gotta admit that it took til nearly the three minute mark before i smiled. I think that pretty much sums up kiwi's in general - hard to win over :D

I was incredibly surprised that I only recognised one actor too (aside from gollum and PJ). We have a limited acting pool, actors generally get 'recycled' around tv shows/commercials ;)

Also, Air NZ update these sooooo often. Are they trying to tell us something about their planes? Are they powered by.....magic?

*giggles at the "hard to win over' bit*

I believe they're doing this as a promotional tie-in for the new Hobbit movie coming out in December.

As for the lack of recognizable actors, I wonder if maybe some of the people are actually Air NZ employees? Companies do that sort of thing sometimes. ;)

Lol. They must like saving money (they should do, they almost went bankrupt a while back), they didn't even pay for clothing in this one
