Super Why!	comment	Super Why! is a Canadian-American educational animated children's show aimed at preschool aged children. It features Fairy Tale characters who turn into superheroes known as the "Super Readers", who can literally enter into books to help solve problems. They are: Littlest Pig, of The Three Little Pigs, who transforms into Alpha Pig, "with Alphabet Power!" Little Red Riding Hood, who turns into Wonder Red, "with Word Power!" Princess Pea, daughter of the Princess from The Princess and the Pea who turns into Princess Presto, "with Spelling Power!" Whyatt, younger brother of Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk, who transforms into Super Why! "with the Power to Read!" Puppy, the pet of Whyatt, transforms into Woofster "with Dictionary Power!"The show is also interactive in that the viewer is also assumed to part of the group, as the unseen Super You, "with the Power to Help!" whom the other heroes address directly.The show is produced by Decode Entertainment (later DHX Media) and 9 Story Media Group's New York-based Out of the Blue Enterprises. It features many of the same people who made Blue's Clues on production, being the creation of one of that show's co-creators Angela C. Santomero. Episodes can be seen on PBS Kids in the United States and CBC Kids in Canada.The series is highly formulaic, following the same pattern in virtually every episode: One of the main characters has a problem, and the group sets out to find a solution to it by changing into their heroic selves and entering a book. There they try to help the story's characters with their problems, eventually changing the story (by replacing/swapping words in the text) to give it a different ending. In the process, they find special "super letters" that Super Why collects in his "super duper computer" which eventually spell out a word that is the solution to the original problem. After that too is resolved, the Super Readers, now back in their normal forms, dance a little victory dance to the show's Ending Theme, and the episode ends.It should be noted that not all the books the kids enter are the typical fairy tales most children know; some are from other countries (such as the Japanese fairy tale of Momotarō, the Peach Boy), others are folk tales instead (such as Juan Bobo and the Pig, a Puerto Rican folk tale) and some are modern books such as Doctor Dolittle. The stories are usually changed to make them simpler and safer for a very young audience. While the Super Readers are animated in 3D, the storybook characters are all two-dimensional, resembling the type of pictures you see in such books.In September 2023, a series of 2D animated shorts entitled Super Why's Comic Book Adventures was announced, serving as a revival of sorts. The series sees the Super Readers - with the conspicuous exception of Alpha Pig - jump into comic books to stop "literacy villains." Super Why, Wonder Red, and Princess Presto in this series are joined by Power Paige, who uses a pencil to write and erase words, letters and punctuation. Like the TV show, it aims to teach early literacy skills to small children. It premiered on October 18.Do not confuse with Big "WHY?!".See Protegent for the lousy recolor.

Even the background music that plays when Humpty Dumpty cries for help makes it Darker and Edgier.

After Super Why changed the story of the book, both the ghost and Pig learned that Halloween is not scary at all but rather it is imaginary and theyâ€™re no longer afraid of Halloween after all. At the end, Pig joined his friends to go trick-or-treating and celebrating Halloween.

At least one episode features swapping words in a given sentence.

They all gather at the Book Club and pick out a story. They transform and fly into the story. Along the way, they collect Super Letters which help answer the question they are wondering about. After reading the story and meeting the main character, 3 problems occur that require the usage of the Super Readers' powers in order to help the character(s). Another problem occurs at the end of the story and Super Why has to use his power to change the story and it ends happily. The Super Readers fly back to Storybrook Village and solve the problem they were wondering about.

The main characters are related to or adapted from these fairy tales (namely, Princess and the Pea, The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the Beanstalk). Even characters from well-known nursery rhymes are included, such as Peter Piper (and his peck of pickled peppers) and Little Boy Blue.
