DVD Reviews of Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure
DVD Review: Not a good story for a 4y.o.
Summary: 2 Stars
I failed to read the reviews completely before buying this DVD for my 4yo son, who normally loves Franklin, and I regret buying this. I totally agree with the other reviewers who commented on the mature story lines: granny reliving the story of her parents dying in a fire upset my son so much that he did not want to watch the rest of it. I convinced him to keep watching, saying that when movies have a sad part, a happy part is to come, but then there were some sad/scary sub plots as the gang went on the hunt for the time capsule -- Snail gets carried away by a bird and almost eaten! I guess it has a happy ending, but at this point, my son did not want to finish it! The animation is definately different, as well as some of the voices, but this doesn't really make a difference for those who are used to the tv show. Might be ok for kids a little older.DVD Review: heartwarming adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
My children, now ages 4 and 5, love this movie! They first watched it over a year ago, and they still ask to rent it from the library. Now I am buying it for my daughter's 6th birthday, as she still loves Franklin movies and books so much. The movie does include a dying grandmother, and it tells how the grandmother's parents died in a fire many years ago, but it doesn't scare my children. Instead, it moves my children to think and feel deeply, and have sympathy for others. In the end, Franklin is a hero and the story has a happy ending.DVD Review: Do not recommend
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this movie was pretty morbid and was missing the careless and normally heartwarming story lines that you expect from Franklin. It starts out nice with Franklin's Auntie coming home for a visit as she's normally out traveling the world as an archeologist and there's a nice family reunion. But the major part of the movie comes next with Franklin's very sad Granny who spends most of the beginning of the movie grieving the loss of her parents as a child. We even get to see a flashback as she tells Franklin and her daughter's Godchild where she watches her parents die in their home as it succumbs to flames from a forest fire. "Granny" the little girl then has to paddle out to the middle of Turtle Lake to save herself as she collapses in tears as she realizes her parents are gone. I find it hard to believe that this was necessary. Then Granny has an "accident" where falls into a coma and is unconscious for pretty much the rest of the film. Because of how morbid I found this movie, I threw the film out before my daughter could watch it. If you want to give this movie a chance, I recommend watching it before allowing your child to watch it. DVD Review: franklin video

This is a very colorful and interesting video. I bought it for my two year old grandson.HE loves it.DVD Review: Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD arrived quickly. It is a cute movie and my 3 1/2 year old enjoys watching it over and over. if you are familiar with the Franklin cartoon, the cartoon graphic style is a little different and the faces of some of the characters are different, the older style cartoon is visually more pleasing.
Description of Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure
Franklin the Turtle is on holiday and gets a suprise visit from Aunt Lucy, an explorer whose specialty is finding archaeological treasures. When Granny suddenly falls ill, Aunt Lucy helps Franklin and his friends find the box that may contain the cure. The search for the box leads the friends through thrilling exploits but Aunt Lucy's goddaughter Samantha, a sassy young Turtle, complicated things with her bossy behavior. So it;s up to Franklin - who uses all his diplomatic skills - to keep things peaceful and focused on finding the box - and what's inside...The importance of family can't be overstated, so when Franklin's archaeologist Aunt Lucy returns home after an extended absence, Franklin's entire family wants to celebrate. Aunt Lucy's goddaughter Samantha (Sam) has accompanied Aunt Lucy on her summer travels and, unfortunately, her superior attitude toward Franklin sparks an immediate rivalry. When Franklin, his friends Bear, Beaver, and Snail; Aunt Lucy, and Sam hatch a plan to go searching for buried treasure, they head to Franklin's Granny to hear the story of how she buried a tin box time capsule at nearby Turtle Lake many years ago. When Granny is suddenly taken ill, it looks like the treasure hunt will be cancelled, but Granny's sleepy whisperings about finding the time capsule give the treasure hunt a whole new sense of urgency. The gang sets out to retrieve the treasure, sure that the time capsule contains an old talisman that will magically cure Granny. In the end, the treasure hunt teaches the group a lot about the power of working together and the true value of family and friendship. (Ages 2 to 6) --Tami Horiuchi
