Franklin

Even as an adult I love this show. It brings me back to the simplicity of childhood.

FRANKLIN (1997-2006) is a cute, wholesome animated childrens series, and although a bit older now, definitely great for young audiences.

"The popular children's books, written by Paulette Bourgeois, come alive in this television series about a turtle named Franklin. Each episode has a story of Franklin and his friends. You will follow the adventures of Franklin as he learns about the world around him, and how to be an honest turtle with good character."

This hand drawn children's show is pretty cute and entertaining, as well as educational. It's focus is on friendship and family, and moralistic life lessons make it memorable.

As a children's show, the vibe is definitely on the mellow side, making it ideal for hyper little ones. Not everything has to be so fast paced. There will be plenty of time for fast, flashy, and over-stimulating media to consume later on. This one is cute!

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.

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