While I can't speak for creepy, I think the "condescending to the extreme" and "extremely hypnotic" come from the fact that you are looking back as a (young?) adult with all the experiences of your life, and the ability to look at things from a nuanced, complicated way.

Yes, sometimes we treat children like, well, children, and protect them more than they need. But they also can't understand Tolstoy and talk of microeconomics (even if some people think so. Look at all the idiots who were convinced that Sesame Street told children jail was totally ok rather than saying "hey, just because your mom/dad is in jail doesn't mean YOU are a bad person" or were equally angry on the other side that the show didn't go into a long diatribe about how everyone in jail didn't do terrible things). Shows like Sesame Street and MRN, etc, were written for children in language they understand.

Tl;dr: when you hear things in simplified speech as an adult, you hear condescending and hypnotic, but as a child it was just the language you needed to understand what was going on.
