Well, what else are they gonna do?!

New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. are sticking with Peter Jackson and The Hobbit producers, amid the flick's animal welfare debacle.

As reported earlier, animal wranglers claim 27 animals died during filming. Even Seth MacFarlane has gotten in on the mix!

But Peter Jackson has denied the claims publicly on Facebook and now it's the studios' turn.

New Line and WB issued a joint statement, which reads:

Looks like a can of worms has been opened!

First, we reported that The Hobbit's production company was being accused of 27 animals deaths during film.

THEN, the producers fired back at the claims, denouncing them as false.

NOW, it looks like this relationship has gotten Facebook official.

Peter Jackson has taken to Facebook to help protect his film's rep. He has released a fuller statement along with personal accounts from the owner of the farm where the animals were stored between takes as well as actors in the film.

The statement reads:

The Hobbit production has always instituted swift and immediate investigations in to any concerns of any kind over the treatment of animals under its care. A prompt and thorough investigation into the recent unsubstantiated allegations by the American organisation, PETA, in to the ‘hobbling’ of a horse during the making of The Hobbit was undertaken.

No evidence of such a practice was found to have occurred at any time.

Here is a behind the scenes look at the new movie The Adventures of Tin Tin.

When Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson come together, you just know you're in store for epic movie awesomeness.

The whole movie was shot with live motion capture technology, similar to what was done on Avatar.

Check out the above video for a really cool behind the scenes look at the making of Tin Tin.

They're more realistic that puppet Yoda! LOLZ!

Some cleaver youtube user must have realized that posting something for the kitten lovers AND the Starwars geeks would go viral instantly.

We just hope Peter Jackson doesn't try to rerelease the movie with theses guys.
