Added DiffLines:

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Visser Three in the books often used a "benign, agile" human morph. If there's a human name attached to it this is never shared. To save budget, the TV series version is almost always in this morph and is called "Victor Trent".

* PoseOfSilence: The heroes hold most of their meetings in a crowded arcade/restaurant, where anyone around them could be one of the bad guys. It's {{justified}}, in a sense, because such places have tons of background noise that make it difficult to eavesdrop, especially if the characters are cluttering close to each other. In the books, they logically meet in the privacy of a barn. They only meet in public spaces when the information is not sensitive.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Marco gets tied up and thrown in his bedroom closet and it takes "all night" for him to escape when he could have easily morphed into a small animal to get free.

Added DiffLines:

* TauntingTheTransformed: In the second episode, Marco panics during his first morph and stops less than a quarter of the way through, leaving him with the upper half of a rat's head. Tobias is quick to tease Marco over this, calling him "rat man".

* AdaptationalWimp: The Animorphs all have significantly weaker battle morphs than in the books. Rachel goes from her grizzly bear and elephant to a lion (stealing SixthRangerTraitor David's battle morph), Marco goes from his gorilla to a wolf, and Cassie loses her own wolf in favor of a horse. Even Jake loses a little; he still gets a tiger morph but he's forced to trade in the formidable Siberian tiger for a smaller, less dangerous white tiger.
** Visser Three loses his menagerie of monstrous morphs. Aside from one (mostly offscreen) instance, the only morph he ever uses is his human morph.
** In Season 2, Erek the Chee gets to keep his durability and strength but loses the ability to project holograms around anyone but himself.

Rachel goes from her grizzly bear and elephant getting PowerIncontinence after acquiring a crocodile. The corresponding episode gave this story to Cassie, possibly because not a lion (stealing SixthRangerTraitor David's battle morph), Marco goes from his gorilla to a wolf, and Cassie loses her own wolf in favor lot of a horse.
