Disney In The Morning - Koala Brothers

Frank and Buster are the Koala Brothers on Playhouse Disney. It is their mission each day to help a friend who is having a problem. Each episode of the Koala Brothers contains two stories, and each one will begin with Frank and Buster searching for the friend they are going to help during the episode.

Flying over the Australian Outback, Frank and Buster have many choices of friends to help, from Archie the Alligator, Polly the Penguin and Josie the Kangaroo, they are also joined by Mitzi, Ned, Sammy, and George, who are all other animals you will see in the Australian Outback.

Each character has his or her own personality, from the quick witted Archie to the slow thinker George, and even little Polly, who never speaks a word, yet still gets her point across.

The Koala Brothers has another great theme song. There is something about these children's shows from Australia that draws the attention of both adults and preschool aged children. The Koala Brothers really drive home the lesson that it is good to help others. Kids will learn that helping others is fun.

This show is fun for children to watch, and has a great message. Once again, good job Disney Channel!

Just thought I'd mention that although set in Australia, this
is actually produced in the UK.

This is a great show. It has expanded my intrest in Austrilian
animals. I wish there could be more merchandise then there
is. Perhaps there could be more episodes on family reunion and
relations tips. For example getting to know some more about
Ned's family.

It would be great if this show could include kids/people in
wheelchairs. My granddaughter has spina bifida and will always
be in a wheelchair. All the activities leave her out and there
are no role models for her to watch. As it is right now this
show only wmphasizes her difference from other children and, as
she gets older, increasingly marginalize her.

Oops, looks like the Disney writer of this article made a
mistake. That's okay it happens to all of us.

See below:

"Flying over the Australian Outback, Frank and Buster have many
choices of friends to help, from Archie the Alligator, Polly
the Penguin and Josie the Kangaroo, they are also joined by
Mitzi, Ned, Sammy, and George, who are all other animals you
will see in the Australian Outback."

Polly the penguin is not a character of the Koala Brothers
show. However, Penny the penguin is. Also, according to
http://www.XXXXX.uk.com/ Penny the penguin is said to
speak her own language, not "...never speaks a word...". Though
to the Disney writer's defense the same site does say in
another part of the site that "...she doesn't talk, so her
emotions are very external and physicalised."

Just helping out,

"Cow"

I have to say my son loves the Koala Brothers and all their
Aussie friends!!! I only wish the show was more popular so we
could perhaps find more of their merchandise in the Toy Stores.
Glad to see theres a good quality show with a true message of
friendship and helping. So many of our children's shows
unfortunately do not convey such a message.
Good Job Disney!
Hope to see more of the Koala Brothers
