Episodes
All episode synopses provided freely by Nelvana, they are word-for-word, unless noted otherwise and someone wants to write their own.

Redwall

 * During the final battle, Cluny the Scourge uses Cornflower 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.
 * The walls of Asmodeus's quarry are described as soft and yellow in the book, but are made of regular grey stone in the series.
 * Matthias, after his expedition to learn about Asmodeus 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).
 * In the books, Warbeak becomes queen follwing the death of her crazy uncle Bull, as her mother wished. In the series, Dungwing, her mother becomes queen.
 * Abbot Mortimer does not taste the grayling in the series.
 * Matthias returns to Redwall from his exbidition 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 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 then 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, Colin's mother tells him to run to Redwall and tell what happened.
 * Winifred the Otter is only directly adressed when Constance tells her and her otters to go find Matthias falls in the pond. She does not speak.
 * Old Sela in the series is killed by Cluny's hordes outside the gate when in the book she was executed at the camp.
 * The events of Cluny's Clowns, The Visitor and A Favour Returned didn't occur in the book.
 * The characters Wild Ivy, Farlo, Glendel, Saffron, Dorthia, Jennie, Mighty Clodd, Myrtle, and Bigwing were not present in the book.
 * 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 makes the marriage of Mattimeo and Tess more confusing).
 * In the series, the first time we see John Churchmouse is in the epilogue. In the book, he is seen from time to time over the course of the novel, but doesn't become crucial until Mattimeo.
 * Matthias does not have a mentioned sister in the book.
 * Abbot Mortimer takes part the final battle against Cluny's horde, but in the book he does not.
 * Cluny the Scourge does not lash out at Mortimer in the series.
 * Redtooth was killed by Constance in the book when she threw him against a tree. In the 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).
 * Cornflower and Silent Sam find the armour of Martin the Warrior in the attic, in the book it is hidden beneath the Abbey.
 * A little shrewbabe promises to show Matthias a cut-off to Redwall Abbey, though the scene isn't in the book.
 * 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 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 in the book as it does in the television series
 * In the book, Cluny's horde only tried to tunnel into Redwall only once, only to be killed by boiling hot water. In the series they tried a 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 injuring Methuselah) and killed by Cluny almost immediately. In the books, Cluny unveils their spying and has them both executed, though Chickenhound survives and drags himself to Redwall.
 * In the books, 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 swords not 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.

Mattimeo

 * It is Sister May who rescues Rollo from General Ironbeak in the book, not Cornflower.
 * It is Sister May who tends to Stryk Redkite in the book, not Cornflower.
 * When Stryk Redkite attacks General Ironbeak, General Ironbeak's rooks suppress her before she breaks free and kills him. In the book, she killed him directly without any interruption.
 * In the series, Ironbeak is shown wearing a metal helmet---whereas in the book and illustrations, there is no reference to Ironbeak having a metal helmet. (This may have been done to make Ironbeak visually distinct from the other birds, preventing potential confusion.)
 * In the book, Fleaback was a weasel and was one of the five weasels to be sent south by Matthias. However, in the television series, Fleaback is a stoat and he is pushed from the cliff by Slagar.
 * When Slagar tells Mattimeo his story in the television series, Threeclaws is present. In the book, only Mattimeo is there.
 * In the book, Slagar doesn't tell Mattimeo that he is Chickenhound, instead Mattimeo tells Sam Squirrel the information that Slagar gave to him and it is Sam Squirrel that reveals Slagar to be Chickenhound. In the TV series, Slagar directly tells Mattimeo that he is Chickenhound.
 * In the television series, Hairbelly and Wedgeback do not exist. The latter's death is altered so Fleaback dies by being pushed off the plateau.
 * In the book, Mattimeo and his friends beat Vitch after he lies and tells them their loved ones are dead; and the slavers have to use canes to physically pry them off of Vitch. In the television series, Mattimeo's gang advances on Vitch and prepares to beat him up, but Vitch turns and runs into Slagar. The slavers aren't involved in that scene.
 * Some of the Blackrobe Rats used axes in the series, while in the book they only used spears.

Martin the Warrior

 * The TV series opens with John Churchmouse reading the story during after the events of Mattimeo, whereas Aubrieta tells them the story after the events of Mariel of Redwall in the book.
 * Laterose's death in the TV series is apparently caused by Badrang the Tyrant stabbing her, however, she was thrown against a wall in the book.
 * Pallum was male in the book, but is female in the television series.
 * Skalrag was tickle tortured, which lead to his death when dangling above Marshank's gates. However, in the book, Skalrag was tortured by stretching on a torture rack and then killed above the gates of Marchsnkby poison tipped arrows.
 * Felldoh beat Badrang with a javelin in the book. Also, he killed twenty of Badrang's soldiers. In the television series, Felldoh didn't beat Badrang, he pointed the Sword of Martin at Badrang, and he died without killing any of Badrang's soldiers.
 * 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 the book, 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 tunnel scene in the film, Keyla panicked when the tunnel caves in, but in the book, Keyla actually is the only one who keeps a cool head.
 * Wulpp never figures out that Brome actually is a mouse in the book.
 * The tree felling scene in the book is not in the series.
 * Aggril does not appear in the television series.
 * In the TV series, Martin and Rose confess their love for each other, although this was never done in the book.
 * Martin leaves his sword behind in the TV series, while in the book he takes it with him vowing to one day hang it up.
