Ratagast gives excellent safety advice. I could listen to him give tips and guidance all day! The LOTR safety video was shown on many American airlines as well, such as Delta. I loved watching this as we were taxiing down the runway.

My first time to fly Air New Zealand and they were exceptional, including the Cookie Time cookies. Flew from Auckland to Christchurch, to Queenstown back to Auckland all on ANZ. The flight attendants were great and planes were comfortable. Thanks for a good experience.
Peter Jackson looks so smug throughout all this. He's just like "I've successfully transformed an entire nation into a fantasy world. I win"
So much win!!!! LOL!
Peter Jackson DID change the entire economy of a nation with just one movie trilogy. Then he knew that making another would be a really great idea! XD
More like, "I just successfully malformed a single good adolescent fantasy novel into three really shitty movies".
then a second movie trilogy to boost it again. So 6 movies on 1 story line from 4 books not bad.
Yeah, I think that would fall within the criteria for claiming a win.

As far as I know it actually is the safety video right now
That was epic, right up there with Carlton Draughts "Its a Big Ad" greatest comercial of all time.
Next up, Taika Watiti with a Thor Ragnorok theme.
I love how Taika Waititi is gandalf 😂😂😂
Rasmus Edström I kid you not I was watching the video and heard his voice and could not for the life of me work it out. Three seconds later... omg that’s TW!!!
4:20 no he’s “wizard”
IT IS
"Hey min, I'm Gandalf, we about to jump on that enormous bird, wanna come?"
Ratagast gives excellent safety advice. I could listen to him give tips and guidance all day! The LOTR safety video was shown on many American airlines as well, such as Delta. I loved watching this as we were taxiing down the runway.
Better than Jedi Horse
As a Brit who is a huge LOR fan and has an even bigger love for New Zealand after visiting in 2019... I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve seen this video!
Dwarves, orcs and elves take flight once again with the Most Epic Safety Video ever made! #AirNZHobbit ruclips.net/video/qOw44VFNk8Y/видео.html
That's so perfect ! :))
Excellent
Very good
De
Hi OK love
This is by far the coolest airline ad I've ever seen
I love that Taika Waititi is in this lol
he directed it btw
Our dream is to travel to Middle Earth. Legolas serving the beverages? Sign us UP! This is the most epic safety video ever! #airNZHOBBIT
Whaaaatttttt. Best air flight ever.
P.S. I am a huge lotr and hobbit fan and a huge Gardiner fan too!
That was amazing!! Gandalf was wayyy too young lol but that was totally cool and hilarious!
Thee Land of the Long White Cloud welcomes ye. We have all the necessities to to accommodate such honorary guests...I think (o.O...O.o), I'd offer my flat, but that would be weird...yeah.
Awesome safety video . now I want to stay safe. Lol at 13 yrrs of age I love being wild. If frodo is being safe I'll be safe lol
The orc with the air mask on makes it kind of adorable looking, in like a Bane-y kind of way. :)
Elliott?! Didn't expect to see you here.
For you.
Frodo: May the stars guide your way.
Pilot: We don't navigate like that any more...
May the GPS satellites, in the sky just like stars, guide your way.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is really next level
hahaha, this is epic!! I wanna fly to middle earth!! #airNZHOBBIT I'd rather watch this before I fly, very entertaining :)
I WANNA SEE GANDALF!!!!
me too :D
"wanna fly to middle earth"? Air New Zealand will take you there
what the fake
Every three months air nz makes different funny ass safety vids
I'm so happy this safety video exists. You can tell they really got jiggy with it.
The elves handing out the lollies was the best part!! Air NZ lollies are so yum
Saddest
Only the red ones
Let the lolicon begin!
The white ones are my favourite xD
Aurelia Charm green are my favourite
Wow. Just wow. Thank you, this is amazing.
2 tickets to Gondor please........& an elf shuttle to Rivendell, ......Those elves are gorgeous!! Any flights to Mirkwood? Wouldn't mind paying a visit to King Thranduil!.......
*OK BUT WHY IS ELIJAH SO SMALL THO*
Because he's a hobbit, you goof.
This is just a regular day with Elijah Wood and some fat sweaty nerd
@@vorpalweapon4814 JonTron
@Deeth Irteen it is clearly stated in the video he appears as himself and not a hobbit. This is a safety video. You are expected to pay attention to what's in it, rather than posting on the Internet how you're not paying any attention at all.
@@alex_evstyugov it-it's a joke.
OMG, is that Taika Waititi as Gandalf?
Sure is.
At that time he was not so famous... ;-)
Fitting role for him, ”taika” is actually magic in Finnish :)
Benjamin Johansson Well well well, another Finn :D Torille
Korg is Gandalf
I absolutely love how they had Fili's actor in this
Who made this? I need to praise them for their brilliance
Peter Jackson and Air New Zealand, pretty obvious
It says Taika directed in the description. Honestly not surprising. He also played Gandalf
Directed by Taika Waititi. Not suprising.
@@hhubbs nope. Taika did
Taika Waititi is an awesome dude.
this is awesome!! I was smiling the whole time! very very cute & creative. I have no idea why but at the end when Elijah was talking outside frodo's home I burst in to tears. love this & love lotr.
+Jennifer Stanley I feel the same. Epic!
My first time to fly Air New Zealand and they were exceptional, including the Cookie Time cookies. Flew from Auckland to Christchurch, to Queenstown back to Auckland all on ANZ. The flight attendants were great and planes were comfortable. Thanks for a good experience.
Wow! That's a masterpiece! Never thought I'd cry watching the safety video 🥲 So beautiful and touching!
You gotta love anything that has both The Hobbit and Doctor Who(Sylvester McCoy) in it!!!
McCoy was in LotR as well
@@jayfredrickson8632 But he will always be Dr. Who to me. I see McCoy I start looking around for Ace.
@@edwardofgreene Same here. But hes not just a one-role actor...
whoever decided to make this needs a raise. I know he probably already got one but give him another.
We've had one raise yes but what about second raise?
Probably got fired for spending so much money
What a lovely accent
😜
nicholas cave Most people say we sounds weird XD :')
CanisLupis Familiaris - personally, i liked it very much
But it sounds British to me.
+Sennoma Uzanto (Senno) Where the hell did it sound British? Do you even know where Britain is?
I smell so good with my favorite cologne
