"I first saw this movie while I was acting in a production of the show...just to get a feel for the songs and the choreography, not really paying much attention to the quality of the performances or the show as a whole. On repeated viewings since, however, I can say that...well, frankly, it doesn't make a very strong impression on me. I suppose there are several reasons for this; first of all, there's a lot of the script missing. But which script? There were actually two different "Pippin" scripts, which shared most of the songs and basic structure, but very little else. ..."

At the very end when asked how he feels, Pippin says, "Trapped, which isn't bad for the end of a musical comedy." The line was written "Trapped, but happy, which isn't..." but director/choreographer Bob Fosse changed it. It was fought out and today, the original version of the line appears in the play.
