Why is there no mention Of old forest in lord Of the rings : fellowship Of the ring ?

While watching lord Of the rings the fellowship Of the ring , i saw many changes in the movie from the book and biggest Of all there was no mention Of old forest and tom bombadilo why ?

Sadly there was no mention of this because Peter Jackson (the director) felt that a.) The Tom Bombadilo story added little to the overall story and b.) It would make the film far too long.

I disagree and think novel to film is usually quite inaccurate and removes something from the original source. The film took much of its guidance from the BBC radio drama which too cut out poor Old Tom, the Old Forest and the Barrow Wights.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King $5.12 This final chapter of Peter Jackson’s sprawling adaptation of Tolkien’s “Ring” trilogy closes out one of the most accomplished cycles in cinema–and film music–history.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers $8.73 Howard Shore’s music for the massively successful first film chapter of Tolkien’s Ring saga won him the Oscar® for Best Original Score, something of a surprise given the music’s ambitious scale and determinedly dark overtones, factors that handily blurred the line between typical film fantasy music and accomplished concert work.
