This is a thread to discuss the "character" of Pippin. Comments about Billy Boyd performance are welcome, but if you would like to discuss Billy please stay in the Billy Boyd thread. There is also a thread for Merry.
I think he's the most "flavorful" character... I mean, he's always making mistakes, showing how he feels and what he thinks... and it's cute how he's always looking up to Merry when he is confused (which happens alot)
Pippen is a great character, made even greater in my mind, from the movies.
I loved watching him grow from a really selfish hobbit, to being responsible....
Even though he goofed up for the majority of the time, he matured so much there at the end.
He saw where he was wrong and immature. He was big enough to stand up for what was right...
And his heart... he had such an incredible passion there, in the last movie, to fight to the end, knowing that he would most likely die.

Well put KJ. Thank you. Pippin growth is yet another very important sub plot in LOTR. I really liked it in the book and I think PJ really gave that storyline the attention that it deserves. Pippin goes from being barely a child, to a hero!
Pippin is one of my favorite characters and he has lots of great lines. But I really like "Well, what about second breakfast?" As many times as I've seen Fellowship of the Ring, that line still makes me giggle. And Billy Boyd delivers the line flawlessly.
