I willingly, watched a whole, pre-flight video while sitting in my house, not planning to go anywhere. The world has changed.

"Fly, you fools!" Simply brilliant. I don't care where Air New Zealand flies to, I'm booking them for everything from now on.

looks better than amazon's lotr

and if you are carrying drugs or contraband's YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

Who wants to listen to the average safety video? No one. Who wants to listen to this one? Everyone!

Oh my Dean (Fili) and Peter Jackson did cameos here. This is brilliant, I love how they showed airline safety in a fun way.

I'm liking Air Zealand more and more.

And this is the reason im proud to be from New Zealand xD

This is absolutely the coolest airline video yet! Peter Jackson and his films are some of the best films of all times and it is really great to see New Zealand using their imagery.

This is so awesome!! We need to fly Air New Zeland just so we can get the whole experience. So incredible....I'm so geeking out right now!

I was in a tired and shitty mood when flying from Auckland - Sydney and this is the briefing they play before taking off, made me smile. Best briefing i've seen with the amount of times i've flown. Air New Zealand you never fail to keep up such a fantastic reputation and awesome staff! you make our country proud!

Cool. That's it. I'm going to New Zealand.

There's a lot to be said about this briefing method! I spent 21 years in the Air Force and I received a First Aid briefing back in the 70s. The individual delivering the briefing incorporated a lot of humor into the briefing, he missed his calling, he should have been a stand-up comedian in Vegas! Everyone was quiet and leaning forward in their seat because you didn't want to miss the next punch line. You could hear a pin drop. It's been over 40 years and I still remember that briefing; the only briefing I can say that about. Gen. Patton said that when he wanted his troops to remember a something he gave it to them dirty, well, I can tell you that humor works as well.

i work as cabin crew and i can actually imagine standing in front of passengers for the safety demo and watch an entire cabin smile

Right, that's it! I'm flying to New Zealand!

I watched this the first time 8 years ago, now I came back after reading 'there's a hole in my bucket by Royd Tolkien to see him and his brother Mike in the video, that made it possible for Mike to see New zealand. Still great 💜

Best air safety video ever! I would feel like a million bucks after this!

I laughed until I cried when I first saw this on the flight to NZ, it was a wonderful way to start my visit, I was sorry I could not see it again on the in-flight video service, and have watched it so many times again because it is so warm-hearted and the music is great too, as well as being so funny and cleverly made!

I had a mortal, quaking fear of flying, even with Air NZ. Then I saw this and never felt safer. You could see everyone else around just beaming. It was amazing.

Was just watching this.
