Following on the heels of their popular videos starring Lindsay Lohan and Richard Simmons, Air New Zealand has produced a new animated in-flight safety video featuring Ed O’Neill (Modern Family, Married With Children).  Hand-drawn and filmed during the process, the video depicts an airline safety pamphlet as it comes to life, and also includes appearances by New Zealand native Melanie Lynskey (Up in the Air, Two and a Half Men), Snoop Dogg and New Zealand’s famous All Blacks rugby team:

 


This is the latest in a series of popular YouTube videos produced by Air New Zealand.  Their “Bare Essentials” in-flight safety video was also a big hit (featuring the airline crew in nothing but body paint), and previous videos have starred David Hasselhoff and Air New Zealand’s former mascot, Rico, among others.  In fact, there a more celebrity cameos scattered throughout the new video, and one lucky winner who can identify them all will win a trip around the world via Air New Zealand’s social media hub, theflyingsocialnetwork.com.
