Duration:

40 minutes

What was this film/show/game about?:

The woodland critters return from the summer and instead of seeing the wise Owl, they see a scooter riding Koala as their teacher.

The story and the production overview notes:

Franklin was being a blister for no real reason. He became depressed and had to act like he's entitled to a specific teacher.

They found people from Australia strange. I don't get it.

It did lack growth. Franklin came to terms with the teacher quite quickly, The development was fine.

Franklin's sister story was very pointless and was likely used to fill time.

Overall:

A nice little movie for children. For a 2003 film it did look really fresh for 2024.

Highlight:

Soccer match was kind of cool

Moral: Get to know people, try new things and don't act like you are entitled to anything.

Villain:

Franklin for being a blister.

Punny Rating:

Back to skool and Franklin still ends up as a fool

Final Words:

B-

Another extended episode; it is fine for entertaining very young children.
