Let the Kiwi dwarves go to London!

The Issue

Warner Brothers has decided to not fly the dwarves from New-Zealand over for the world premiere of The Hobbit: the Battle of the Five Armies in London on the 1st of December. Because of 'budget reasons' that is, while they have had a 3 billion grossing trilogy... This means Jed Brophy (Nori), Mark Hadlow  (Dori), William Kircher (Bifur), Peter Hambleton (Gloin), Stephen Hunter (Bombur), Dean O'Gorman (Fili) and John Callen (Oin) who made us aware of this, would not be present, which would be a total shame. Throughout 3 years of hard work, many prosthetics and a lot of sacrifices for the job, they have made the films what they are today. I think this is an absolute disgrace and totally unrespectful towards those 7 dwarves who have put so much time and effort en the epic trilogy. We may be able to reach out to Warner Brothers, to let them know how much they deserve to be there, by all signing this petition.
