They’re will never be people waiting outside to watch a movie like this again. I’m jealous of everyone experiencing that kind of excitement for something

This premiered 6 years ago but I still get teary whenever I watch this video. The magic of Middle Earth 💕

Peter, your little toddler daughter as a hobbit child was by far the most cute and adorable thing in history of cinema, by far!

I enjoy these just as much as the movies themselves! So fun to watch and very educational :)   Hopefully one day i can partake in a fantastic production-team like this!

I saw this movie last night at 10pm with a theater full of people. We were the first in our region to watch it. I had goosebumps well throughout the entire movie. Just seeing the "The Hobbit" fade in at 48 frames in 3D after 4 long years of waiting brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Peter for taking on directing duty for The Hobbit. I could not imagine another director creating Middle Earth as well as you do.

THANK YOU PETER!!! Thank you for making LOTR and now The Hobbit. I'm sure I speak for a lot of fans when I say that these films are so much more than just another great movie. There is no movie that has ever been made that has the same power, majesty and sheer overwhelming beauty as LOTR. The story, the performances, the score and the stunning visuals. PERFECTION. And now through the equally amazing hobbit movies you take us into that world we love so much a second time. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

seeing this pictures in 2014 and feeling the atmosphere let me cry and smile in one moment, because the music and the wunderfull actors and all these happy people out there make me feel home; home in Middleearth.

[bfhjoey]

Why the hell am I crying after seeing this?!
There is so much love and effort put in these movies and to see this huge family of appreciation of this piece of art is simply heart breaking! Take any time you guys need for the 'the desolation of Smaug'!

[starrchasers]

As a fan of the books I felt that PJ did such an AMAZING job with the first part of The Hobbit...Seriously in awe of this man!

[harleyb]

Thank you Peter Jackson, and everyone who worked so hard to bring The Hobbit to life! We love you so much, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot thank you enough!

Ian mckellen is such a treasure, one of the greatest actors to ever walk this earth

Hey Peter, just want to say thank you, sincerely. Been following your films for the last 20+ years and they've made a big impact on my life, I watch through all 6 films multiple times a year. Thank you so much for everything you, the cast and crew have done.

[ysucae]

I adored seeing the 3 LOTR in theaters, but I was crying the whole Hobbit movie. it was so great. This is my childhood. This is way better than I ever imagined.

[thetolkienfreak]

Peter, I know you probably won't see this, but I'd like to thank you so much for doing these vlogs. Thank you so much for creating this movie and allowing us to go to Middle Earth once again. This movie was beyond my expectations, and my jaw was literally dropped the first 10 minutes of the movie. I will most certainly be seeing it again and again until Desolation Of Smaug is released. Thank you doesn't even begin to express my feelings. God bless you, sir.

[MillerThriller]

This movie was simply spectacular! I was shocked to find it was actually over 2 1/2 hrs. long: it felt like it ran about an hour an a half because it was it was so compelling...it's a movie you'll want to see multiple times because it's just so much fun....go see it today! Kudos to Peter Jackson and his amazing cast and crew....they really did themselves proud!

[Shadowkiss]

And this whole event is strangely touching. Well done Mr. Jackson & everyone who participated in this.
