FRANKLIN’S BEGINNING.
A beloved character of the series now has his own origin story. Follow Franklin in the Peanuts special as he moves to a new town and forges new friendships and new adventures along the way.
BEING AN ARMY BRAT IS TOUGH.
It’s hard when your father is in the military, which requires a child to move place to place wherever their family member is stationed. But what if you could find your grandfather’s notebook filled with a plethora of advice and hope to find new friendships?
JUST TRYING TO FIT IN.
Franklin finds it difficult to use these new strategies and options around new people, until he finds out about the Soap Box Derby Race in the neighborhood. Taking his grandfather’s advice of everyone loving a winner–he becomes the true underdog of the story.
CHARLIE BROWN TO THE RESCUE.
In hopes of getting some new friends, Franklin finds a partner for the race in Charlie Brown. The two quickly become friends, bonding through making a car for the race. But as the fast and furious competition approaches, so do new pressures. Do they have what it takes to race to victory? Find out!
