Documentary with a closer look at the stage design of various places and localities within the Middleearth universe. Hobbiton was filmed on an originally bare stretch of farmland in Matamata, New Zealand. Before Hobbitholes, much greenery, and other setpieces were installed, John Howe and Alan Lee spent time sketching how they would visualize Hobbiton, sitting on a hill looking over the land. In the farm's long transformation, the crew built at least thirty distinct Hobbitholes (excluding Bag End). Hobbiton was located in the center of the Shire in the far eastern part of the Westfarthing. It was the home of many illustrious Hobbits, including Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins, and Samwise Gamgee. Notable locations in Hobbiton include the Mill and Bag End. At the end of the War of the Ring, Saruman's treachery destroyed much of the Shire, and Hobbiton suffered greatly. The Old Mill had been replaced with a noxious factorylike structure, and many trees had been cut down.
