Line 71:
** In most adaptations, Beregond is cut. He (and his son's) role as Pippin's friend is [[Composite Character|Faramir]] in the Jackson films. Since his role in defending the latter from premature cremation is also cut, so Pippin's dash for Gandalf is just as desperate and only came ''just in time'' as the pyre is about to be lit. According to [http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Beregond_%28soldier_of_Gondor%29#Portrayal_in_Adaptations Ian Hughes'] his character was originally meant to be Beregond but was change into Irolas and the role was reduce.

* The [[Disney]] [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|adaptation]] of ''[[The Jungle Book (novel)|The Jungle Book]]'' omits several characters, notably Tabaqui, the Jackal. Same with some of the live action versions (Though ''Mowgli's Story'' has some of them, including Tabaqui, this makes this sequel as more loyal).
