Back to School with Franklin is the third Franklin movie, released direct-to-video and on DVD. The film was directed by Arna Selznick.
Cole Caplan takes over for Noah Reid as the voice of Franklin the Turtle, ushering in the sixth season of the program, which would not make its way to the United States until 2006. He is joined by Bryn McAuley, who has voiced his sister Harriet since the first film and Carolyn Scott as the voice of a replacement teacher.
The main plot focuses around Franklin and his friends starting a new year of school, only to find that their teacher Mr. Owl (James Rankin) is absent. Their replacement teacher, Miss Koala, pulls up on a motorbike and at first Franklin finds her weird. She uses phrases such as "fair dinkum" and wants to create a brand-new soccer team. Soon, however, he and everyone else in the class are won over by her "can-do" attitude.
Meanwhile, Franklin's sister Harriet is upset because her best friend Beatrice has gone to preschool, meaning that she can't play with her for most of the day on weekdays. Her spirits are raised when she meets a new friend, Kit (Amanda Soha), but Kit is a bit shy and may not be ready for Harriet's rough-and-tumble play.
Synopsis
C’est la fin des vacances d’été et la rentrée des classes pour Franklin. Sa petite sœur est triste car elle va devoir jouer toute seule, mais Franklin est très content de retrouver ses copains et son maître, M. Hibou. Mais le jour de la rentrée, ce n’est pas M. Hibou qui viendra faire cours car il est remplacé, temporairement, par Mlle Koala. Avec ce nouveau professeur, les habitudes et les méthodes de travail changent et les élèves devront s’y habituer. Après des premiers contacts difficiles, Franklin et ses amis vont apprendre à mieux connaître leur nouvelle maîtresse et son pays d’origine, l’Australie. Les tensions finiront de s’apaiser lorsqu’ils se trouveront une passion commune : le football.Actors

Later, Jerry goes to the empty stage floor, where magic begins to happen. Toys come alive including Nelly the pony and Paulie the Christmas Ornament. The magic then makes a Music Box Ballerina come to life, and Jerry dances with her (the Miniature Overture plays through this scene).
