Franklin

Franklin's Magic Christmas

Season 4, Aired 11/6/01

Episode Summary

In Franklin's Magic Christmas, both Franklin and Harriet have grown and this year they're going to be spending Christmas at Faraway Farm where Mrs. Turtle grew up. Everyone's excited to go, but conflict is created because in Franklin's eyes, Harriet is getting special treatment that she doesn't deserve. This is aggravated more when Harriet's antics cause him to leave his favorite stuffed toy Sam behind at home in the snow. At Faraway Farm, Franklin tries to contact his friend Bear, only to find that he can't reach him. Franklin later becomes even more disenchanted with Harriet when she spills plans for a special surprise for Grandpa Turtle. It seems like things couldn't get any worse, but when an ice storm hits the farm, Franklin is left without any means to try and contact Bear and then Grandpa injures his leg when Mr. and Mrs. Turtle leave to check on the neighboring Collie family. Franklin comes up with a risky plan to try to bring him help all the way from Woodland, but it'll take a magical solution to keep him (and Harriet, who snuck along) from becoming trapped out in the snow.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Based on the apparent timeline, viewers are apparently expected to believe that Franklin and his friends have aged approximately four or more years since the first season of the show. Edit
- Franklin and Harriet are both shown sleeping in beds in their grandparents' house in "Franklin's Magic Christmas," yet in "Franklin in the Dark" and other Franklin stories, Franklin sleeps on the floor, inside his shell. Edit
- In "Franklin's Magic Christmas," Franklin's family has a large yellow car with a roof. In the TV series, the Turtle family car is white and has nothing but a windshield. Also, the Turtle family household has received some kind of paint job, as it's now brown instead of its normal white color. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- After singing the first verse of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" while riding to Dr. Bear's, Franklin continues, singing the rarely heard fifth verse of the song. You can read all five verses here. Edit
- Sirius, the "Dog Star," is the closest star to Earth other than the sun and therefore the brightest star in the sky at night. Learn more about Sirius here. Edit
- This movie makes references to skills that Franklin had learned in previous episodes. One example is when he does wood-working, as seen in "Franklin the Trooper" Another is knot-tying, but unfortunately Franklin doesn't seem to have learned his lesson from "Franklin Camps Out," as Rosie easily slips free of the knot he makes to hold her.

Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Franklin: Look, Harriet. It's Sam. It's okay. You can play with him. Harriet: 'Kay! Franklin: But I want him back by bedtime. There's only so much sharing a big brother can do. Edit
- Franklin: It's Christmas Eve. I bet the reindeer have a lot to do tonight. Harriet: Santee Claus? Franklin: Maybe. Edit
