Franny's Feet

Franny's Feet is a children's animated television series created by Cathy Moss and Susin Nielsen. The show was produced by Decode Entertainment with the participation of Family Channel and in association with Channel Five Broadcasting Limited for the first two seasons. On the PBS Kids and V-me airings, New York City PBS affiliate WNET was listed as co-producer along with Decode Entertainment. The show follows the adventures of Frances "Franny" Fantootsie (a portmanteau of "fantasy" and "tootsie") as she tries on a new shoe and travels to different places in the world. It first premiered on Family Channel in Canada on July 8, 2003 and ran through April 10, 2010. In the USA, the show aired on PBS Kids in 2006. A 5-year-old named Franny visits with her grandfather every day at his shoe repair shop in Vancouver. They talk about various matters until a customer comes. The customer presents shoes needing to be repaired to her grandfather, and he gives the pair to Franny to place inside the shoe repair box. Franny tries on the footwear and they take her to a magical place such as a Native American powwow in Wyoming, a sunny beach in Jamaica, or a high mountain in China. At the end of each episode, after Franny solves the problem in a magical place, she receives a treasure and adds it to her treasure box and solves her own problem.

Why It's Mixed
Some people hated this show because of the creepy animation and the saccharaineness and some people enjoyed it because it's educational and Xenomotical.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The designs for the Loonies as babies are cute.
 * 2) Even if this show is for a preschool audience, It can be enjoying for some older kids too.
 * 3) They has some charm for the Original Looney Tunes as well but those were shown briefly since it is a preschool show.
 * 4) Good episodes like:
 * 5) *A Secret Tweet (Which was the pilot episode and started the series on a high note)
 * 6) *I Strain (Clever parodies of preschool shows)

 * 8) The animation looks great, especially in some episodes like: School Daze, Things that goes Bugs in The Night, and More.
 * 9) The backgrounds looks lighter in Season 1 but in Season 2 it got darker, making Granny's house look completely different from Season 1. But it's still good.
 * 10) Season 2 also introduced to a new character Floyd who was also likable.
 * 11) The songs (parodies of Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes) are pretty good and can be pretty catchy.
