Only to land in a very strange fairytale world. Come to find out, Middle Earth is right in the heart of Switzerland! To make matters worse, the quirky inhabitants mistake Friedrich for Frido the Tellyhobbie. Before he can say Tolkien, he‘s on a mission to save the world from an evil wizard who wants to dip the whole planet in one huge sizzling Swiss cheese fondue. A mission so crazy… it just might wake the hero in him. A spoof of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy set in Switzerland.

豆知識

The Ring Thing is a 2004 Swiss parody film. Produced without state film funding, it is a low-budget comic spoof on the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. It had its world premiere on 14 December 2004 at the Pathé cinema centre near Zurich. The theatrical release in Switzerland was in mid-December 2004, and summer of 2005 in Germany.

Production

The exterior shots for the film were shot by the executive producer Condor Films for almost four weeks, mainly in the anterior Rhine valley. Other locations were the Caumasee near Flims and the Seleger Moor near Rifferswil/ZH. For the castle scenes, filming took place in the Munot castle in Schaffhausen. Originally, the producers planned to have the actor of Winnetou Pierre Brice appear in the film in a guest role as an Indian chief.

The film's title song "Lueg mi Aaa" (Swiss dialect for "Look at me") was composed by the siblings Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg and Lionel Baldenweg. The music video for the song was recorded by the band "The Alfornos feat Heidi P" at the Bellerive Studios with the original actors.
