Pom Pom and Franny - Fruit That Lasts Media

About the Series

Pom Pom and Franny is a high-quality animation series about two little fruit trees who encounter a variety of challenges that reveal what is most important in life and ultimately shapes their character. They are joined by their woodland friends, Tedo the skunk and Oscar the wise old owl, as well as their beloved grandmothers, Rue Rue and Nana, who are always there to guide them… with a bit of humor, a lot of wisdom, and heaps of Southern charm.

The first season is made up of 10 seven-minute episodes, just the right amount of time for young children. We’re also sure it will be enjoyed by grown-ups, too. Our first episode sees Pom Pom and Franny meeting for the first time at Boot Camp, where they discover the basics of moving around freely and understanding the world around them in Harvest Holler. With this new responsibility comes a lot of new freedom that they will have to learn how to handle, and it doesn’t always go well. Fortunately, their grandmothers will be there to offer wisdom and important lessons.
