===Differences From Redwall===
*When [[Cluny the Scourge]] is driving the cart in ''Redwall'', the sign says 15 miles. In the series, the sign says 10 miles.
*The [[Horse|horse]] does not miss the turn in ''Redwall''.
*[[Abbot Mortimer]] describes [[Matthias]] as having resided at [[Redwall Abbey]] for 10 years, and being age 13.
*During the final battle, Cluny the Scourge uses [[Cornflower Fieldmouse]] as a hostage instead of [[Friar Hugo]].
*[[Basil Stag Hare]], [[Jess Squirrel]], and Matthias all go to rescue the tapestry. In the book, only Basil and Jess are involved.
*[[Constance]] kills [[Fangburn]] by biting him. In the book, she smashes him against a wall several times.
*Cornflower's role in the series is more active than in the book.
*Matthias, after his expedition to learn about [[Asmodeus Poisonteeth]] from [[Captain Snow]], returns to the Abbey, and consequently, is present for some sequences he wasn't in the book (e.g. Constance's crossbow, the siege tower, etc).
*Dunwing becomes Queen of the [[Sparra]] tribe following the death of King Bull Sparra. In ''Redwall'', Warbeak becomes queen.
*The scabbard of Martin the Warrior is located in King Bull Sparra's nest; in ''Redwall'', the scabbard is hidden inside King Bull Sparra's armchair.
*Matthias returns to Redwall from his expedition to retrieve the [[Sword of Martin]] from Asmodeus. In the book, he returned as Cluny was seizing control of the Abbey. In order to have it more true to the book, a new scene is added in which Matthias, before Cluny begins to take over, goes off to recruit warriors.
*Cluny attempts to starve the Redwallers in the series, but in the book, everything they needed for food was in the orchard, etc.
*The [[Beaver]] does not appear in the TV series.
*[[Ambrose Spike]] has a large role in the book, but in this season, all he does is perform magic tricks at the jubilee, and is later seen before the final battle.
*Due to Ambrose's reduced role, the Vole family's capture is somewhat different than in the book. In the book, [[Colin Vole]] and his family are captured and Ambrose Spike is injured by Cluny's horde. The Redwall moles then go underground and manage to save Ambrose, who relates what happened. In the series, as the voles are captured, [[Mrs. Vole|Colin's mother]] tells him to run to Redwall and tell what happened.
*[[Sela]] is killed by Cluny's horde outside the gate, when in the book, she was executed at the camp.
*The events of ''Cluny's Clowns'', ''The Visitor'', and ''A Favor Returned'' didn't occur in the book.
*The characters [[Wild Ivy]], [[Farlo]], [[Glendel]], [[Saffron]], [[Dorthia]], [[Jennie]], [[Mighty Clodd]], [[Myrtle (Redwall TV series)|Myrtle]], and [[Bigwing]] were not present in the book.
*[[Sam Squirrel|Silent Sam]] has a very small role in the series, but has a much larger role in the book.
*[[John Churchmouse]] is Cornflower's father in the TV series. In the book, her father is [[Mr. Fieldmouse]]. This would make Cornflower Churchmouse an older sister to [[Tim Churchmouse|Tim]] and [[Tess Churchmouse]] in the 2nd season, which also makes the marriage of [[Mattimeo]] (Cornflower's son, and in the TV series, Tess' nephew) to Tess Churchmouse (and their offspring, [[Martin II]] especially) rather controversial.
*In the TV series, the first time John Churchmouse appears is in the epilogue.
*Abbot Mortimer takes part in the final battle against Cluny's horde, but in the book, he is not involved.
*Cluny does not kill Mortimer in the series.
*[[Chickenhound]] intentionally injures Methuselah by hitting him over the head with a candelabra. In ''Redwall'', he uses a sack of loot.
*Chickenhound was not chased by Friar Hugo, and did not have the sack of loot when he fled or when he was attacked by Asmodeus.
*[[Redtooth]] was killed by Constance in the book when she threw him against a tree. In the TV series, he is killed when Cornflower spilled hot soup on him, but, oddly, is later seen running away from the siege tower (but is mentioned as being dead later).
*The scene of Cornflower discovering Martin's armor in the attic and scaring off Cluny does not appear in ''Redwall''; Martin's armor does not appear in ''Redwall'' at all.
*A young shrew promises to show Matthias a cut-off to Redwall Abbey; this scene does not appear in ''Redwall''.
*In the book, Methuselah dies shortly after he is beaten by Chickenhound. In the TV series, Methuselah does not die immediately, and dies a few days later in bed.
*Nobody knew Basil when he first arrives at the Abbey in the TV series. In the book, when Basil arrives at Redwall, it is revealed that he was an old friend to the Abbey.
*The [[Summer of the Talking Squirrel]] was not mentioned in the epilogue of the TV series.
*The [[Redwall Tapestry|tapestry]] is much different in the book than in the television series. In the television series, the words "I am that is" are shown in plain sight on the tapestry, but in the book, they are etched in the wall behind the tapestry and the tapestry does not show the future battle with Cluny the Scourge as it does in the television series.
*In the book, Cluny's horde tried to tunnel into Redwall only once, only to be stopped by boiling hot water. In the series, they tried to tunnel twice, the first of which they were foiled by porridge and the second time by water.
*In the TV series, both Sela and Chickenhound went into Redwall, and Sela was later thrown out of Redwall for stealing (and her son for injuring Methuselah) and killed by Cluny almost immediately. In the book, Cluny unveils their spying and has them both executed, though Chickenhound survives and drags himself to Redwall.
*In the book, Cornflower was not present when Matthias and Methuselah worked out the riddle behind the tapestry or went beneath the stairs to Martin's tomb as she was in the TV series.
*In the TV series, the [[Guosim]] used regular [[Sword|swords]], not [[Rapier|rapiers]], as they did in the book.
*In the series, two mouse maids sew the tapestry back into place. In the book, Methuselah stitches the ripped piece onto the tapestry.
*Cluny sends out his press gangs both when he arrives at Redwall and near the final battle in the TV series. In the book, he only does it at his arrival.
*In the TV series, [[Killconey]] spies on the Redwallers and finds out about their plan to assassinate Cluny. In the book, Killconey does no spying, whatsoever.
*Killconey hires a magpie to help him spy on the Redwallers. The magpie also later acts as Cluny's pet, perching on his shoulder. In the book, there is no magpie.
*In the book, when Cluny tries to infiltrate the Abbey using a plank, Constance simply kicks it off the wall, while in the TV series, she struggles to hold it up and Matthias helps her push it.
*[[Skullface]] does not appear in the TV series, and is replaced by a random, unnamed rat. He is however mentioned later in the series while Cluny mentioned the dead.
*Cluny pretends to be a weary traveler in order to first enter the Abbey, and is only accompanied by Redtooth and [[Darkclaw]]. In the book, he is backed by his [[Cluny's Horde|horde]] and blatantly introduces himself to the Redwallers as Cluny the Scourge.
*Darkclaw enters the Abbey with Cluny instead of Redtooth.
*Cluny summons [[Shadow]] to him before he first enters Redwall, while in the book, he calls for Shadow after Cluny returns to his camp.
*During the final battle, Cluny climbs up the bell tower, with Matthias following, before sliding down the bell rope to the floor. In the book, Matthias tries to escape Cluny by running up the tower, but Cluny never follows.
*[[Scragg]] does not have as large a role in the TV series as he does in the book, and was shown as a rat instead of a weasel. Later, however, when Cluny was naming off his dead captains, he called him 'Scragg the weasel'.
*It is revealed that Matthias saw Cluny as a child, when his hometown was pillaged. However, in the book, there is no mention of Matthias ever knowing of Cluny's existence before he arrived at Redwall.
*Basil walked out with Matthias and Methuselah after he opened the door when it closed behind them. In the book, however, Matthias and Methuselah were able to open the door on their own and walked out of Martin's tomb alone.
*In the series, Constance came with Matthias and Methuselah to the wall where they found the shield shaped carving. In the book, she arrived after they discovered it and told them about the shield.
*In the series, the shield-shaped carving was covered by plants in which Constance removed. However, in the book, [[Foremole (Redwall)|Foremole]] and his crew uncovered the rubble that was hiding it.
*Matthias and Methuselah discovered the shield carving at daytime, not at night.
*Killconey's death by Matthias's sword isn't shown in the series.
*In the book, Darkclaw is killed by the boiling water. In the series, an unknown rat is killed instead, and Darkclaw is later seen before the final battle.
*In the book, [[Frogblood]] tries to kill Matthias before the final battle. In the series, Matthias just points the sword at him threateningly.
*A mouse tries to bring food to Redwall Abbey, but is killed by Cluny the Scourge. This scene doesn't happen in the book.
