helm 's Deep . In a deleted scene , Treebeard mentions to the hobbits about the Entwives and how they literally were lost . He also rescues them from a tree that holds them captive ( similar to a scene in the novel of The Fellowship of the Ring , with Tom Bombadil ) . </P>
