The Koala Brothers is a stop-motion animated children's television series, created by David Johnson. It features the adventures of two koala brothers named Frank and Buster, who pilot an aeroplane as they seek to help their friends in a sleepy town in the Australian outback. The series was narrated by Jonathan Coleman. 78 episodes were produced over 3 seasons, alongside one Christmas special.[3]
Notably, while the series sometimes features disagreements and displays of poor behaviour, it avoids presenting any characters as purely villainous or unlikable. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of kindness and friendship.
The series originally premiered on CBeebies on 1 September 2003 until the 79th and last-ever episode's airing on 31 October 2007 and is particularly targeted at children two to six years old.
