Thank God, Hobbits can now travel safely. Just before takeoff Air New Zealand is showing its passengers a video inspired from “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first part of the trilogy “The Hobbit,” itself derived from the “Lord of the Rings” series.

What’s next? Will Air France use the Triplets of Belleville in its own safety announcement?
