Differences from the game

 * Modern Day is the only area that does not exist in this film, instead being replaced by Time Twister, with a totally new Zombot that mixes every Zombot from different worlds visited during the film named Megazombot World Transformer. Surely it's because, according to the DVD commentary, the producers and directors of the film said that they thought Modern Day is considered one huge wasted potential, with the "bosses" being just harder versions of the other ten bosses in the game and became a scrapped area in the film.
 * In the game, Starfruit is a limited-time premium plant since the 7.9.3 update. Here, unlike the game, he is a world obtainable plant.
 * In the game, Marigold returns from the first game as a Zen Garden-exclusive plant. But here, unlike the game, she does not return from the first film.
 * In both versions of the game, Doom-shroom does not return from the first game. Here, he returns from the first film with Idris Elba reprising his role as him.
 * In the chinese version of the game, Digger Zombie returns from the first game, but not in the international version. Here, he returns from the first film with Wayne Knight reprising his role as him.
 * Here, the premium plants (Snow Pea, Power Lily, Squash, Torchwood, Jalapeño, Imitater, Starfruit, Hypno-shroom, Pea-nut, Chomper, Homing Thistle, Hurrikale, Fire Peashooter, Lava Guava, Toadstoll, Cactus, Electric Blueberry, Grapeshot, Cold Snapdragon, Shrinking Violet and Escape Root) appear to be world-obtainable plants.
 * Limited time plants (Pumpkin, Explode-O-Nut, Ghost Pepper, Sweet Potato, Sap Fling, Dandelion, Strawburst, Jack O' Lantern and Blooming Heart), homeless plants (starting with Gold Bloom) and power mints are the only plants from Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time that do not appear in the film because, according to the DVD commentary, the producers and directors said that those plants were scrapped from the film because said plants would not fit very well in the movie as supporting characters and found them useless characters, especially the power mints.
 * In the game, the primitive versions of Peashooter, Sunflower, Wall-nut and Potato Mine are called Primal plants. Here, they are called Primitive plants.

Trivia (production)

 * Marigold was originally planned to return from the first film, with her voice actress Alison Brie reprising her role as her. But she became a scrapped character, despite making an appearance in the teaser poster along with Crazy Dave and the plants. The reason why this character was scrapped from the film was that the filmmakers thought that this plant was in the game only to appear to be a Zen Garden exclusive plant and as a cameo for the loading screen instead of being planted in-game.
 * Benjamin Bratt was considered for the role of Torch Zombie.
 * Hugo Weaving was considered for the roles of Snapdragon and Cold Snapdragon.
