Franny meets May and Wei, twins whose family runs a Chinese restaurant. The twins are in a kafuffle because their aunt has sent only one costume for the New Year's parade - and there are two of them.

Production notes
My name is Franny and I'm five-and-a-half years old. Every afternoon, my Grandpa looks after me in his shoe repair shop. I always try the shoes on before I put them in the fix-it box. They take me on amazing adventures where I meet new friends and discover new places. Frantastic!
Where will my feet take me today? Each episode sees Franny off on a different adventure. She puts on the fisherman's boots and lands on a trawler in the middle of the Atlantic. She slips on a pair of hiking boots and is off on an African adventure.
Franny meets fascinating characters with unusual problems wherever she goes. There's the cowboy who's afraid of horses, or the fearsome Yeti who really just needs someone to talk to. Franny always tries to help them with their predicament. She makes friends with the audience, sharing her feelings, fears and advice and teaching them along the way about empathy, cooperation and appreciating that people are all different.
Franny's adventures go well beyond the day-to-day world of school and home life. Franny's Feet lets children explore the bigger world and shows them that you are never too small or too young to be a big help.
Digital animation.
Each 30-minute episode consists of two cartoons.
Commissioned by Five in the UK and Canada's Family Channel.
