* AdaptedOut: In the original first book, Halvar's crew was much larger; Halvar had two ships and both ships had "32 pairs of oars," meaning that there were more than sixty Vikings along on the journey. Only a handful got names and personalities, though; and in the animated adaptation Halvar's crew is a LOT smaller, with only one ship. The size of the crew seems to vary; sometimes there are a number of unnamed Vikings there, sometimes the eight main characters (Halvar, Vicky, Ulme, Tjure, Snorre, Gorm, Faxe and Urobe) seem to be the entire crew.

* LittleStowaway: In episode 1, Halvar, chief of the Vikings of Flake, promises his son Vicky to take him along on their next raiding cruise if Vicky can beat him in a footrace/stone carrying competition. When Vicky succeeds very much against Halvar's expectation, Halvar is in a quandary because he knows that the other Vikings are against taking Vicky on board. As a solution, in episode 2 Vicky suggests for Halvar to smuggle him aboard in a barrel, so he can later pretend he did not know that Vicky was on the ship. This works, and when Vicky is finally discovered, Halvar feigns surprise and indignation, but persuades the crew to take him along rather than to lose time by turning back. Meanwhile, Vicky's friend Ylvie, who has got wind of Vicky's plan, tries to join him by hiding in another barrel, but is found out before the ship departs.

A Swedish book series created by author Runer Jonsson in 1963, with new installments coming out through the 1980's.

* HiddenDepths: Ulme is revealed to be a very good and enduring runner. He's chosen to compete in a marathon. In the original books, his talent for poetry and acting also count as HiddenDepths, because up until he reveals them he's been a pretty normal member of Halvar's crew; a little more mild-mannered and well spoken than the others, but he hasn't really stood out a lot. When time comes to trick the Danes, Ulme proves to not only be a fantastic actor but also, quite out of the blue and without having shown any interest in poetry before, improvises a long poem about about their misfortunes that thoroughly impress the Danes. After that, his role as the team's bard and poet is pretty much nailed.

* TheMovie: A few Live-Actions movies were made based on the series.
