User blog comment:Samaru163/Deltora Comparison: Jasmine, Girl of the Forest/@comment-821448-20180709230130

Filli is described as a ball of fur on several occassions. But I do not think this is what Rodda had in mind haha. And I feel you are very correct about Jasmine's character getting somewhat ruined with the added immaturity. I will also add that it is not like they did not have time or money to do the scene where Jasmine hears out Lief and Barda's explanation over the silly tree one. It would have even left room for more animation, even more scenes, like a scene of Jasmine explaining the vine and anguish thing. It is strange that they did not do this. To keep Jasmine's ability to commune with the trees a little mysterious, saving showing it to sometime later, not too late though.
