The immense strength of Donaldson's books, aside from the illustrations, are the rythmic rhyming and alliterations
Stringing the dialogue out over 25 mins asks too much of the story. You end up with 14 of the mins being huffing, grunting, groans & laughs. You also get wordless additions to story that's weren't in the book, which in my opinion diminishes it overall
I know this prob sounds like over analysis of what is a kids show - BUT!! - my kids love rewatching things & I always appreciate shows that stand up to repeat viewings - with a great story and animation.
Superworm for me was poor. Also an anti ASMR horror show. Seems that it's become a style to narrate it with an audio enhanced high diction breathless whisper. I also don't need the sound of a bird struggling on toffee for a couple mins as filler till the next line of Donaldson's story
I urge you - go watch Robin Robin on Netflix. It blows superworm out the water and is of the highest quality.
