FRANKLIN & MILENA
Fraklin and Milena, accompanied by their little dog Bidu, attempt to unravel the secrets of time travel. However, in each episode, their focus gets diverted from the investigation. First, when the lights go out, they create a lamp and handle a bee invasion. Then, a comet crosses the solar system, and a flea infestation happens in Limoeiro. Next, they program a robot to bake cakes and develop an AI. Lastly, they uncover a prehistoric fossil, and Franjinha loses sleep trying to decipher the mysteries of time. Science emerges as the solution for each adventure, and together, they learn and become closer friends and scientists, discovering that the true journey through time is science itself!

We were thrilled to contribute to this incredible 16-episode series, which spans two exciting seasons on Discovery Kids. Following the adventures of Franklin, Milena, and their loyal dog Bidu, the show explores the mysteries of time travel, science, and friendship for young viewers.
Humanoide played a key role in animating various explanatory segments throughout the series, enhancing the educational aspects of the characters’ adventures. Whether illustrating complex scientific concepts or visually depicting their inventive solutions, our animations helped bring these imaginative ideas to life in a fun and engaging way. Each episode offers something new—from robot-building to exploring prehistoric fossils—and our animations ensure that young audiences enjoy the story and understand the science behind it.
