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
