The Lord of the Rings extended edition DVD of "The Fellowship of the Ring" came with two experiences on the ROM side. These were based on the seeing stones (the "palantirs") used for communication between Saruman and Sauron in the film. The first of these was called "The Character Palantir". This was a way of understanding the relationships between the different characters in the films. It also allowed access to a series of portrait of the actors (only publicly available through here and allowed them to be printed out). Click here for an image of the Character Palantir.

The second experience was the "Cast and Crew Palantir". This was more or less a filmography but one where (1) 2 or 3 actors careers might be compared with each other for shared overlaps and (2) the filmography was displayed in a proportional chronological order.

On the Mac side is a minor bug in Safari with Director 3D content that will cause a display problem.
