What a missed opportunity!
Gandalf says in the end: "Fly, you fools!" The greatest slogan ever!

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"

This was made 9 years ago as I first watch this! Amazing! Glad I lived long enough to do so! At 76 years old, that's a feat! Well done!

I'm not ashamed to say that I teared up when Elijah Wood gave the blessing at the end 😢

New Zealand knows exactly what they’re famous for, and they’ve just decided to lean into it. It’s awesome.

As a New Zealander here we still have these awesome safety videos on planes and they change them to something completely new every few months

The flight attendants throwing the lollies from the baskets they use on every flight got me 😂

Seeing the orcs happy and being friends with the rest of the races of Middle Earth is strangely satisfying

Great seeing the wonderful Sylvester McCoy here. I've been a fan of his since I first saw him live on stage with his Travelling Roadshow way back in 1979. Terrific safety film. More should be this inventive.

I love that Taika Waititi is in this lol

This video has more views than the population of New Zealand itself.

Gandalf: "YOU...SHALL NOT...SMOKE ON THE PLANE"!!!

I got a ring on my eye..🥺🤧who's crying of nostalgia too?From southamerica Hugs to all who made possible this HUGE feelings for a place that exist only in our hearts💙🌏😍

Me in an emergency: *draws sword* runs towards the exit shouting: for Frodo

[mcvenne]

I love that all the smiles are genuine. They're not smiling because the director told them to. They're obviously just happy to pretend to be elves for a day. 😄

"If Nazgul attack the plane, please proceed to the next weapons chamber, where the personnel will hand you battle axes, swords, shields and chainmail."

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.

[shewhoknows.]

Why isn’t this shown on all flights? I’d actually watch and listen

[erinmorgan]

They really got Elijah Wood for a airplane safety video
