16 | !! This show provides examples of: |
17 | * AdaptedOut: Snowy, Puff and Angel are major characters in the books, but they don’t appear in the actual show. |
18 | * AllThereInTheManual: The show’s page on the ''Bookworm Bunch'' website said that Amy lives upstairs in the house with Paisley (although she never appears in the live action segments). |
19 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: At the beginning and end of each half-hour episode (in total), Elliot would tell the viewers what the moral of "today's show" is. Aside from that though, none of the characters ever talk to the viewers. |

21 | * DubSpeciesChange: In the French dub, Elliot Moose is a caribou instead of a moose. |
