The hobbits are diminutive and the dwarves short, but there is nothing small in Director Peter Jackson's cinematic vision of JRR Tolkien's Middle-earth, as we saw a decade ago in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and see again now in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Nor in Jackson's studio Weta Digital's approach to helping the director realize his vision. Eight hundred and fifty artists at Weta Digital worked on The Hobbit, many tor more than three years. It is the first film in a planned three-part Hobbit series; three hours of what will become a nine-hour trilogy. Within a month of its debut, the Warner Bros release had earned more than S886 million at the box office worldwide, received Oscar and BAFTA nominations for best visual effects, and garnered numerous VES nominations.
