@@bmaluenda1 Isn't it actually "mellon"? ;) And btw, I just spent 2 hours tweaking my D's Zoom settings before her pitching an important script. There's more to Zoom than meets the eye :)
Organiser: Ok guys, we're gonna have to end it there. McKellen: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Leaving Zoom is just another path. One that we all must take.
My husband said his arm hairs were standing on end. I was cheering and wanting to cry. This trilogy has been with me in my heart since I saw the first trailer. Every year when the movies came out, I would attend the theatre on my birthday (Dec. 22), and the opening music would send shivers down my spine. When it ended, I wondered how I'd make it until next year to see what happens next, even though I've read and re-read the books over and over? The extended versions on DVD/BluRay just magnified the experiences for me.
McKellen is a national treasure and a phenomenal actor who is also a gentleman, He has had such iconic roles in fantastically EPIC films and is a joy to watch again and again. May he make many more films for our viewing. 🌟
I was in Awwwhhh this cought me by surprise! I'm still amazed with the whole cast! It was so cool to see them now and that they are together doing something new! Cheers Gandoff! I gotta get some wine! 🍷🎉🎊😄
Well, Return of the Kings works because Aragorn, Eomir, Elrond, Galadriel and Arwen are all kings and queens of their respective realms, Peregrine is a Thain (Earl), and Samwise is Mayor of Hobbiton.
I'm not even going to lie, when Ian McKellen showed up I started crying. I love The Lord of the Rings so much. It shaped my entire childhood and my life and I'm so happy that they're doing this. I hope this actually stays up on the channel so I have a chance to watch it - I work that day. :( It's also going to be very sad, because Sir Christopher Lee isn't going to be there. He was a major part of the movie and I'm afraid it won't be the same without him, but I'm still glad they're doing it. I'm sitting here literally sobbing my eyes out because I'm so happy. “Well, what can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on much as it has this past Age, full of its own comings and goings, scarcely aware of the existence of Hobbits, for which I am very thankful.” - Gandalf the Grey
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our *friends* and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.! This day we meet online!
I gasped when I saw the video. Stupidest smile on my face when i saw Elijah. Burst into tears when Billy got on. Full on sobbing once Ian said his lines. . . . Just me? thanks 😭
Had me laughing, Orlando is always in a good mood from what they say and there is a story to this. One year before lotr he had to go to surgery for an accident that broke his spine (Fell from a rooftop 4 stories high) They didn't know if he was going to walk again or even mover his arms. One year later he was filming the lotr and even doing his stunts as well as riding a horse. He always said his life changed in that lapse and it is logical tbh.
I childishly giggled when Sir Ian McGandalf popped up and finished that sentence. I love this so much and I'm looking forward to the reunion more than any highschool reunion.
When my brother died two years ago, I decided to give his eulogy. I am a shy person who doesn't do well around people, and has pretty bad social anxiety, so doing this was a big deal for me. I quoted Gandalf's "So do all who live to see such times..." line, being the nerd I am. We were both major fans of Lord of the Rings. I Gandalf and he Legolas. I am trying to live by that quote. Miss you Patrick.
Oh I was already getting happier by the second as this video played, then when Sir Ian showed up saying his Gandalf lines... I now am in desperate need of tissues. Ahhh the emotions with these film and this cast are unbelievably strong for me.
What we don't know, is that he was the one that set up the whole thing. He just made it seem like Josh was asking to do it. Gandalf works in mysterious ways.
I love the cast but my love for LOTR began in 1964 when I first read the Hobbit and then LOTR. I admit, seeing Gandalf at the end was a nice touch. I love the actors as much as I like their characters.
*Samwise* *-* _"Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me."_ *Elrond* *-* _"No, indeed. It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not."_ *_~the fellowship of the ring
This is amazing. Thank you. So many memories came back. Lord of the Rings holds a special place in my heart. I don't think that any movie ever made will equalize this masterpiece which will live through many generations to come. After all these years, having them all together it's such a beautiful thing to see, and having Sir Ian McKellen with that famous quote at the end of the video was well, perfect! Greatest crew ever!
When ian showed up it was the first time i cried in 17 years.... Just kidding, i watched fellowship last week, of course i cried during boromirs death.
About corona: I wish none of this had happened. "So do all who live see such times but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." 😨 😭 😭 😭 They hold up so well. Tolkien is a genius, influencing the world long after his passing. Can't think of anyone other than Ian as Gandalf. He's almost made for that role.
I first read LOTR in 1963. Still have the Ballentine paperbacks. It remains my favorite book, and the trilogy is my favorite film(s). My dear husband died in 2015, and three months later I was touring LOTR locations in NZ. I wouldn’t have survived my grief without seeing that lovely country and met its beautiful people-they gave me such hope for this world being a better place. And during this pandemic they have shown the world what true community is, and what true leadership looks like. Thank you to all involved with the trilogy and the lovely Kiwis who supported it. Thank you, Josh, for creating this worthy benefit. Kia Ora!
I dunno, but the moment Ian Mckellen popped up and uttered those lines, i wept uncontrollably, it just came so timely and very relevant in this very hard times. I was like " I wish this pandemic has never happened" and then on he went with that unforgettable advice to decide what do with the time that is given to us. Struck me right in. It's just like he's right beside me telling those words of comfort. Thank you my dear Gandalf! 😭😭
@@akinofujiko interesting that so many of us had a similar reaction, in my case it's because hearing Gandalfs voice made me wish he was in charge of Middle Earth today.
Josh Gad, you (and those who you invite) have made me SO FRIKKEN HAPPY this past month!!! I cannot thank you enough for such opportunities and for your appreciation of FANDOM.
I was thinking of Ian's lines to describe this current situation, and there he is. Amazing. This show needs to be feature length. I could watch those guys all day.
In absolute tears of joy and happy memories. I was in NZ just after they finished up the movie, i met some of the behind scenes folks... and travelled for 2 years, the whole length of NZ and was in love all along the way, i even fell pregnant and had my son KIWA there in the south island... a place i will always hold in my heart and Peter Jackson, you couldn't have honoured the land of the long white cloud any better, there is no movie like it ever... in the world... you all made pure magic come to life.. one love KIA KAHA
The books shaped my adolescence and the movies were everything to me in my 20s. I’ve watched this five times and still tear up when Ian starts speaking. I’m so excited for this!!!
Omg! I can't wait for May 31 to come! My favorite trilogy of all time! Aragorn, Arwen, Boromir, Eowyn, Gimli, please let them all be there for the reunion!
I am watching this for comfort, because I have just learned that our dear Bilbo Ian Holm passed away today :.(! Thank you, dear Ian! May the grey rain-curtain of this world roll back for you now, may it all turn to silver glass, and then, may you see it!
I let out the biggest squeal when Orlando popped up! Also, Ian McKellen! Nearly 20 years later and my admiration has yet to waver. Question: Will Viggo, John and Sean be there too?
Sir Ian McKellen wasn't late, nor was he early. He arrived precisely when he meant to
Now now, that man is a knight of the realm and rightly so
Sir Ian McKellen is a national treasure and indeed as you say has impeccable timing
Exactily
Both this video and this comment made my day xD

Ahhhh I'm tearing up remembering that conversation between Pippin and Gandalf. 🥺
Well said Sir! No matter what what happens!

Awesome dude awesome
Said this to my teacher when I was late, didn't end well
Who else got chills when Mckellen read that line!?
Nefarious Nerd absolutely! I love him so much!
Seriously. Goosebumps all over the place, teary eyes. My God, what a legend.
TEARS
dude i started crying for some reason

Dont mind me. Im off to watch the trilogy. Again.
At any given moment around the globe there is someone sitting down and watching the Trilogy .. And that is totally fine
Go enjoy the epicness
Oh boy,another twelve hours.
Extended editions!
Count me in!
Same aha
When I heard Ian as Gandalf, I literally got goosebumps.
Literally huh. Not figuratively?
we all did
I was like, "whatever, not a big deal", then he came on and recited the line and..... goosebumps. lol
True fans, me too!
Same. My hair is still up.
I don’t know why, but this really reminded me of the dwarves showing up at Bilbo’s house
You and me both 🤣
I agree completely that was great
Sean Astin and Elijah Wood...AT YOUR SERVICE!
lol i love this comment section; never have i seen so many lord of the rings fans in one place! this does put a smile on my face
I'm really hoping that's next.
Elijah is the only one who hasn’t aged. Coincidence. Think not!
Filius Reticulum Peter did give him the ring, so I think not!😏
Well he *does* have the original One Ring from the cast so you are probably right :D.
Uou that's true!!! (●´⌓`●)
He will live to be 111.
Well he was only like 20 when the movies were filmed, he's a bit younger than the rest of them
The way McKellen breaks into a smile after delivering his line is EVERYTHING....
McKellen is a national treasure and a phenomenal actor who is also a gentleman,
He has had such iconic roles in fantastically EPIC films and is a joy to watch again and again.
May he make many more films for our viewing. 🌟
chills. literally, chills.
Such a good moment. He knows its impact. He knows the fandom and the book enough to knows its impact.
Legit started crying when Ian McKellen appeared and said his line 😭
i screamed of emotion, i mean, camon is Gandalf and saying one of his most famous lines, is like WOW!
Yuck, act like a man
me too!
Me too. I love how well Ian gave life to Gandalf. He is a legend
As did i
Elijah's smile when Ian appeared is so real, and everyone's excitement too. You can always tell they all have a thing for each other
It's like when Sir Ian McKellen appeared, everyone just sparked! I bet they all love him, you know!
All recognize the greatness, I guess.
@@Paula-zn6sk He's like the cool grandpa of the gang
@@Paula-zn6sk Exactly, and like someone said in the comments, he does feel like a cool grandpa, but yeah also respect.
When McKellen showed up I almost screamed.
Almost.
I did lol
Yes, me too!!!
I cried. 😅
I screamed and jumped. 😅
I actually bit my hand to avoid doing so
Rest In Peace Christopher Lee. Your talent in film and on stage will be remembered.
His behind the scenes and full commentary tracks for the extended editions are some of the most amazing things.... it’s sad knowing he won’t be here.
Count Dooku. D:

He’s dead, he didn’t read this.
Who?
Are we sure Elijah isn't an elf? He hasn't aged a day...
He kept the One Ring, must be why! :P
He's 39 he is ageless
He’s always looked super youthful. I adore him :)
He's so dreamy and amazing. And yes, it is totally the Ring.
No he isn´t elf... it is The Ring. He still secretly keeps it .
Sir Ian McKellen doesn't have internet, he uses a Palantir. We do not know who else may be watching.
Hackers.
“Yes, but what about a second reunion?”
I don't think he knows about second reunion.
Or what about afternoon tea? Oh wait nvm.
🍏 🍎
PIPPIN!
“Elevensies? Lunchen?”
Did I scream every time someone joined the call? Yes. Do I regret it? No. Am I also now sobbing? Of course I am.
Did you tune in this morning? It was glorious!
Totally had happy tears when Ian gave his speech
When Sir Ian McKellan arrives quoting Gandalf. My whole body smiled
Saaaaaame!

Ian McKellen has conquered ageing. He is now one with time
Never have I heard something so ridiculous yet so accurate at the same time
@@wiggyjunior you mean in the way he looks older every year?
well, ha HAS walked this earth for three hundred lives of men ...he ain't lookin bad at all
He reached the level cap.
I truly believe this.
Should be named "The Return of the Fellowship"
Sean Bean has been murdered...
Well, Return of the Kings works because Aragorn, Eomir, Elrond, Galadriel and Arwen are all kings and queens of their respective realms, Peregrine is a Thain (Earl), and Samwise is Mayor of Hobbiton.
Or A Long Expected Party. I know they already did that with the hobbit bts but...
"Two Hours: The Return of the Fellowship"
Victor Comas OH YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS
McKellen spoke that line with more emotion and power than in the movie. He's still got it
Goosebumps when Sir Ian dialled in precisely when he meant to.
+ music
i cant believe he heard what frodo said before he even was on the call
Kristoff Seisler Probably used a Palantír.
I JUST SCREAMED LIKE A NAZGUL
Ok, that doesn't sound healthy.
I cried!! Ir brought me back YEARS!!
Juan M. Mejías M. 😂😂😂
Ditto
that was really funny!
I cried like a small child and screamed every time someone else joined the call. Bless Liv Tyler's adorableness. Ugh my heart can't handle it.

I am still sobbing ... an awesome universe with incredible figures... Just counting down the minutes for this to happen
Yup, also crying... and laughing. (at myself for crying.)

Crying and laughing! My reaction....
“It comforts him.”
“It comforts me.”

Little nod to fanfic fanon there.

Oh my, the tears in my eyes listening to the wise words of Gandalf himself, Sir Ian McKellen! AMAZING!
I've watched this more times than I can count just to see them together I can't wait for Sunday and Sir Ian McKellen
But now, something is about to happen that has not happened for an Age.

same here. I'm not sure I can explain that. Do you?
True. It was just what we need in this uncertain times
I could not hold back my tears also... Come on! Its Gandalf!
Unlike the others, Ian McKellen wasn't already in the zoom chat, he really is a wizard.
Him and P-Stew.
What we don't know, is that he was the one that set up the whole thing. He just made it seem like Josh was asking to do it. Gandalf works in mysterious ways.
He doesn't need to get ready. He is ready at the exact time that he want to be u.u
When Ian McKellen turned up at the end, their faces were priceless... They clearly didn't expect that... 😅👏
I almost teared up when Sir Ian appeared. Growing up, these movies meant a lot to me.
"Never grow up, never surrender! BANGARANG"
I love the cast but my love for LOTR began in 1964 when I first read the Hobbit and then LOTR. I admit, seeing Gandalf at the end was a nice touch. I love the actors as much as I like their characters.
this, is how one man made many a man weep in the year 2020
“I wish none of this had happened.” I almost started crying in the club.
Cry, you fools.
Ian delivers his with as much professionalism and gravitas as the film and then casually goes right back to his wine. That is serious talent.
Can't blame Orlando Bloom for making sure that he was actually, in fact, Orlando Bloom.
He is literally his character from Extras but in real life. Made me laugh a lot.
I am SO looking forward to this!!
Best movies ever made. Ever! 🥰
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." Love, love, love!
I'll second that...............when Ian Mckellan showed up, chills went down my spine. In a good way. Lol
I could listen to him read a dictionary and I'll be spellbound the ENTIRE time!
Josh: We have another person joining us now!
John: THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE
Anyone else find they involuntarily tear up when the LOTR music is accompanied by Sir Ian speaking as Gandalf?
Omg! Omg!! Omg!!! Squeeeeee!!!
Also, Elijah's smile when Ian pops in and flawlessly delivers his line.....sigh. I love these guys!!!!

I was in NZ just after they finished up the movie, i met some of the behind scenes folks... and travelled for 2 years, the whole length of NZ and was in love all along the way, i even fell pregnant and had my son KIWA there in the south island... a place i will always hold in my heart and Peter Jackson, you couldn't have honoured the land of the long white cloud any better, there is no movie like it ever... in the world... you all made pure magic come to life.. one love KIA KAHA
Sir Ian McKellen brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely love this man for his immense talent :)
The books shaped my adolescence and the movies were everything to me in my 20s. I’ve watched this five times and still tear up when Ian starts speaking. I’m so excited for this!!!
The book and the films shaped my childhood and early adolescence.

You're not alone!!!
@@jackalope_hunter the extend versions are the online existing, at least for me.

Sean Bean: One does not simply reunite the fellowship on zoom
"please please please don't let anything happen to sean, this guy always dies"
Omg! I can't wait for May 31 to come! My favorite trilogy of all time! Aragorn, Arwen, Boromir, Eowyn, Gimli, please let them all be there for the reunion!
They're all here.
And of course the great Elrond

I am watching this for comfort, because I have just learned that our dear Bilbo Ian Holm passed away today :.(! Thank you, dear Ian! May the grey rain-curtain of this world roll back for you now, may it all turn to silver glass, and then, may you see it!
I let out the biggest squeal when Orlando popped up!
Also, Ian McKellen!
Nearly 20 years later and my admiration has yet to waver.
Question: Will Viggo, John and Sean be there too?
it can't possibly be 20 years ago! oh my word TWENTY YEARS AGO!
Yes those three will also be on there. So excited!!
@@a_zawodny I SO WANT THE WHOLE BROTHERHOOD (sorry for caps)
What do you mean, "nearly 20 years later?" Oh...what the-- I'm old, Gandalf.
I totally squealed like a teenager, too!!!
