The new fantasy movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" had its world premiere in New Zealand's capital Wellington. Tens of thousands of Hobbit fans went to the theater to try to see the film's stars. The movie is based on J.R.R. Tolkien's classic of the same name. It cost $500 million to make the movie. However, not everyone is happy. Animal rights group PETA say that over 27 animals died making the film. Director Peter Jackson said not a single animal died.

New Zealand will make a lot of money from "The Hobbit". The country's tourism businesses will see many new visitors next year. "The Unexpected Journey" is the first of three Hobbit movies planned by Peter Jackson. Hopefully, he will listen to the people who said animals died. The movie's makers should be much kinder to animals in the next movies. The movie will make a lot of money, so they should spend more on looking after the animals. More people will see the movies if this happens.
