My friend Jen (well, one of my friends Jen — I have three…or more) sent me this video, which you’ve probably already seen. It’s a New Zealand Airline safety briefing with hobbits and elves and orcs. And Gollum.
Cute. (And, in one place, with double entendre!)
But I’ll tell you what. Nothing beats the safety video I saw on Pegasus Airlines in Turkey. It was filmed using children of Pegasus employees and is so flippin’ cute!!. Here’s a short version from Pegasus itself:
The whole thing lasts four or five minutes and is cuteness overload. So much better than the dull instructions on American airlines.

Air New Zealand’s safety videos are famous for being quirky and entertaining. Last year they debuted one with Richard Simmons (didn’t think anyone over there knew who he was) that also featured half the crew in body paint (naked, but looking like they were dressed it was super odd). The previous one was the All Blacks rugby team acting as passengers and flight crew.
