Franklin

It is educational, with charismatic characters and a nice atmosphere; recommended for young children.

The 2d version was the best and main attraction to treehouse next to berenstain bears, blues clues and calliou.

The reboot 3d version was, well it sucked. The characters are to different and jolly that it's sick to my stomach.

One of the more simpering and sanctimonious cartoons for very small children. The dark shadow of the moral can be spotted a mile away and taints these bland narratives with blander characters.

I don't know if your child will respond to the adventures of Franklin at his school or his friends, but the fact that they're animals doesn't affect anything and there are so much more charming stuff for this target demographic that manage to convey lessons in a more character driven spontaneous way.

Franklin was a huge part of my childhood and remains one of the most comforting and valuable shows I've ever watched. The gentle stories of Franklin the Turtle and his friends teach important life lessons about friendship, kindness, honesty, and growing up in a way that feels natural and never preachy.

The animation is simple but charming, and the characters are all memorable and lovable. Every episode offers a blend of warmth, humor, and thoughtful messages that resonate across generations. Whether it was Franklin learning to overcome his fears or helping a friend in need, each story left me feeling a little wiser and more compassionate.

Watching Franklin today still brings me nostalgia and joy, reminding me of the simpler moments of childhood. It's a perfect show for kids but also a gentle reminder to adults about the value of empathy and community.

A true ten-star gem that deserves to be treasured and shared with new generations!

Franklin is an every-turtle who is constantly exploring and discovering his world alongside his family and friends. He and his friends enjoy swimming, playing outdoors, and going to school. You heard that right, they actually enjoy school. Franklin has some great adults in his life such as his parents, his friends' parents, Mr Owl, and other relatives. The kid characters are very cool as well, including Franklin himself, Bear, Beaver, Fox, Goose, Rabbit, Otter, Snail, Badger, Skunk, Raccoon, Mole, Possum, and Moose. The problems and situations in the show are very relatable to a child (they were to me at least). Some of these include wanting a pet, having sleepovers, going to camp, losing teeth, starting school, having a friend move away, getting a new sibling, being afraid to go in the basement etc. Here is a rare show that celebrates the innocence of childhood.
