The Koala Brothers is an Australian stop-animated TV series aired on Playhouse Disney. It involves a pair of koala brothers named Frank and Buster that ride on an airplane to look for others in need of help. This show is known for Frank and Buster helping out their friends with various problems such as what to do when sick, how to take care of a plant, or even help repair an ice cream truck.
Tropes used in The Koala Brothers include:
- An Aesop: Being a Playhouse Disney show, it definitely has these.
- Ear Worm: Both the main theme song and the "Helping Song".
- Everything's Better with Penguins: Penny the Penguin
- Everything's Better with Platypi: Alice the Platypus
- Funny Animal: All of the characters are these.
- Once Per Episode: Whenever Frank and Buster fly the airplane out of their house, they always manage to knock over their mailbox.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Completely averted with George the Tortoise and Archie the Crocodile, who are just as friendly as the rest of the neighbors.
- Seldom-Seen Species: This series not only has the titular koalas, but also an emu, a wombat, a platypus, an echidna, and a possum.
- Sweet Tooth: See Trademark Favorite Food.
- Trademark Favorite Food: For Buster, it's butter cookies.
