About The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival--or enslavement--of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

It feels like WB just uploaded this to troll Amazon... "see, THIS is how you do it!" .... absolutely brilliant :)

[OfficialNataly]

Literally the gold standard of movie production. There’s nothing like The Lord of the Rings trilogy to this day.

[Greenleafff]

Dear Warner Bros, please do not hesitate to put more of these "making of" content. This NEVER gets bored

[kirstenpaff]

These movies are the reason why I got interested in costume design. I remember teenage me seeing behind the scenes footage like this and just having my mind blown at how much detail could go into a piece of clothing.

[JillPantozzi]

I will never get tired of the appendices.

[raeldri]

you know the movies are gold when people watch the behind the scenes multiple times

[alwaysask]

You can feel the passion and the RESPECT for Tolkien's work as she speaks.

Ngila Dickson is a genius. All of these costumes blow my mind with the design, intent and detail, and the sheer number of them is insane. I feel like costumes are generally under rated in films, they really are such an important aspect

[sambesisky]

This lady’s work is absolutely amazing. I love how she explains her intents and her open mind in the collaboration with the main characters. It‘s all so well thought through. What a pleasure to listen to her! Still in love with the production design-unbeaten!

[Jonnie_Rich]

I love how realistic Lord of the Rings was.. the cgi looked just right, very tasteful, done tastefully.. the music was great, the acting.. all of it just a treasure that cannot be upstaged or replaced..

One of the reasons the Lord of The Rings trilogy holds up 20 years later is the huge effort that went into the costumes and armour. It makes the whole thing feel grounded and realistic, even in a fantasy setting.

[sacredgeometry]

I remember seeing the costumes from Return of the King at San Diego Comic Con many years ago. The details, the beadwork, the embroidery, everything was beyond words. The films were brilliant, but the costumes helped make them legendary.

[cinemastudios]

This will forever be the best trilogy of all times💛

[toshiyaar]

So proud of all of the New Zealanders involved in this! The costume design is pure beauty. The respect the costume designer has for the books, Tolkien, the characters, the director & actors shows love, passion for her job is so deep... you know it's going to be special.

Unlike the current production.

[jasonlorphotofilms]

People don't realize just how much work that the costume designers have to do to bring a movie to life. Much respects.

Several years ago, my family gifted me a gray wool fellowship hobbit cloak from the same company that made the NZ gray wool fellowship cloaks for the movie (Stansborough), and I have cherished and worn it during the winter on several occasions while teleworking or just hanging around the house. It kept me warm and stayed on my shoulders (whereas my blanket didn’t lol). I’ve been a huge fan of the LOTR and Hobbit books and movies for decades, so that cloak became one of my most beloved possessions. I have a few other LOTR items I had bought over the years, like the silver chain that Frodo wore on his neck, and the ring itself (with elven lettering that glows bright gold), that I also cherish very much too. I do have a bit of a collectors obsession when it comes to buying replicas and props from my most favorite book/movie series and shows…🥴❤️

[ninjagamer]

Imagine making 19, 000 costumes. I can’t even fathom the work. Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseated, lol. Amazing job to her and the whole team.

[ashishhembrom]

Thank you Peter Jackson, Barrie Osborne, Nigila Dickson and Richard Taylor and the entire department from concept to costume to make this as believeable as possible because it was great!!!

[HausOfMorgoth]

The passion of these people for the lord of the rings is incredible and it makes me happy to see that. It would have been a magical place at that time to work together as a team for this iconic masterpiece.

[hernanmontenegro]

Thank you for having done something with so much love for Tolkien's work.

You can tell it was done out of love, hoping that Tolkien's readers would walk away with a smile on their face.

Thank you for not being like Amazon is.
