《超級為什麼》的故事設定在名為「故事村」(Storybrook Village)的地方,這個村莊位於兒童圖書館書架後面。在故事村中,主要角色懷亞特·比恩斯托克(Whyatt Beanstalk)與他的朋友——吠吠(Woofster)、小豬(Littlest Pig)、小紅帽(Red Riding Hood)和豌豆公主演(Princess Pea)一同生活。在每集節目中,主要角色之一(有時是兩位,甚至是所有五位角色)會面臨一個「超級大問題」、「超級大問題」或「超級大謎團」。他們會在書俱樂部(Book Club)討論情況,並決定查閱一本著名故事的書籍來尋找解決方案。 |
|||
超級讀者的目標是跟隨書中的情節發展。隨著故事的進行,他們會遇到各種障礙,這些障礙可以通過運用識字技能來解決,以改變故事。每當他們克服一個障礙時,就會獲得紅色閃亮的「超級字母」(Super Letters),這些字母組成了解決問題的答案。 |
|||
⚫ | |||
The show is set in Storybrook Village, which is accessible through a panel that is represented by an invisible question mark located on a bookshelf in a library . The titular character, Whyatt Beanstalk, lives with his friends Woofster, Littlest Pig, Red Riding Hood, and Princess Pea. In each of the episodes, one of the main characters (sometimes two characters, or even all five) has a "super big problem", a "super big question", or a "super big mystery". The main characters then discuss their situation at the Book Club, agreeing to look and fly in a book of a famous story to resolve it. |
|||
⚫ | 冒險結束時,超級讀者會飛回書俱樂部。超級字母會顯示在巨大的電腦螢幕上,並拼寫出「超級故事答案」。然後,超級讀者中的一位會解釋為什麼該特定的單詞或短語能夠解決他們的問題或謎團。<ref>{{Cite web|title=About Super Why {{!}} PBS Kids Shows|url=https://www.pbs.org/parents/shows/super-why/about|website=PBS Kids for Parents|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220922234202/https://www.pbs.org/parents/shows/super-why/about|archive-date=September 22, 2022|access-date=2022-09-22}}</ref> |

The goal of the Super Readers is to follow the storyline of the book. As they progress through the events of the story, they encounter various obstacles, which can be solved by applying their literacy skills to change the story. As they overcome each of these obstacles, they are rewarded with red glittery "Super Letters" that form the solution to whatever scenario they're investigating. |

== Reception == |

''Super Why!'' was received positively on [[Common Sense Media]], where reviewer Emily Ashby rates the show 4/5 in the categories positive messages, positive role models, and educational value. Ashby's review additionally states while extremely mild sequences of suspense and peril do occur and how the show partnered with [[Post Consumer Brands]] for a branded cereal, there are low amounts of violence/scariness and consumerism, as well as no sexual content, [[profanity]], or drinking, drugs, and smoking. Ashby additionally credits the merit of the show to its usage of classic children's [[fairy tale]]s and the usage of characters from them, specifically [[the Three Little Pigs]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Super Why! - TV Review|url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/super-why|website=www.commonsensemedia.org|date=2008-02-20|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607173820/https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/super-why|archive-date=June 7, 2021|access-date=2021-06-07}}</ref> |

《超級為什麼》在[[Common Sense Media]]上獲得了正面的評價。評論者Emily Ashby對該節目的「正面訊息」、「正面榜樣」和「教育價值」三個類別給予4/5的評分。Ashby指出,儘管節目中存在極輕微的懸疑和危險情節,且曾與[[Post Consumer Brands]]合作推出品牌穀物,節目中的暴力、恐怖元素及消費主義內容非常有限,且不包含性內容、粗俗語言或飲酒、毒品和吸煙的描寫。Ashby讚揚節目利用經典兒童[[童話故事]]及其角色,特別是[[三隻小豬]],來增強其教育價值。<ref>{{Cite web|title=Super Why! - TV Review|url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/super-why|website=www.commonsensemedia.org|date=2008-02-20|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607173820/https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/super-why|archive-date=June 7, 2021|access-date=2021-06-07}}</ref> |

《[[紐約時報]]》的評論者Susan Stewart對該節目將經典童話故事(如《[[三隻小豬]]》和《[[糖果屋]]》)中的傳統黑暗教訓轉化為禮儀教育內容表示批評。Stewart亦對節目中互動問題的設置及其長度提出批評,例如「字母E之後是什麼?」這類問題。儘管指出了這些缺點,Stewart仍認為該節目在教育價值方面表現出色。 |

劇情
[编辑]《超級為什麼》的故事設定在名為「故事村」(Storybrook Village)的地方,這個村莊位於兒童圖書館書架後面。在故事村中,主要角色懷亞特·比恩斯托克(Whyatt Beanstalk)與他的朋友——吠吠(Woofster)、小豬(Littlest Pig)、小紅帽(Red Riding Hood)和豌豆公主演(Princess Pea)一同生活。在每集節目中,主要角色之一(有時是兩位,甚至是所有五位角色)會面臨一個「超級大問題」、「超級大問題」或「超級大謎團」。他們會在書俱樂部(Book Club)討論情況,並決定查閱一本著名故事的書籍來尋找解決方案。
超級讀者的目標是跟隨書中的情節發展。隨著故事的進行,他們會遇到各種障礙,這些障礙可以通過運用識字技能來解決,以改變故事。每當他們克服一個障礙時,就會獲得紅色閃亮的「超級字母」(Super Letters),這些字母組成了解決問題的答案。
冒險結束時,超級讀者會飛回書俱樂部。超級字母會顯示在巨大的電腦螢幕上,並拼寫出「超級故事答案」。然後,超級讀者中的一位會解釋為什麼該特定的單詞或短語能夠解決他們的問題或謎團。[7]

反響
[编辑]《超級為什麼》在Common Sense Media上獲得了正面的評價。評論者Emily Ashby對該節目的「正面訊息」、「正面榜樣」和「教育價值」三個類別給予4/5的評分。Ashby指出,儘管節目中存在極輕微的懸疑和危險情節,且曾與Post Consumer Brands合作推出品牌穀物,節目中的暴力、恐怖元素及消費主義內容非常有限,且不包含性內容、粗俗語言或飲酒、毒品和吸煙的描寫。Ashby讚揚節目利用經典兒童童話故事及其角色,特別是三隻小豬,來增強其教育價值。[8]
《紐約時報》的評論者Susan Stewart對該節目將經典童話故事(如《三隻小豬》和《糖果屋》)中的傳統黑暗教訓轉化為禮儀教育內容表示批評。Stewart亦對節目中互動問題的設置及其長度提出批評,例如「字母E之後是什麼?」這類問題。儘管指出了這些缺點,Stewart仍認為該節目在教育價值方面表現出色。 [9]
宣傳活動與其他媒體
[编辑]現場表演
[编辑]2012年,《超級為什麼現場:你擁有力量》(Super Why Live: You've Got the Power)於美國展開巡演。該表演由S2BN Entertainment製作,Glenn Orsher擔任導演,劇本由Orsher、Angela C. Santomero、Samantha Freeman Alpert和Becky Friedman共同編寫。節目宣傳以其空中特技和「尖端技術」為賣點,並因其高度的觀眾互動而被Santomero戲稱為「學前班的《洛基恐怖秀》」。演出中包括超級為什麼、阿爾法豬、奇妙紅、公主演和吠吠,於2012年7月18日在路易斯安那州門羅市首演,並巡演至2013年春季,巡演於紐約州奧爾巴尼於5月10日結束。[10][11][12] 演出中使用了Melissa Hutchison的預錄音效作為超級為什麼和吠吠,Charlie Ibsen的音效作為阿爾法豬,Lisa Marie Woods的音效作為奇妙紅,以及Christina Ulloa Purrelli的音效作為公主演。 現場表演的原聲帶由音樂家Jack Antonoff編寫和製作,並借鑒了Santomero、Alpert、作曲家Steve D'Angelo和Terry Tompkins以及詞曲作家Alex Breen為該系列創作的歌曲元素。Antonoff表示,雖然他在獨立搖滾領域有豐富經驗,但為節目創作音樂的過程並不算陌生,只是需要使歌詞更加直接易懂,以適合年幼觀眾的需求。[13]
