From New Line Cinema, Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. comes J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, brought to the big screen in an epic trilogy.

Weta Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again, contributing design, specialty props and specialty costumes to all three films.

This gorgeous little environment is anexacting miniature replica of the movie set that can be visited at Hobbiton in Matamata, New Zealand. The film version was designed and built by the 3Foot6 Art Department on location in Matamata. Originally built for The Lord of the Rings, it was torn down after filming but subsequently rebuilt in permanent materials for The Hobbit films!

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole. It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Bright round doors in summery hues dot the lush, grassy hillsides of Hobbiton like wildflowers. Behind each doorway, comfortably appointed burrows wind into earth: each one home to a hobbit, or a family of the Shire's rosy-cheeked little-folk.

Every hobbit-hole is unique, expressing the personality of its inhabitants with color and prettily adorned with gardens, furniture and the rustic debris of everyday life. Near the base of the Hill, where the ways divide, is a dwelling with a blue door the hue of a cloudless summer sky. Ivy drapes a frontage of brick and stone and divides the front garden from a back doorway round the side of the grassy mound.

Each an individual dwelling, the Hobbit holes lend themselves splendidly to creative placement in your cabinet. With a flat back and shallow depth of only 2.16 inches (55mm), they can be placed on mantles, cornices, shelves and in windows.
