Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Section. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the characters. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the beginning of a section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the characters and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the moview creator's ability to provide design services and in turn marketing moview to the public.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Because this work is non-free, any free substitute would either be a copyright violation or misinterpret the work.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original video. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a medium resolution scan from movie will not impact the commercial viability of it.

Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Company of the Ring
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The Company of the Ring is the subject of this article and of the image. This image directly illustrates Peter Jackson's interpretation of the Company. Jackson's film is necessarily a visual interpretation of Tolkien's book, and this image provides the article's only glimpse of exactly that visual interpretation. The article states that "A consensus of critics described the casting as "pitch-perfect"." The casting in question is that of the 9 members of the Company, all of whom are shown in the image. The four characters in the foreground are the hobbits or halflings; they are shown reduced in height by scaling and green-screening. The dwarf on the left is similarly reduced in the same way; the relative proportions of dwarf and hobbits was achieved by choosing a tall actor to play the dwarf.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Because this work is non-free, any free substitute would either be a copyright violation or misinterpret the work.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification of the nine people shown, but of much lower resolution than the original film. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a medium resolution scanfrom Peter Jackson's film cannot impact its commercial viability as the film has already been extremely successful and many similar but higher-resolution images have for many years been widely circulated on the Internet.
