Dude u should have seen the old brigde, it was a old af swing brigde like from the movie shrek when shrek shakes the brigde to scare donkey. My old man use to shake it when we were young to make us laugh and prentend to be shrek haha good memeroies
If only they knew then what we know now maybe they would have left at least a couple of the buildings standing. Rivendell didn't get a second chance like Hobbiton did with The Hobbit.
It was never really a possibility with so much of the filming done in national parks, even with all the land restoration (including NZ Army Engineer Corps) they did by removing the sets there was still complaints from interest groups. Hobbiton only happened because it was private farm land, and even then it was destroyed after LoTR (due to only being built out of temporary materials), only to be rebuilt for The Hobbit on the stipulation it was built to last as a tourist attraction and profits shared New Line Cinema, Peter Jackson, and the land owners. Fun Fact: The original Oak tree over Bag End in LoTR was a real tree that had been cut into numbered pieces, moved to site and rigged in place with over 250,000 extra artificial leaves added. The one in place now from The Hobbit is made of steel, foam and silicon with over 300,000 hand painted leaves, and is deliberately smaller than the one in LoTR due to the Hobbit taking place earlier chronologically.

Yeah, maybe. But I think it's good that they let most of the nature return back to normal!
I was lucky enough to be working at the site of the castle of helm's deep etc and grabbed a piece of the floor with the original paint on it 😁
@@cabeast6113 " you stole it " I'm telling on you. 😆🤣🤣 You're lucky to have been there and have a piece from the greatest movies ever made.

Hobbits are taller than dwarfs or they'd be called dwarfs.
Were there any poop logs in the river?
The river was very clean!
@@GlobetrottingBrock I would assume the hobbits have sewage lines there, surprised it was not the case.
