Franklin	comment	Franklin (Franklin the Turtle) is a Canadian series of children's books written by Paulette Bourgeois and illustrated by Brenda Clark, featuring the adventures of an anthropomorphic young turtle and his group of friends. The first book in the series, Franklin in the Dark, was released in 1986 by Kids Can Press and its popularity led to over twenty books in the original series.In 1997, the Canadian animation studio Nelvana adapted the characters for an animated children's series with the same name that appeared on Nick Jr. and CBS in the United States, Family Channel and Treehouse TV in Canada, and has since been seen around the world. In each story, Franklin explores themes and values of importance to kids, including the first day of school, a first sleepover and the importance of perseverance and being true to one's friends. The animated series is often deemed as among the best shows created by Nelvana, as well as one of the true icons of Canadian television animation.In 2010, Nelvana announced the production of a new CGI series, Franklin and Friends, ordered for 26 episodes, featuring familiar favorites and a new character, Aunt T. The series was previewed on Treehouse TV on February 14, 2011 and began regular broadcasts in March. In the United States, it began airing in Nickelodeon's morning block on February 13, 2012, nearly a year after it was first seen in Canada. In September 2013 it also premiered in the UK.Franklin celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2011. There were a total of four films released for the original Franklin series: Franklin and the Green Knight: The Movie, Franklin's Magic Christmas, Back to School with Franklin and Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure. Franklin and Friends has two to date: Polar Explorer and Deep Sea Voyage. Both were made with the participation of the theme park SeaWorld, which also hosts a Franklin attraction at its park in Orlando, Florida.Two Franklin CD releases are known to be available. The first, Hey, It's Franklin!, was released in 2000 and includes music from the film Franklin and the Green Knight, as well as two different stage shows. The second is called Franklin & the Adventures of the Noble Knights and features the music from a 2010 stage show by that name.Nelvana has also made every episode of both the original series and Franklin and Friends available on YouTube through both the show's official channel and Treehouse Direct.

Franklin / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Franklin / int_14ed6ab7	comment	"Franklin and the Pinecone Pass" has more thinly veiled subtext. Franklin wants to play with Bear, but runs into Rabbit and Bear enjoying Rabbit's game. Franklin immediately gets jealous and intervenes by trying to get Bear to play his game but they're having too much fun together. Franklin fears and laments that Bear has left him for a a new "best friend". The show likes to have close pairs like Franklin/Bear, Beaver/Goose, Fox/Rabbit, and then Franklin tells Fox his predicament. Fox thinks it's silly because even though Rabbit is playing with Bear, they are still best friends with Fox and Franklin, respectively. Franklin learns that you can still be "best friends" with someone even if they hang out or play with other people or someone else's "best friend". note Uhhh...yeah...all this "best friend" talk...subtlety is out the window.

Their refuge is the treefort, but it doesn't last very long at all, as Snail quickly points out the flaws in the idea. Then, when they go back to Franklin's' place to get some supplies, they get found hiding in the closet after hiding there because Bear knocked on the door. He brought the book back, having renewed it. When Mrs. Turtle finds them in the closet, they blurt out their whole "living in the treefort" plan.

Franklin / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: When Paulette Bourgeois first wrote Franklin in the Dark, she neglected to mention exactly how and where Franklin got his nightlight from. The Nelvana adaptation rectifies this by having Mr. Turtle, who was absent in the original story, giving Franklin a jar of fireflies, which he places next to his shell. The stage show adaptation of Franklin's Class Trip, "Franklin's Big Adventure," adds the character of Miss Carbunkel the museum guide and a dinosaur that Franklin and Snail sing a song with. (When asked if he eats trees, he replies "Just the leaves— I'm a ve-ge-tar-i-an!") In the book, Franklin and Snail are worried about the possibility of meeting real, scary dinosaurs at the museum, only to learn that dinosaurs are extinct and the museum only has fossils/skeletons. The first season was based almost entirely on material from the original books, but the show then went on to air five seasons of original material, as well as a CGI sequel. The first two movies were also based loosely on elements from the books, the first more so than the second.

He and his friends get tricked, however, because while there is one of these at the party, it's not Bear, who is home sick with a cold.

Franklin / int_27a40541	comment	Furry Confusion: On one side of the scale, we have Franklin, Beaver, Goose, Bear, Eagle, etc, which are all semi-anthropomorphic: they almost look like their real world counterparts but are capable of speaking a common language and often the four legged animals walk on two. On the other hand, we have the Henry (a hamster - two hamsters actually, both named Henry), Goldie (Franklin's pet goldfish) and a baby duckling, and many other birds who are purely zoomorphic. In "Franklin Migrates" (also available in book form as "Franklin Celebrates"), Franklin meets Goose's extended family, who all behave much more like regular geese by migrating to the south in the winter. The book version even goes so far as to suggest that Goose doesn't agree with her parents' practice of staying put. As the other geese fly away, Goose whispers "One day I will be with them, Franklin." Then there was the story of Franklin wanting a pet dog. (His realization that a pet dog didn't suit him was how he ended up getting Goldie instead.) The "Wake Up, Spring" song in Franklin and the Green Knight has Rabbit getting pelted by nuts after pestering a squirrel resting a tree while searching for signs of spring. Which is odd, because this series does have fully anthropomorphic squirrels. Non-anthro squirrels were also seen in some installments of the original television show. Franklin and the Green Knight also has what appear to be non-anthro deer, seen in the reprise of that song, performed by the characters. In Franklin's Magic Christmas, Franklin's grandparents own a non-anthro cat named Whsikers, but also receive a visit from their anthro-doggy neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Collie. Also, the reindeer are non-anthro, but nevertheless possessed of magic flying powers.

Franklin / int_3db32baa	comment	New Baby Episode: In the Franklin and the Green Knight movie, Franklin learns that his mother is pregnant and that he'll have a new baby sister when spring arrives. However, winter is lasting longer than usual, so Franklin decides to become a knight to seek spring (while also worrying about not getting enough attention). At the end, his baby sister Harriet is born. In "Franklin's Baby Sister" (this is the book version of Franklin and the Green Knight), Franklin's mother gets pregnant and is due to give birth in spring. Franklin is excited, but he gets dismayed that he has to wait until winter is over. His baby sister Harriet is born at the end, and he's happy to see her. In "Franklin and the Baby", Bear's mom is pregnant. Bear is initially excited, until his baby sister Beatrice is born and he doesn't get as much attention as he used to. His mother tells him that his parents still love him and since Beatrice is still little, she needs to be looked after.

Franklin throws a pinecone at Bear to get his attention but he doesn't blame Franklin even though he is an Honor Before Reason fellow. Franklin cries over losing Bear and how he left him for Possum, like someone after a break-up.

The third film, Back to School with Franklin, opened with a summer sequence and the rest of the film was set in... well, still summer most likely technically, since it was the start of a school year, and summer doesn't end until later in September.

In the first book, Franklin in the Dark, Franklin used to be afraid of going into his shell and dragged it around with him everywhere. He wears it for the remainder of the series. In addition, Franklin's parents used to be quadrupedal, and so did some of Franklin's friends, who were all much bigger than Franklin until they were all reduced to nearly the same height. In the book version of Franklin is Bossy, Mr. Mole is referred to as simply "Mole." In the book version of Franklin is Messy, Franklin's friends are okay with Franklin using a stick in place of a toy sword. In the television series, their reaction, indicated to be copied from their parents, is that he'll poke someone's eye out.

At first nobody notices the visible cracks on the globe, but just as Franklin and Bear prepare to tell the truth, Goose accidentally bumps into the damaged globe when going to sharpen her pencil, revealing to Mr. Owl and the others that it's broken, leading Goose to think she broke it and start thinking she is The Klutz, much to Franklin and Bear's relief... for a while.

"Franklin and the Pinecone Pass" has more thinly veiled subtext. Franklin wants to play with Bear, but runs into Rabbit and Bear enjoying Rabbit's game. Franklin immediately gets jealous and intervenes by trying to get Bear to play his game but they're having too much fun together. Franklin fears and laments that Bear has left him for a a new "best friend". The show likes to have close pairs like Franklin/Bear, Beaver/Goose, Fox/Rabbit, and then Franklin tells Fox his predicament. Fox thinks it's silly because even though Rabbit is playing with Bear, they are still best friends with Fox and Franklin, respectively. Franklin learns that you can still be "best friends" with someone even if they hang out or play with other people or someone else's "best friend". note Uhhh...yeah...all this "best friend" talk...subtlety is out the window. "Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure" has Franklin meet Sam, his Aunt Lucy's goddaughter. After starting off on the wrong foot, Franklin is encouraged to be nice to Sam. Over the course of the film, he spends more time with Sam than his friends. While Beaver and Snail don't seem to mind, Bear grows more and more jealous and resentful of Sam. The final straw comes when Sam suggests they spilt into teams to find the treasure and Franklin decides to spilt up with Sam and doesn't include him. Bear storms off and when Franklin goes to talk to him, Bear rants at him for forgetting about them and says it's like Sam is his girlfriend, coming off like a jealous boyfriend. He feels better once Franklin reassures him that they'll always be best friends and that his behavior towards Sam is because his parents made him.

Franklin / int_66cef86d	comment	School Play: The first came in the first season story "Franklin's School Play" (based on the book by the same name) and featured The Nutcracker as the play. In the story, Franklin was the Nutcracker Prince, but had to overcome stage fright to perform the role. The second play was in the third season story "Franklin's Starring Role," a performance of Sleeping Beauty. In this story, Franklin doesn't have stage fright anymore, and is upset when he is assigned the role of stage manager, thinking his teacher Mr. Owl doesn't think he's good enough to have a part. In the end, he learns that Mr. Owl gave him the role of stage manager because he felt he was responsible and he wanted to give others a chance to play roles after Franklin had the lead in the last play. The third play was in the film Franklin and the Green Knight, a performance of a fairy tale picture book popular in Woodland: The Quest of the Green Knight. Franklin again takes the lead role this time, as the Green Knight, though the film is also about him thinking that he could truly become the Green Knight and bring Spring, as the Green Knight in the story does. The Franklin and Friends story "Franklin Switches it Up" has the final play, a swashbuckling adventure written by Rabbit and Snail called Pirates from Space.

Miss Koala, calling roll, gets through several of the character names and then refers to Franklin as "Turtle" and Beaver laughs. He tells her that she's Franklin, not "Turtle." She apologizes and asks if there are any other surprises. Everyone just sort of shakes their heads. Once the kids started getting siblings, though, they had to start coming up with other names. Franklin's sister was Harriet, but the other character's siblings still fit the theme, such as Beatrice (Bear's sister) and Kit (Beaver's brother.)

Though their fears are dismissed as silly, they turn out to be justified. When the other kids get tired of being told what to do, they decide to go play in the treehouse, but right before they enter, it gets blown down by a stiff wind. Everyone is immediately repentant to Bear & Franklin and everyone pitches in (with adult help) to build a new treehouse. Played a bit more straight in the fire-safety story "Franklin and the Fire," in which Franklin tries to remove anything from the Turtle family household that he thinks could be a potential fire hazard, including candles and a toaster.

Franklin / int_7315fd38	comment	Covers Always Lie: The cover artwork of Kaboom! Presents Christmas Carols, a compilation volume featuring Franklin and other shows, depicts Franklin holding his little sister Harriet, who is placing a hat on top of a snowman. It's a cute picture, but of the four Franklin stories featured on the release, only one of them is post Franklin and the Green Knight, "Franklin's First Star." It's a story focused on Franklin and his friends and Harriet barely appears in it, if at all. The cover artwork of the Franklin and Friends release "Sharing is Caring" shows Franklin presenting a drawing of a heart to Harriet. Again, it's a deliberately cute picture, but there's no scene like this in any of the stories on the DVD and Harriet only appears in one of them. Seems whoever did the DVD covers for Kaboom liked the little tike or at least thought she's quite marketable. "Family Day," another of the compilation releases, is even worse by having Harriet prominently on both the front and the back, despite all of the Franklin stories on the DVD being from before the fifth season.

Furthermore, in "Franklin's Campout," Mr. Turtle tells Franklin that he'll have to brush his teeth after eating a marshmallow snack, so apparently turtles have teeth on Franklin and Friends. And yet, in the third season story "Franklin and the Lost Lost Tooth," Franklin says quite clearly that "Turtles don't have teeth." (Somebody make up their mind!)

Franklin / int_81ae45f2	comment	Fantasy Helmet Enforcement: There's at least one character whose ears stick straight up through their helmet. There's no story about someone getting in trouble because they don't think helmets are cool. There is, however, one entirely focused around Franklin getting a fancy new helmet with a flashing light on top because he's outgrown his old one and some of the other kids find the new helmet goofy. When he hears the kids making fun of that type of helmet, he hides it and tries to borrow his friend Bear's to use for a bike safety rally, only to be told that you should never wear a helmet that hasn't been specifically fitted for you. In the end, another friend helps him to see that it doesn't matter if the other kids think the helmet is dorky and the bike safety officer suggests that the flashing light could be a useful safety feature. He is seen wearing this helmet throughout the rest of the series. Fridge Logic; Franklin being a turtle, wouldn't his head be at more risk since the helmet would prevent him from fully retracting his head into his shell? Oh, and Franklin and Harriet are seen wearing seatbelts (and Harriet in an appropriate child safety seat) the few times that they're shown in a car.

Bear gains confidence and does stuff well until he finds out that it's not a real four-leaf clover— but then his friends remind him that since it wasn't real, that means he did everything on his own.

At one point, they and particularly Giggler (Rabbit), blow around a bunch of milkweed seeds to try to attract monarchs, only to learn that monarchs just lay their eggs on the plants and aren't attracted by the seeds. Later, they do tai-chi on Aunt T's advice to try to relax and notice things. Franklin, which his eyes closed, gets tickled by some milkweed blown by the wind. He tells Rabbit to stop blowing it, but Rabbit says the trope word-for-word. Franklin opens his eyes, sees the wind is blowing it, and realizes they can follow the wind to where the milkweed plants and therefore the monarchs are.

Unless, of course, "doesn't have any pets" is just code for Henry having died and the characters not wanting to talk about it directly, but Franklin has never been afraid to tackle to tough issues before. In "Who's Who in Woodland, Franklin?", Franklin and Bear are entirely unaware that Mr. Groundhog is the town weather forecaster and has many interesting weather gadgets. But Franklin learned all about the weather from Mr. Groundhog, as well as his gadgets, in the original show. In Back to School with Franklin, Harriet was upset that she was losing her daily playmate because Beatrice was a year older than her and was starting preschool. In "Franklin's School" on Franklin and Friends, however, it's indicated that both are the same age and neither has ever been to school before, but both will soon be starting school with Mr. Owl. Despite Skunk not being a regular character in Franklin and Friends, a skunk character was a seen a few times in earlier episodes. Then, the 2014 book Franklin and the Case of the New Friend, revealed that the kids were under the impression that there were no skunk families in Woodland and surprised when they found a photo of a skunk family. They dressed up as the Super Cluepers and discovered a shy skunk girl named, well, Skunk, and invited her to play with them and join the Super Cluepers.

Franklin / int_b2279346	comment	Retcon: A number of the TV Storybooks insert Franklin's sister Harriet into stories in which she didn't appear in the TV version because she wasn't born until after the fourth season of the program. In "It's Father's Day, Franklin!" in the Franklin and Friends series, Goose reveals that her parents are divorced, which is definitely at least a "Wait, what?!" for long time viewers and possibly a retcon, as this was never mentioned in any of the books, nor six seasons and four movies of the original television show. Mr. Goose was seen before in the original television program (he's Woodland's pharmacist) and Franklin once visited Gooses's house for a party, but this never came up. It's as good an explanation as any though for why Mr. Goose is so rarely seen. Alternatively, this can be seen as a revision of sorts, as it is heavily implied that the Franklin and Friends series takes place a while after the original Franklin show; with the fact that Goose's parents filed for divorce in between this time frame. Season 3's "Franklin and the Copycat" has Mr. Mole teaching Mr. Turtle to play golf for the first time, while Season 5's "Franklin Plays Golf" at the very least heavily implies that Mr. Turtle is an accomplished golfer with his own set of clubs who eagerly anticipates each new golf season. No matter how you slice the timeline, or lack of one, on this series, something about that just doesn't quite tally. In one of the stories from Franklin and Friends, Franklin tries to teach Goose to fly, with it eventually being decided that it's okay for her to wait until she's a bit older. But in Franklin and the Green Knight, Goose flew twice in the "Wake Up, Spring" song (one of these flights is actually shown in the intro when you load the DVD), and there were possibly other instances of flight in the original series as well.

The episode "Franklin Says Sorry" also deals with this (but more directly, the importance of apologizing for something.) Bear makes a flag for the group's make believe ship, and reluctantly shows Franklin when he notices him sneaking it there. Bear entrusts Franklin with keeping it a secret. Fox bugs Franklin to tell him the secret, promising not to tell, and Franklin does so. But when he and Bear return, we find Fox showing the flag to the others. The flag ends up getting ripped, leaving Bear furious with Franklin. After a few unsuccessful attempts to make things right, he finally lures Bear to the treehouse, and learns that the word "sorry" is more important than you think.

Franklin / int_c006a73a	comment	Removable Shell: Franklin and all of his family members have shells that are removable. Played with in a fire safety story in which Mr. Turtle found that he could not evacuate his house by the window unless he first removed his shell. This doesn't seem to be the case in Franklin and Friends, though, in which Franklin is never seen removing his shell, nor hiding in it. Additionally, he mentions that it grows with him, and it can also get itchy, both of which suggest that it's an integrated part of his body.

Instead, they did an entire story in the first season about how Moose moved to town, joined Franklin's class and the two became friends. He was then never seen again, the most likely explanation being that he was just too awkward to draw, given his large size and antlers. There are any of a number of other characters that have simply come and gone with no explanation. Franklin and Friends has been better about this, at least so far, anyway. Badger is nowhere to be seen in this new series, but otherwise they seem to have pretty much picked a stable cast of characters to stick with. Porcupine (of Franklinâ€™s generation), also only had one appearance on the show (around the same time, ironically enough). Unlike Moose, though, she was a case of Remember the New Guy?.

The monsters are Viras, Jiger, Barugon, and Gyaos, all of which come from another series that "coincidentally" involves a Turtle Protagonist... The film title Franklin and the Green Knight may be a reference to the Arthurian legend Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. That story also features a test of character. Little Red Riding Hood is the play that Franklin, Bear, Beaver and Goose perform in "Franklin and the Puppet Play." In Franklin the Photographer, Franklin says d'oh! after being distracted by Bear from photographing a butterfly.

Franklin / int_c8d4373b	comment	Mistakes Are Not the End of the World: This is the basic Aesop of "Franklin's Soccer Field Folly." During a soccer match, Franklin accidentally gets his shell turned around backwards and unable to see properly, ends up scoring on his own goal. Everyone laughs about it, but he personally doesn't find it funny. What really gets his goat, though, is that throughout the day his best friend Bear continues to make light of the incident. He eventually snaps at him in a way that shocks him and all of his friends. When he gets home, he explains what happened to his parents. Mr. Turtle then shares a story of a time when he belched in the middle of a recital of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" at school. After a brief moment of shocked embarrassment, there was nothing else for it but for him to laugh it off himself. Mrs. Turtle then shares her own story of being out shopping with Harriet that morning. She grabbed an orange from a precariously placed stack and the entire pile toppled onto the floor. Harriet got a good laugh out of it and Mrs. Muskrat, who happened to be there shopping also, quipped that the forgot to put oranges on her shopping list and stopped to help pick them up. Hearing these stories helps Franklin to see that he was too hard on Bear and he ends up inviting him to dinner to apologize. During the dinner, Bear has trouble squirting the mustard for his hot dog and ends up getting it all over his shirt. Franklin busts out giggling and after a brief moment, Bear looks down at his shirt and quips "Mustard, anyone?" resulting in an "Everybody Laughs" Ending.

And, indeed, the next shot shows that they certainly are, and so is the library's floor.

They try to get out, only to end up circling right back to where they started. They then decide it's best to stay right where they are until someone comes looking for them.

Because Otter moved away a couple of episodes in, the opening was edited for the second season with a different set of clips from other Series 1 episodes. The footage is taken from both segments from episode 4-6 ("Franklin Has a Sleepover", "Franklin's Halloween", "Franklin Rides a Bike", "Franklin is Messy", "Franklin Fibs" and "Franklin's Blanket") and the first segments from Episodes 7, 9, and 11 ("Franklin is Bossy", "Franklin's School Play" and "Franklin and the Tooth Fairy").

Adult characters are generally named using the rule of Species Surname, i.e. Mr. and Mrs. Turtle, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, etc. If a character is given a sibling, a Punny Name is generally used fitting the animal theme, i.e. Bear's little sister Beatrice "Bea" Bear, or Beaver's little brother Kit.

It turns out she's only moving out of her old home in Woodland, but she appreciates the party nevertheless, as she was truly sad about moving, despite the fact that she wasn't leaving town. The entire plot of the game Franklin: A Birthday Surprise is based around the player helping the cast to plan a surprise party for Franklin's best friend, Bear. In "Franklin's All Ears," Franklin and Snail both become convinced that Franklin's friends are planning one of these after Snail overhears a snippet of conversation and the two come to an incorrect conclusion. (They only wanted to give Franklin his lost soccer ball that they had found.) In the end, they end up having a party anyway because Franklin and Snail gathered up party supplies. "Hurry Up, Franklin!" has Franklin making his way to Bear's surprise party, but he gets distracted by his friends and various things he collects on the way. He helps Snail and him make it to the surprise just in time and gives all of the things he found, including Bear's missing blue cap, to Bear as a birthday gift.

She tells him that nobody expected to actually know, that her grandma only wanted to teach him the dance, and that her grandfather's just grumpy because Franklin's jokes are funnier than his.
