In Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated version of The Lord of the Rings, Pippin was voiced by Dominic Guard. In the live-action recordings Bakshi used for rotoscoping, Billy Barty was the model for several of the hobbits, but it is not clear whether Barty modelled for Pippin.

In the 1980 animated version of The Return of the King, made for television, the character was voiced by Sonny Melendrez.

In the 1981 BBC radio serial of The Lord of the Rings, Pippin was played by John McAndrew.

In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Pippin is played by Billy Boyd, who is from Scotland. The filmmakers originally planned for Boyd to adopt an English accent for the role, in keeping with the other hobbits; however, Jackson found that Boyd's comic timing was not as keen when he was not using his native accent. Therefore, it was decided to allow Boyd to play the role with a Scottish accent; the decision was justified by the observation that the Took-land in which the Took clan lived was a very hilly region of the Shire and was therefore vaguely similar to Scotland (indeed, when Saruman's Ruffians take over the Shire the terrain of the Took-land proves so rough and inaccesible that the Tooks are effectively able to beat the Ruffians back while the surrounding counties are overtaken).
