Franklin's first feature-length film finds the agreeable little green turtle in a first-rate fix. It's almost spring, the season Franklin's due to become a big brother, but winter won't loosen its icy grip on Woodland, home to his reptilian family and a host of animal friends. Franklin's in a freezing-weather-inspired funk and, to complicate matters, not everybody thinks the arrival of a new baby turtle will add up to a barrel of laughs. Beaver warns about babies' attention-hogging habits, and Snail suspects a sibling will spoil his special friendship with Franklin. One snowy day, Franklin's mom relates the tale of the Quest of the Green Knight. In it, a fearless frog swaggers into the forest on a mission to retrieve a reticent springtime for his townspeople. The frog runs into a few snags--fire-breathing dragons and such--but is ultimately successful. Franklin is inspired; if he can secure spring for Woodland, the grownups in his life will stop the syrupy baby talk and celebrate his heroics. With Snail as his squire, he sets off, glory bound. Instead of returning with green grass and daffodils, though, Franklin comes home with his humility. Along the journey, a fierce-looking but friendly eagle and a scrappy mother warbler (the guardian of a cherry tree bearing magical springtime-spreading blossoms), imparted a life-changing lesson: "Sometimes doing something good isn't good enough if you're doing it for the wrong reasons." Franklin and the Green Knight is perfectly paced for the very young. Children ages 2 to 6--especially those on the verge of becoming big brothers or sisters themselves--will be taken in by its gentleness and uncomplicated, kindly characters. Three non-grating songs interspersed in the 70-minute video deliver, in warm voices, lyrics that linger--a bonus because subsequent hummings bring to mind the movie's never overbearing message, one that every youngster, only child or not, ought to meet up with on the bumpy road to becoming a big kid. --Tammy La Gorce

 Grandson watches this DVD over and over again! August 13, 2007
Lori McCain (Lordsburg, NM)
I loved this DVD because it explains how an older little turtle adjusts to a new baby sister. Even though Franklin goes through the same emotions that any boy or girl would about being left out when his new baby sister comes, in the long run he's happy to be the big brother. My grandson watches this DVD a lot and I plan on getting more DVD's of Franklin just because he's about worn this one out and I almost have it memorized! LOL Lori, Lordsburg, NM

SUCH A CUTE STORY WITH CATCHY MUSIC AND LYRICS (SOME ARE FUNNY) FRANKLIN FEELS A LITTLE JEALOUS THAT HIS FAMILY IS MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT A NEW BABY COMING IN THE SPRING. HIS FRIENDS ALSO TELL HIM WHAT A PAIN BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAN BE. BUT IN THE END, WHEN SHE'S BORN, SHE LOOKS AT HIM, GIVES A FEW COO'S AND HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH HIS BRAND NEW LITTLE BABY SISTER AND EVEN LANDS UP NAMING HER. MY KIDS DON'T WATCH FRANKLIN FREQUENTLY, BUT THEY ARE DRAWN INTO THIS MOVIE WHEN IT'S ON. THEY ALSO ENJOY SINGING ALONG WITH THE SONGS. IT'S DEFINITLY WORTH ADDING TO YOUR CHILDS MOVIE COLLECTION (EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING A SIBLING).
LOVE IT! May 29, 2003

Great Movie, DVD Only Makes It Better March 8, 2003

"Franklin and the Green Knight" is a top-notch production in so many ways. The story itself is very charming, captivating and enough to hold the interest of a wide variety of viewers. The music is well-done, from the feature's vocal musical numbers to the excellently scored background music. The animation is bright and colorful and the characters are all well-suited to their roles. The DVD enhances all of this. One of the best special features is a "making-of" featurette, which includes interviews with Paulette Bourgeois (the author of the "Franklin Books"), Noah Reid (voice of Franklin), Kristen Bone (voice of Snail) and many other crew associated with the program. Also including is a "music video" feature which lets viewers quickly view any of the movie's musical numbers. For those that have a DVD-Rom on their computer, there are also games.
