Franklin

1997–2004·Treehouse·23 min·6.9/10
Children

Described by Doug Thomas of Amazon.com as "a little more hip than Little Bear and a little less talky than Arthur," Franklin is a delightful cartoon about Franklin Turtle, his family and his many friends. Although Franklin is a turtle, he's like any kid his age. He attends school, enjoys playing with his friends and likes to try new things on his own, although sometimes he still he needs some help from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Turtle. He has a goldfish named Goldie and a stuffed dog named Sam. There were a few changes to Franklin throughout its run, including the introduction of a new opening sequence and the introduction of Franklin's baby sister. There were also a few cast and crew changes. However, the important things stayed the same. The program went on to air six seasons, as well as a direct-to-video movie, Franklin and the Green Knight and two other direct-to-video releases. Addi...

  7. Garfield and Friends

    1988 · Children · ended90% match

    Recommended for similar Children profile.

    An animated television series based on the life's work of comic strip artist Jim Davis. It was a very long running Saturday morning cartoon, second to The Smurfs. Garfield & Friends contains Garfield, as well as a bonus adaptation of U.S. Acres, which is another newspaper comic about Jon Arbuckle's family farm that was published for a few years. Garfield also had several television specials made, and produced by the same crew that did Charlie Brown & Snoopy. Garfield & Friends also adapted the non-arc strips into animation, now known as "Quickies". No other Saturday Morning Cartoon has been as successful since then, because in 1993 inflation negatively impacted them. The production staff openly protested against the budget cuts by adding a very bossy U.S. Acres character named Aloysius whose purpose is to get in everybody's way. One of Garfield's theme songs promises plenty of parties and propelling pie projectiles.
