Redwall - Season 3

Redwall - Season 3, also known as Brian Jacques' Martin the Warrior: A Tale of Redwall, is the third and final season of the Nelvana Redwall TV Series, based on the novel Martin the Warrior by Brian Jacques. It occurs seven seasons after the events of Season 2, Mattimeo, so many of the same characters still reside at Redwall Abbey. It was directed entirely by Luc Bihan.

Martin the Warrior was officially announced as the third season of the Redwall TV Series by Nelvana on August 14, 2000. There are 13 episodes.

Featurettes

Featurette content for Season 3 differed from Season 1 and Season 2 in that middle school-aged children served as presenters for each episode, several of whom re-appeared as puzzle participant guests in other episodes. With Tramun Clogg as a primary villain, many segments focused on piracy. Behind-the-scenes aspects of the show's production are also featured.

Differences from Martin the Warrior

Season 3 opens with Tim Churchmouse reading the story to Redwall Abbey residents seven seasons after the events of Season 2, Mattimeo; whereas Aubretia tells Redwallers the story after the events of Mariel of Redwall in the Martin the Warrior. In the series finale, Tim mentions that he only knows the story due to it being told by travelers long ago, implying that Aubretia and Bultip's visit may still be canon in the series.
Sayna's death, which was later expanded on in The Legend of Luke as part of Martin's origin story, does not occur in the TV Series, nor is it mentioned.
Laterose of Noonvale's death in the TV series is caused by Badrang the Tyrant falling on her. She was thrown against a wall in Martin the Warrior.
In the TV series, Luke the Warrior leaves to fight Badrang. In The Legend of Luke, Luke leaves to fight Vilu Daskar.
Pallum was male in Martin the Warrior; the character is female in the television series.
Skalrag was tickle tortured after he proved himself disloyal to Badrang, which led to his death when dangling above Fort Marshank's gates. However, in the book, Skalrag was tortured by stretching on a torture rack and then killed above the gates of Marshank by being used for target practice for poison-tipped arrows.
In Martin the Warrior, after Martin saved Dinjer's life by shoving him off a cliff edge where the gannet's nest was located and into a waiting net constructed by Martin's group below, Dinjer attacked Martin with a stick, to which Queen Amballa defended Martin by smacking Dinjer and calling him a stupid little beast.
Barkjon noticed Druwp was spying in the TV series when Skarlrag called him at night while in the book, probably only Keyla knew about Druwp at that time.
Felldoh beats Badrang with a javelin and slays 20 vermin soldiers before he is killed in Martin the Warrior. In the TV series, Felldoh takes the Sword of Martin from Badrang and points it at him. He dies without killing any of Badrang's soldiers.
In Martin the Warrior, Tullgrew observes Felldoh with Brome and Keyla.
Pallum goes with Martin and Rose to save Grumm from the bees. However, in the book, he stayed behind.
Boldred's family doesn't appear in the television series.
Badrang's death in the television series is caused by him falling on Martin's sword. In Martin the Warrior, Martin and Badrang fought over the sword and Martin stabbed him.
Dinjer doesn't hit Martin after the warrior had rescued him from the nest of the gannet.
In the TV series, Keyla panicked when the tunnel caves in, but in Martin the Warrior, Keyla actually was the only one who does not react with fear, but rather snaps in anger.
Wulpp never figured out that Brome was really a mouse in Martin the Warrior.
The tree felling scene in Martin the Warrior is not in the TV series.
Aggril does not appear in the television series.
In the TV series, Martin and Rose confess their love for each other; this never happens in Martin the Warrior.
When Boldred attacks the Gawtrybe in Martin the Warrior, she grabs a few of them by their tails and drops them before catching them again. In the TV series, however, she makes no means of catching them, thus presumably killing the squirrels.
In Martin the Warrior, the Warden of Marshwood Hill eats the lizards, instead of throwing them in the river as he does in the TV series.
The Rambling Rosehip Players performance is shortened in the TV series.
In the TV series, Druwp grabs Barkjon and is about to murder him when Felldoh kills him. In Martin the Warrior, Druwp never does this and Felldoh kills him as he tries to escape.
In Martin the Warrior, Crosstooth is killed when Martin stabs him. In the TV series, Amballa and Martin throw him off the wall into the pit.
Martin was overcome by merciful darkness after killing Badrang and holding on to Rose. In the TV series, he held to her for a time before rising and moving on.
In Martin the Warrior, when Martin holds onto Rose, he whispers to her, "Rose, we could have chopped down the sycamore with this" and is thereafter unconscious for a season, only waking up once at Polleekin's treehouse to weep and not saying a single word until the day he finally decides to leave. He also never talks of Rose again. In the TV series he is conscious for the entire journey back, gives Rose a eulogy, and says before he leaves that the memories of her are too painful.
In the series finale, Martin throws his sword to the ground after finding Rose's body and vows never to use it again. At the very end he heads south, without his weapon, which calls into question how it arrived at Redwall Abbey for the events of season one and season two. When asked about this in an interview, Steve Roberts said "The actual script reads, MARTIN: 'Dear Rose. Forgive me. (Kneels) Upon my father's sword, in your name I swear I will never kill with it again.' It is likely that he was animated as sticking the sword into the ground as a dramatic emphasis. There was no implication that he abandoned the sword. Indeed, later he is seen on the stretcher 'his sword by his side, the rose in his hand.'" This was not accurate, as the sword is physically tossed to the ground in the animation, does not appear on or near the stretcher, and is never seen on-screen again after that moment. Martin's recorded line was also changed to "Upon my father's sword, I swear, I shall never fight with it again." In Martin the Warrior, the sword accompanies Martin to Mossflower Woods. He temporarily hung it up only after the events of Mossflower.
