The Koala Brothers is a British stop-motion animated TV series by Famous Flying Films and Spellbound Entertainment which aired on CBeebies and Playhouse Disney. It involves a pair of koala brothers named Frank and Buster that ride in an airplane to look for others in need of help. This show is known for Frank and Buster helping out their friends with various problems such as what to do when sick, how to take care of a plant, or even help repair an ice cream truck.When Playhouse Disney became Disney Junior, repeats of the show were carried over to it. | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| The Koala Brothers / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Buster seems to fill this role, whether getting hit by planks, unable to remember putting fuel in the plane or, in one episode (when Ned decided he wants to be a pilot), when Frank accidentally leaves him behind due to Mitzi refusing to open the gate, and Buster offers to open it for them. | |

Jump Rope Blunders | |
| The Koala Brothers / int_c3acf3aa | comment |
Jump Rope Blunders: In the extended intro, Josie attempts to skip rope, only to get tied up. Josie's dilemma in "Josie's Big Jump" is that she has agreed to skip rope with Mitzi later, but every time she tries to use a jump rope, her feet always get tied up in it. As it turns out, the rope she's been using is too short, and when she uses a longer rope, she can jump perfectly. | |

Character Catchphrase: "We're here to help!", said cheerily by Frank and Buster to reinforce the Central Theme of helping others. "Cooey!", said by Mitzi to announce her arrival at a certain place (in a meta sense, to announce her entrance to a scene as well). | |

May It Never Happen Again: In "Alice's Night Mystery", it is revealed that Alice has been attempting to bake in her sleep, resulting in her kitchen being covered in flour. Frank ends up putting a lock on her cupboard (which contains the aforementioned flour) to keep her from opening it in case she does sleepwalk again. | |

Exact Words: At one point, Mitzi offers to do Ned's job with the bats during the plane takeoffs while Ned learns how to be a pilot himself. She never says anything about opening the gates, which leads to Buster getting out of the plane to open them... and being left behind by accident. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| The Koala Brothers / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Subverted in the Christmas special. By having the characters travel to Antarctica for Christmas, the show can depict snow and ice on Christmas while still having it accurately take place in summer. The show also accurately depicts constant daytime in Antarctica, unlike most northern-hemisphere Christmas specials, which show the North Pole in daytime (when it should be constant night). | |

Running Gag/Once per Episode: Whenever Frank and Buster fly the airplane out of their house, they always manage to knock over their letterbox. Mitzi's green sandals sometimes come loose, but luckily, she's smart enough to realize she's lost a sandal and put it back on the second it comes off. | |
