About Franklin's Magic Christmas
Franklin and his family are off on a Christmas visit with Grandma and Grandpa at Faraway Farm. When a sudden ice storm hits and Grandpa takes a terrible tumble, Franklin and his baby sister Harriet begin a magical adventure as they journey home in search of help. With the aid of a mysterious flying creature and some very special new friends, the two manage to return with Doctor Bear and her family. Once back together, friends and family share an enchanted Christmas Ever and a memory they will hold forever of a magical Christmas night.
Directed by John van Bruggen, Franklin's Magic Christmas leans on a strong ensemble — Noah Reid, Chris Wiggins, Richard Newman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2001.
