File:Gollum 1977 225x169.jpg

Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Still from the 1977 animated feature film The Hobbit
Author or copyright owner	Rankin/Bass
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	http://tops115.blogspot.com/2009/07/10-most-horrifying-cartoon-characters.html
Date of publication	1977
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Gollum
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Show the specific appearance of Gollum as drawn by the animators in the Rankin/Bass version, described as froglike in the cited article text.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Only a still from the film can meet the requirement here.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	No amount of carefully thought-out text can achieve anything like the visual impression of even a greatly-reduced screenshot in the attempt to show how the character looked in a film.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is the only still from the film in the article, and the only one of the Rankin/Bass Gollum anywhere on Wikipedia. It is reduced to the usual sorry resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The film was released many years ago, and its Gollum depiction has been discussed and illustrated in many places, often freely accessible on the Internet. The addition of one small low-resolution screenshot can make no significant difference at this distance in time.
