[[Peter Jackson]] had an elaborate [[Hobbiton film set]] built on the Alexander sheep farm at [[Matamata]] in New Zealand for his [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' film series]]. It included a water-mill, the [[Green Dragon Inn]], and several Hobbit-holes as well as Bag End in a small hill, with garden.<ref name="LA Times 2003">{{cite news |last=Huffstutter |first=P.

Chad Chisholm and colleagues, reviewing Jackson's 2012 film ''[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]]'' for ''[[Mallorn]]'', write that Jackson humorously has the "rough and ready" Dwarves "bursting into Bilbo's neat little home and cleaning out his pantry", providing "a sort of constant comic relief to the dangers in the dark".<ref name="Chisholm 2013">{{cite journal |last1=Chisholm |first1=Chad |title=Review: A journey to the cinema.
