Title: Tom Bombadil
Passage: In most film and radio adaptations of the story, Bombadil is notable by his absence (an exception is the Mind's Eye recordings). Peter Jackson stated that the reason the character was omitted from his film was because, in his view and to his co-writers, Bombadil does little to advance the story, and would make their film unnecessarily long. Christopher Lee concurred, stating the scenes were left out to make time for showing Saruman's capture of Gandalf. Some of Bombadil's dialogue, as well as the scene in which the hobbits meet Old Man Willow, are transferred into scenes which Merry and Pippin share with Treebeard in Jackson's adaptation, included in the extended edition DVD.
