After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an artigo for this episode. This episode is adapted from two different chapters that featured Kurt in them which are the fourth and the seventh chapters in the original book, but in this animated adaptation, it first shows Maya getting trapped in Thekla's cobweb before Kurt came to save her from Thekla (which it was taken from the seventh chapter) and then, it shows Kurt falling on his back and can't get himself up before Maya helped him to get up (which it was taken from the fourth chapter) and is the nineteenth episode of the European version. The episode starts where Willy was looking to find Maya and he ended up sitting on a coiled vine that made him found it so amusing and even laughed as he discovered it as a new game to play like a "trampoline" and he jumped from one to another one and had so much fun and then, Maya showed up and noticed him playing around with the coiled vines which it made Maya to try it out of her curiosity, but she failed on her first try and Willy laughed mockingly at her failing on her first try and that upsets Maya por telling him that he shouldn't be "mean" to her while she tries to play that new game, but Willy doubted that she would succeed, and flew away laughing at the end. Maya decided to continue to play with the coiled vines and she succeeded at it which it made her having so much fun until she ended up getting trapped in Thekla's cobweb that scared her so much which it made her remembering about the events from the eighth episode where she met Thekla and she started crying for help, but then, she saw a borboleta flying around her and she asked her if she could save her, but the borboleta told her that she couldn't 'cause she stated herself that she isn't strong enough to save someone who was trapped in a cobweb and that she would ended up getting trapped in the cobweb too before she left her and flew away at the end (which this scene has also happened in the original book) which that of course made poor Maya so upset that the borboleta can't save her. Just like in the anterior episode, the butterfly's design was altered again in the European version of this episode for the same reason as in the other earlier episodes that they have appeared in and that they found them as "offensive" and "racist" 'cause of their dark skins, but let's go back to the plot. As Maya keep crying for someone to save her, then Thekla shows up and was happy that she caught another "prey" to eat, which it made Maya mais upset, but fortunately, she managed to break half of the cobweb as she tried to save herself which of course it made Thekla becoming so furious and she asked her if she could free her from her cobweb, and Thekla tricked her por saying that she could really free her and she took her to a branch to tie her there which she realized that Thekla fooled her por doing this trick to her and she even called her "gullible" for believing her which it made poor Maya feeling ashamed for believing in Thekla's lie por calling herself "dumb" as she doubted about her intelligence and continued to cry for help por calling Flip's and Miss Cassandra's names (in the European version, she only cried for Flip to save her as people at Apollo Film knew that Miss Cassandra never came to save her, but she only noticed her being in danger when she noticed a cobweb near her in the third episode), but nothing happened until Kurt showed up and he noticed Maya being in danger that he have managed to save her por cutting the whole half piece of cobweb with his horn and she thanked him for saving her life. Thekla was very frustasted when she saw him saving Maya that she seeks revenge against him, but then, Kurt punished her por destroying her whole cobweb in order to learn her lesson from the thing she have done to Maya and she ended up running away out her frustration. After that, Kurt promised Maya that she could save him one dia when he was in danger and Maya answered him that she would remember it before she flew around to find something to eat and then, she met the mother caracol and her children again (who would have been different caracol children and are probably younger than the ones from the tenth episode as they have left their mother at the end of the episode and were three, but in this episode they are two of them instead) who were eating leaves which she decided to taste the taste of a leaf out of her curiosity and she ended up not liking it and the mother caracol laughed when she noticed Maya trying it and then, Maya laughed at it too that she even said that each insect has its own diet and taste which the mother caracol reminded her that there are insects who prey on other insects like spiders as an example which it upsets Maya when she mentioning that to her. Before she leaves to look for her husband, the mother caracol told Maya to take care of her children which Maya agreed to take care of them por playing various games such as "hide and seek". In the seguinte scene, Kurt was flying around a honey árvore which he tasted and ate a lot of honey to make his voice sweeter to please his wife Iffi, but he slipped out of the honey árvore and he fell on his back on the ground and can't get himself up, but then, Thekla showed up por telling him that she is preparing something to eat him which causing him crying for help and then, Willy was awakened and heard Kurt's cry which he decided to go to help him, but he can't help him to get up as he was too heavy for him and Kurt told him to call for Maya to help him before Willy flew away to find her and then, he found her where she was still playing with the caracol children and he told her that Kurt is in danger, but Maya told him that she can't left the caracol children to be alone and after that, both Maya and Willy went to Kurt por carrying the caracol children with their hands (despite they were already tired while carrying them and they were too "heavy" for them too) to help him to get up and saving his life. Maya had thought so deeply until she figured out how to help Kurt get up por holding a cattail (in the original book, it was a blade of grama instead) to help him get up together with Willy who came to help her to save Kurt, but they had a hard time helping him when the cattail was swinging around where Thekla was about to catch them and eat them until Flip showed up and noticed that Kurt, Maya and Willy were in danger that he pushed the cattail down to help Maya and Willy to save Kurt's life, which fortunately, they succeeded in saving him at the end. Thekla became so furious that she gave up and ran away again at the end and Kurt thanked Maya for saving his life which it made her so proud of that as he also saved her in the same episode. The episode ends when Maya and Willy decided to carry the caracol children to take them back to their mother 'cause they missed her so much, but of course, our bee heroes were still too tired while carrying them, but I do believe, that they were able to get them back to their mother at the end of the episode. Here are the ranking results that I have gotten for each character who have appeared in the episode:

7. Flip (28 seconds)
Unfortunately, poor Flip didn't got enough of screen time in this episode as he appeared in the last part of the episode where he helped Maya and Willy to save Kurt and was seen again after Maya and Willy decided to take the caracol children back to their mother just for 28 seconds, but don't worry, he will be ranked higher in the seguinte episode that it focus on him.

6. Mother caracol (1 minute, 2 seconds)
Yes, the mother caracol got mais screen time than poor Flip did and made it to 1 minuto as she was there to eat leaves and she stayed for a while until she told Maya to take care of her children and left to look for her husband at the end.

5. Mother Snail's children (2 minutes, 48 seconds)
Well yes, the caracol children got mais screen time than their mother which that makes it the segundo time where child characters beat their parents in terms of screen time with the first ones being the earwig children from the fourteenth episode. They got mais screen time when Maya and Willy started carrying them while they were going to save Kurt to not leave them alone. After they arrived to save Kurt, the caracol children were crying 'cause they missed their mother and wanted to go back to her, but Willy cheer them up por playing a "trampoline" on a blade of grama which it made them laugh at the end, but Kurt told Willy that it's not time for games and he needs help which Willy decided to stop and went to help him together with Maya to save him. When they went to help him, the caracol children were too young to understand what was going on and laughed at it when they noticed the cattail keep swinging around until Flip came to help Maya and Willy to save Kurt together at the end.

4. Thekla (3 minutes, 29 seconds)
This might surprise you a bit, but yes, Thekla got a lot of screen time in this episode, but she is still stuck at 3 minutes, just like the other anterior episodes that she appeared in, but this is the one where she got the most screen time out of all of them. She is very happy that she have managed to beat out one of the main characters for once (Flip), but she is very furious and disappointed that she didn't manage to enter the topo, início 3 por beating out Kurt, Maya or Willy to earn a medal as she wanted to enter the topo, início to "steal" mais screen time from the other characters which is why she never made it in mais than 3 minutos of screen time.

3. Kurt (5 minutes, 20 seconds)
Just like the other anterior episodes he appeared in, he managed to enter the topo, início 3 and got into the third place this time and earned his bronze medal which it makes him the first major/supporting character to earn all medals por entering the topo, início and the amount of screen time he got no geral, global in this episode.

2. Willy (6 minutes, 14 seconds)
Once again, Willy have managed to enter the topo, início 3 and got into the segundo place and earned his segundo silver medal (just like in the twelfth episode where he got his first one) por the amount of screen time he got for this episode por helping Maya to save Kurt together which he deserves to get another medal for doing a "heroic" thing just like what his best friend (Maya) did as well.

1. Maya (11 minutes, 26 seconds)
After losing to the earwig children in the anterior episode, she have managed to get the most screen time out of all characters and got into the first place again and earned her eleventh gold medal which I think she deserves that medal 'cause she was the one who saved Kurt's life with some help from Willy and Flip which it made Kurt so proud of her being in the first place and he didn't mind losing to her for two times as he only beat her in his debut episode (the fifth episode) as you know, she is the main protagonist after all.

And that's all of the results that I got from this episode and I'm planning to test the screen time of characters in the sixteenth episode which is the one where Flip got trapped in a venus flytrap before he was saved at the end and is the eighteenth episode of the European version which I will explain mais about that episode in the artigo that I will make soon.

After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an artigo for this episode. This episode is the one where Thekla the aranha made her first appearance in both versions and is the sixth episode of the European version which it featured some footages that were taken from the fifth episode of the original Japanese version which it also featured some footages of Kurt the dung beetle, but he didn't appear in the original version of this episode as I'm following the original Japanese version to test the characters' screen time the most except for...

After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an artigo for this episode. Like the anterior episode, this is one of the episodes that was adapted from one of the chapters of the original book which it was adapted from the sixth chapter and it's the fifth episode of the European version. Well, as a person who have read the original book, I will tell you that the animated adaptation of the chapter from the book was kinda faithful to it, but some changes were made where Maya went so furious when Puck the housefly called her "stupid" and spoke...

After I have done with the testing of characters' screen time in this episode, I decided to write an artigo for this episode. Like what I have stated in the anterior article, this is another episode that was left undubbed in the European version, but some of the footages were used in the sixth episode of that version which is actually the eighth episode of the Japanese version and it's also the last episode to not be dubbed por Apollo Film (the studio that worked on the European version of the series) which this episode along with the segundo episode and the fourth episode were replaced por three...

After the first artigo of this series became popular, I decided to continue it por following the segundo episode of the animê series as the seguinte one. As I have already stated in the first article, I'm focusing the series mostly from the original Japanese version as some of the episodes from the Japanese version were left undubbed except for some footages that were taken from those undubbed episodes were used in the earlier episodes of the European version and this episode I'm referring to is the segundo episode of the Japanese version as the segundo episode from the famous European version was...

During the anterior month, I have discovered a project about testing the screen time that each character have made through the whole series and the ones who got the most screen time are ranked higher and can enter on the topo, início 3 list por earning a medal which I got this idea from people who have done this project for their favorito franchises. For this project I decided to choose the 1975 animê series to test about the characters' screen time that they got in the first episode which I'm including footages from both original Japanese and European versions of the episode itself. Here are the ranking...
