DVD Reviews of Franklin - Franklin and the Green Knight

DVD Review: My 1 year old son loves this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Well made video. My son loves this and will sit and watch it repeatedly. He will watch these Franklin DVDs but not cartoons on the TV. The are adventurous but not full of violence and bad attitudes. They teach children good values.

DVD Review: Totally Snubbed at the Oscars....
Summary: 5 Stars

Maybe not so much, but when your 3 year old is in love with Franklin, this movie is fantastic. And an adult can watch it without wanting to stab their eyes out. A very good Franklin movie and the songs will get stuck in your head. "Wake up! Spring where are you?"

DVD Review: Grandson watches this DVD over and over again!
Summary: 5 Stars

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

DVD Review: Franklin-Green Knight
Summary: 4 Stars

This is just another wonderful story in Franklin's life. Our two boys just love watching this DVD. It's complete and interesting to watch!! I would definitely recommend this if your child likes Franklin.

DVD Review: EXCELLENT DVD FOR NEW SIBLING ARRIVAL OR NOT !
Summary: 5 Stars

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).

Description of Franklin - Franklin and the Green Knight

Everyone in Woodland is very tired of Winter and fears Spring will never come. Franklin is especially anxious because when Spring arrives, so will his new baby brother or sister. Although Franklin is excited, he is also worried that his mom and dad will no longer have time for him and that he will not be a good big brother. Franklin decides to prove himself worthy by bringing Spring to Woodland. Remembering a myth his mom told him, he assumes the role of the Green Knight and heads for the woods on his quest for Spring. With squire Snail at his side he encounters some wild adventures and an unusual cast of characters. On his search for Spring, Franklin finds true friendship with Snail, confidence in his ability to be a big brother, and assurance that his parents will have enough love for both the baby and him. This delightful film includes three original songs and is sure to entertain kids over and over again.

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
