Differences between the book and the episode[edit]

What appear to be Patrick and Brian can be seen standing in line in the illustration when Arthur tries to pull the sword from the stone and succeeds. These two did not appear in the episode.
Brain says to Buster that capon is chicken instead of Rusty, and he whispers it to him rather than saying it out loud.
