‘Fly, You Fools!’ Hobbit Fans Will Get a Kick out of this Unexpected Briefing [Video]

Posted December 14, 2012 | Laura Christianson

If you’ve ever slumped in your airplane seat, half listening to the flight attendant explain how to buckle your seatbelt, you’re going to appreciate this video.

Air New Zealand partnered with WETA Workshop to create a hobbit-themed safety video. It contains all the typical safety warnings, but is done in such a creative manner that you can’t help but watch it. All of it.

Well done, my Preciousss!

  1. My fave: seeing the hairy feet, and the goat (or whatever that was) tromping by. Amazing how much more impact this video had on me than all those other boring ones! These guys were having fun- maybe that’s what you’re supposed to do, to impact others!

  3. I know you have fun with what you do, Jennifer. I do, too. You’re right — these Middle Earthers were definitely having fun. A great reminder.

    You were right. I had to watch the whole thing. Now I’m thinking about how to do a video project that would be just as compelling….Thanks for sparking some thoughts….
