Line 2: [[File:Franklin_Turtle_-_Soccer_Heroes_8893.jpg\|frame\|Franklin, his friends, and their two teachers.]] ''[['''Franklin]]''''' is a both a series of books and an animated children's series featuring the adventures of anthropomorphic young turtle and his group of friends. The first book in the series was released in 1986 by Kids Can Press and its popularity led to over twenty books in the original series. In 1996, [[Nelvana]] adapted the characters for an animated series that appeared on [[Nick Jr.]] in the United States, the Family Channel 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. In 2010, Nelvana [http://www.awn.com/news/television/nelvana-s-mipcom-slate-features-new-cg-franklin-and-more 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. ''Franklin'' celebrated his 25th anniversary in 2011. Line 60: * [[I Can See My House From Here]]: Rabbit does this from inside a barrel in "Franklin the Planner" on ''Franklin and Friends''. * [[I Have This Friend]]: Franklin uses this in ''Back to School With Franklin'', telling his parents that Bear has reservations about Miss Koala as the replacement teacher for Mr. Owl, when he's really the one who isn't so sure about her. * [[I ~~Have~~Need to Go Iron My Dog]]: In "Franklin's Advice," Snail uses the excuse that he has to help his father to push a pinecone to get out of sitting on Franklin's shoulder as he jumps rope, so that he won't have to reveal that he cracked his shell and is in pain. * [[I Minored in Tropology]]: The new CGI ''Franklin and Friends'' series reveals that Mrs. Turtle knows enough about teaching to occasionally serve as a substitute teacher for Mr. Owl, something which was never seen in either the books or the original TV show. * [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: In "Franklin Sees the Big Picture," upon seeing Franklin and Bear dressed as superheroes, the librarian Mrs. Goose suggests that maybe they'll have to help her rescue somebody who's "lost in a book." Line 82: * [[No Export for You]]: To this day, [[Nick Jr.]] still has never shown a number of episodes from the program's sixth season. Additionally, the CGI ''Franklin and Friends'' was premiered in Canada, with no immediate word on when U.S. viewers might see it. ** Not as bad as Malaysia, which has never gotten to see the sixth season '''at all'''. Which is pretty strange considering that TV2, the primary station that airs Franklin in Malaysia, brought in the fifth season a few months before [[Nick Jr.]] did in the US. * [[The One Who Wears Shoes]]: "Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes..." except he doesn't wear shoes, most of the time. The cast are generally [[Barefoot Cartoon ~~Animals~~Animal]]s and Franklin is usually no exception. Several of the books, however, do depict him sometimes wearing shoes and Franklin is the only character ever seen wearing boots on a cold winter's day. * [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Granny's time capsule, the titular treasure in ''Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure'', along with the talisman and photograph within it. * [[The Other Darrin]]: They managed to keep the same voice, Noah Reid, for Franklin for five seasons and two films, but then the original voice actor's voice got so deep that it just wasn't working anymore. So they got Cole Caplan, who had previously voiced a [[One-Shot Character]] named Squirrel, to do the voice. Then, for the final film, they got Cameron Ansell, one of the many voices of [[Arthur (animation)\|Arthur]]. They also ended up replacing the voices of several other characters in later seasons.
