[@markbarlow7978]

We truly are blessed down here on the bottom of the planet to have so much variety in such a small land. We have been blessed by the expressions of love from those connected with the Hobbit movies and we want you to know that these are still reciprocated, even after so many years. Tenei te mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa!

[@mir4959]

i am Slovak and that interest me, why it is New Zealand, why not only Zealand? or Zealandia? :D

[@jordaaaany]

Aotearoa is the real name how abut that

[@enzeda]

NZ is often referred to as a small country but geographically it is bigger than Britain and about the same size as Italy.

[@howudoin8282]

@@mir4959 Zealandia is submerged under water. New Zealand is what's left of it. NZ is named after a place in Holland (Zeeland) hence New Zealand just with an a Australia was orginally called New Holland but it didn't stick, like Abel.

Again ??

It's a different one

[@onasrai2638]

They should come to Nepal, it might be abit difficult to shoot but the place is as picturesque as new zealand. There are so many mountains and hills too. Pity they didnt come to nepal.

[@wayneshilcock3027]

Awesome mountains in Nepal, New Zealand is the miniature version of the Himalayas, that was training ground for Sir Edmund Hilary. I think the other problem with shooting at the Himalayas is the altitude as well as getting around anywhere quickly would have been a huge issue. I'm not trying to be bias, but New Zealand I think was the place to make these movies.

@@wayneshilcock3027 since it was also the country of the director and the compatibility of transportation.... i totally get it...
