The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is now on the big screen and most of the fans are already nostalgic remembering the first trailer of the trilogy. Instead being sad because the last movie has been released, enjoy this fan-made trailer of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The video has been created playing with several different characters on The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO)!

Kristine Dotinga, who shared the video on YouTube, writes in the description box: Here is the very first released trailer of The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey, recreated with footage shot from the game The Lord of the Rings Online. This trailer left a huge impression on me when I first saw it, and now, while we await the final instalment of the trilogy, I present the project I’ve been working on for nearly a year.With the kind help of many, many sweet people, I was able to shoot the trailer in my game. These people I would want to thank here: First of all Galirian, who has always motivated me, supported me, and helped me make tough decisions. Secondly Merilien, who would always trigger me with ideas and motivate me enough to keep going. Then there are my fantastic actors: Tesie, Namely, Dwalic, Tweaky, Daerr, Bregori, Vinodin, Benchwarmer, Hangrock, Uggy, Thunderjak and Drurin, who played my Dwarves (and some even more roles!) of my own kinship, Frodo’s Friends, and my friend Galirian’s kinship, The Oathsworn. Thank you all so much for your assistance! Without your help, this project would have never succeeded.
