Watch a Hobbit-Themed Air Safety Video From New Zealand

It looks like Air New Zealand is taking advantage of the buzz around the third and final "The Hobbit" movie coming out later this year: the company has made a new air safety video, and it's entirely Hobbit-themed.
In the video, diminuitive travelers run through airports and past a giant Gollum, and we're taught all about how to fasten our seatbelts from a nice Elf lady from Rivendell.
There are some Uruk-Hai, an appearance from Frodo and Bilbo's sword Sting, and even a cameo from Elijah Wood himself!
"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" is due out on December 17th, and is highly anticipated from fans of the entire "Lord of the Rings" movie franchise.
The movies have grossed impressive amounts of money, but they come at a cost: "Battle of the Five Armies" reportedly ended up with a budget of about $745 million!
