* RayOfHopeEnding: In the film, Arthur hopes to remake society with concepts like "Might for Right" and trial by jury. Unfortunately it all blows up in his face. By the end he's stuck in a pointless war with his former best friend, and it seems that everyone has forgotten his higher ideals. But in the final scene, he meets a young boy who actually understands all the ideals and sincerely commits himself to obeying them. Arthur knights him and commands him to stay out of harm's way, so he'll live to tell the tale. Since trial by jury exists in the modern day, it's implied that Arthur's ideals lived on through this boy and eventually improved the world, even if they didn't do much within Arthur's lifetime.

* AdaptationalDistillation: ''Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing'' is made of five separate books, the musical is primarily based on the last two, the ''Ill-Made Knight'' and the ''Candle in The Wind'', while pulling elements from ''the Sword in the Stone'' along with some original material such as how Arthur and Guenevere meet.
* AdaptedOut: The Grail Quest is removed entirely from the narrative, and a number of characters are cut from the story including the other Orkney siblings, Elaine, Galahad, and Pellinore's entire family.
