* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Acting as Arthur's right hand man in the original film, Bedevere noticeably gets DemotedToExtra here, possibly because [[AscendedExtra Patsy essentially fills that role here]]. He's noticeably the only principle role who doesn't get a song focused on them, originally having one based on his recruitment scene which wound up being dropped before the Broadway run. Not only that, but the Broadway doubling only has him as Mrs. Galahad and Concorde, two pretty minor parts.
