[@hobet]

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

[@CziffraTheThird]

Crying right now.

[@albastruvaly4268]

Yessss😭😭

[@PleaseNThankYou]

I'm teary in mid 2023 😊

[@LCdrDerrick]

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

[@drbonemaster2]

She was recruited by Epstein

[@MARYWTHER]

Idk, Sean Astin's daughter as Elanor was cute too!

[@WhoamI27676]

How about Baby Groot? I think that's the most adorable thing😍yeah...I know Lotr was way before the Guardians of the Galaxy movies...

[@evooff]

@@WhoamI27676 That's not a real thing. You are assinging value to a fake artificial object.

[@colors6692]

Brown nose much! Cringe!

[@tseimucS]

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

[@alexanderlinderson2655]

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!

[@nabilghalib5945]

Hello 9 years later. Did you achieve your dream

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

That just put such a huge smile on my face :D

[@melinae.3506]

I'm fallen in love with middle eath!!! New Zealand is so amazing!!! Beautiful, just beautiful!!!

[@Mozkits]

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.

[@DJHEADPHONENINJA]

48fps is trash doe, lmao

[@Valentina-uc2sr]

@@DJHEADPHONENINJA so you're another one of these assholes who are bringing down the mood just for fun and are forgetting this was shot 8 years ago

[@85GMD]

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.

[@7starrchasers]

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!

[@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'!

[@Oldfool1]

Peter is so down to earth it's inspiring

[@LikeFreelySnowflakes]

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.

[@harleyb1775]

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!

[@sleepy.t5307]

I love how elijah just strolls around

[@Torwin2120]

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.

[@MillerThriller66]

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!

[@xxsupersaiyansuttonxx3634]

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

[@caroldelosangeles3621]

Just want to Say thank YOU Peter and all the Team and despiste Tolkien's son ungreatfull words..You have really honored our dear FATHER Tolkien and all the fan family international fellowship Will always be gratefull with you. Hugs from southamerica

[@nomadcookie]

Literally cried my eyes out on this one. I'll be at that red carpet soon, showing you my support. Until that time, remember, "Not all who wander are lost."

[@Nuukify]

I just saw the movie today. It is so amazing how they have been able to capture the spirit of the book, but also make a few twists here and there like they did in LOTR, and tie it together so beautifully with Lord of the Rings. The humor too was íncredible. The 48FPS drew such a perfect line between a normal movie and real life footage. I have never been so immersed in a film before. Thank you so much Peter Jackson and everyone who have been working so hard to make this movie.

[@thetolkienfreak96]

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.

[@AnUnstoppableForce01]

What a spectacular film. Peter Jackson is even responding to people on KZbin. There is nothing more heartwarming than a brilliant director who actually connects with his or her fans.

[@TSCStudio]

Only these productions can bring tears to my eyes. And feeling a overdose of bliss while watching the movie itself.

[@ET-en8gi]

Truly a piece of world history, this. Forever in our hearts. ❤

[@YaraRel]

I like this diarys and i can watch it every day.)

[@ShieldMaiden41]

To Peter, Philippa, Fran, the entire cast and crew, every person that made this movie and the return to Middle-Earth possible, thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. I was able to see the movie in HFR at midnight, and it was absolutely stunningly beautiful. The entire theatre cheered when it began, countless times during, and again when it ended. Everyone loved it. We all can't wait until Desolation of Smaug, and know it will be just as fantastic. Thank you.

[@Shadowkiss1]

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

[@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.

[@Lilredfs]

Hi, my name is Farida, I am 11 years old. I absolutely love and adore The Lord Of The Rings and The hobbit, I wish I could have been at the premiere but I couldn't make it, I just want to say thank you for making these blogs and doing terrific work to entertain us all! Take care, best wishes!

[@Sarapontmercy]

The movie was beautiful. One of the best experiences of my life. Thank you so much Peter Jackson and all the cast! And thank you for all the videos you posted along the way. You guys worked so hard and indeed more than delivered. Please keep posting videos and show us insects as such :') Thank you!

[@kareaux]

I wasn't even here but this video brought me to tears, haha. It's so beautiful to see the fans, the crew, so many people reunited by one universe (bound by one ring, if I may say) they're sharing and loving all together. I can't wait for next year.

[@reasontofreak]

I was in Auckland during this premiere and it just totally killed me that I couldn't be there :( Hopefully I'll make it to Wellington this year for The Desolation of Smaug!

[@CziffraTheThird]

Battle of The Five Armies!?!?!

[@EZEKIEL11.12]

Did you make it?

[@tmcyt3037]

did you make it?

[@JeanGionet]

Peter Jackson is an amazing man. I would love to meet you one day kind sir!

[@cherylphelan2422]

In college we first met The Hobbit in 1967. Thank you to cast, crew and Peter for making it better than we could ever imagine. We love you all for that.

[@Ironwill_Games]

I didn't dress as a Dwarf, or an Elf or even an Hobbit. I didn't wait in line for hours or day. I didn't buy any merchandise or t-shirt or hat! The only thing I did was read and love the book and then buy the ticket. Thank you Peter for the most awesome and inspirational experience in cinema I've ever had! Always nice to go back to Middle Earth and visit old friends! Great movie... and I cannot wait for the sequels!

[@smolhummingbird]

Peter Jackson is so amazing, I am glad he recognized us fans who stayed out all night for the red carpet, it means a lot. :)

[@x10Rose]

I cried when the movie ended! A year is WAY TOO LONG TO WAIT! But thank you, Peter Jackson! You are amazing and you have done it again!

[@DimensionalTrickster]

Thank you so much for posting this blog, I am a film student that aspires to one day reach your level. Your blog has been insightful and entertaining. I can't wait for the next video blog, I can't wait to see what I'll learn and see next!

[@ZBeckx]

I want to let you know Mr. Jackson, I spent my time in the theater crying because it was such a wonderful film.

[@Amyisapimp]

PETER JACKSON YOU BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT MAN! MUAH MUAH MUAH! You have, once again, enchanted me with your absolutely enchanting movie!

[@danieladiazagurto8599]

I can't believe I ended up crying. The Hobbit is my favourite book EVER and see all the heart and soul you and everybody poured into the movie just made me very emotional. Thanks for everything ♥ Greetings from Chile, the country that almost made it hahaha.

[@tomyboy342000]

It's been so awesome to have been able to be updated by Peter and his filmmakers with these blogs, every so often. Makes those not there during the events more a part of the makings of the films, and all the hard work involved. Hats off to them all.

[@tinyificationable]

Simply amazing, this is a movie for the ages. The best visual effects, sets, acting, camerawork and directing I have seen in a movie since The Lord of the Rings. Bravo Peter, Bravo!

[@joewilson9559]

You don't see this much devotion and dedication to the fans and supporters at any other movie premiere! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much Peter Jackson!

[@rocketeer6713]

2021 checking in! What a once in a lifetime event! So beautiful to see everyone come together to create something truly special.

[@HuffDaddyYT]

Why can't these guys be as popular as the jersey shore people? They deserve it far more.

[@sergionoah236]

They already are.

[@Dia.Dancing]

Oha das "mehr als kino" war ja mal voll gut! :D

[@danield.8615]

I still watching it with wet eyes. A masterpiece.

[@Cheriec11]

How could it possibly be MORE based on the book than it is. PJ has done an outstanding job presenting the story so far.

[@Blodarn]

I just saw the movie ! Thank you Peter and all the members of your team for this great masterpiece !

[@QuirkyIceHeart]

SO SO unbelievably cool. Wish I was there!

[@kerlowk]

Thank you, Peter, thank you very much! I felt like I was a child again, back into the the world of wonders and magic. And I cried while watching this vlog, I don't even know why c: Thank you and all the cast! You're making our world better!

[@infinitystatemusic1405]

"helllloo all precious" , ahahaha, oh andy!

[@billlinder7355]

This series of movies will shine for many decades. I think beyond the durability of the most durable of all, The Wizard of Oz. I can't wait to see it again for probably the fifth time. WoW.

[@jainfinity4918]

Thank you peter for everything ❤

[@Go3tt3rbot3]

Thank you Peter & Crew!! Thank you!!!

[@fcordobaot]

Peter the idea of the production diaries has been the best so far... All the fans are very thankful for having the opportunity of watching all the process, the 266 days of filming and now a new masterpiece in the history of Cinema. Thank you. Going to watch it in HFR 3D! And remember this 48fps is a small step for Gollum a huge change in world perception of Cinema.

[@jackg146]

This is such a heartwarming video, its so nice to see the cast and crew being so normal and grateful to the fans!

[@Tonkiainen]

Peter Jackson is one of the best people in the business. He's a real, genuine good guy. Like no other, all good to him!

[@pelecyphora1]

Thank you Mr Tolkien for an epic .Thank you peter jackson and crew for briing this epic story to the masses. The best drama action ever.

[@angqlicx]

Every time i hear that shire/hobbit theme music, i break down. Honestly, that music is so beautiful, i get transported to rolling green hills of the hobbiton, the white walls of Minas Tirith, the magical forest of Mirkwood as soon as i hear one note. Then i realise i cant go to middle earth 😭. Great job Howard Shore on the amazing music and great job to the cast and Peter Jackson that made the LOTR/The Hobbit movies unforgettable! Those movies have changed so many lives and inspired so many imaginations!!!

[@botonramz]

Thank you Mr Peter Jackson....THANK YOU

[@tigerentin]

IT`S AMAZING!!!! Thank you Peter for all this wonderful moments on you tube and in Middelearth.

[@Juliette_Emelie]

This makes me tear up!! I can only imagine the overwhelming feeling of joy and gratefulness

[@ne0shane06]

this movie is so beautiful. thank you peter jackson!! :)

[@Tirithedain1]

I can't believe how much work is put into this project... 24/7 for years....

[@vgarza1972]

One most important person missing there RIP Ian Holm Bilbo Baggins) our lives were so much more full of happiness when u were here!!

[@dragonking1097]

Mr. Jackson you are far the greatest director in the world. I love how you directed these films. I had a few ideas in making movies myself. And I every film you make, you always leave them wanting more. You are the greatest.

[@Tawadeb]

I was at this premiere thanks to my friend. I got my copy of the Hobbit signed by everyone. All the cast and crew were very nice. I’ll always remember PJ having 6 bodyguards

[@silvercoco6464]

Peter! I saw the movie today evening in India and I just want you to know that I loved it and it was everything I expected and more. THANKSALOT :D

[@robdeledge]

Peter Jackson is a genius. Every other film I have seen that has been adapted from a book has left me disappointed that certain parts wren't done exactly as was in the book, but Peter created Middle Earth exactly as it was in my head as I read J.R.R Tolkiens masterpieces. Well done Peter. You were born to make these movies.

[@pre0wned]

Thank you, and all the crew!

[@OFaruk58]

Just finished watchiing the Hobbit movie for the first time. And directly after that I am watching this.

[@darthpirate101889]

To Peter and Everyone involved in the making of the films, Thank you so much!!!!! I can't wait to see Desolation of Smaug's trailer!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheShnitzel]

Wow, I have a HUGE smile smeared all over my face right now. I'm so jealous of all these people and I wish I was there!!

[@ShannonIonaFaith]

I'm so thankful for these little videos!

[@gmmg93]

Thanks Mr. Jackson it was an awesome movie!

[@yiosmukantagara]

I just got back from seeing it. I loved it! Thank you Mr. Jackson for doing these movies.

[@darkroselight]

Thank you Peter and cast/crew!!!! for the wonderful movie and the long awaited return to Middle Earth. See you next year for part 2.

[@NewZealandFan2]

Thanks Mr. Peter Jackson, all of the Hobbit-crew and all of this incredible actors, thanks for this amazing film!!!

[@Punki80]

The only thing that bothers me about all the films, including LOTR, is that I feel Ian Holm isn´t getting enough credit, if any. He is hardly in any making of scenes and I have not found a single interview on youtube with him about either trilogy. He´s being left out, makes me really sad. As if he was no member of the cast at all, they all seem to forget about him. He was sooo good, such a sweet older Bilbo.

[@sticklebrix1756]

To be fair there are virtually no interviews of him fullstop. There is one 90 sec video of him talking about Hamlet and that is pretty much it, I guess he shuns the limelight and values his privacy.

[@JaneA544]

Sadly this amazing man is no longer with us but what joy he gave to so many people 😢

[@Cheriec11]

Went to the Midnight show on Thursday. I never stay up that late but for your move I did. And it was sooo worth it! It was also my very first 3D movie ever. Now I want to live in Bag End. Can't wait for the second installment and am very much looking forward to the upcoming production videos.

[@Heartwing13]

Thank you, Mr. Jackson.

[@taylorp0rk]

I saw the film yesterday, and it was wonderful. The visuals were stunning, the acting was brilliant, the score was amazing and i just loved it.

[@GhostIntheShodow]

Thanks for posting this. As one of the many who couldn't make it on the day, it is good to see what went on behind the scenes. I all those who put the day together, thank you.

Just want to say a HUGE thanks for all these video Blogs, As a young film maker i feel like i was a part of this amazing journey. Being included in the film making process like this is a real blessing for us starting out in the industry. I cant wait to follow the blogs for the second film. GREAT JOB ON A SPECTACULAR FILM.
