arthur

When painfully shy George brings a ventriloquist's dummy to school, a popular kid is born! Suddenly, everybody wants to hang with George and his witty wooden pal, Wally. George and Wally remain inseparable. The gang eventually gets pretty tired of talking to a dummy. George must learn to make it on his own? In the second story, Arthur thinks the best pet to have is a dog, and Francine probably would have agreed--that is, until little Nemo came along. Francine can't help herself--she's falling for a cute little kitten! What will Arthur think?

About Arthur:

ARTHUR is based on the best-selling children's books by Marc Brown.

The series revolves around an eight year-old aardvark, his four year-old sister DW, and their family and friends.

ARTHUR is a show about being a kid, exploring the world, and finding your place in it.

It's about kids finding inner strengths, learning to make choices for themselves, taking responsibility for them and of course, having fun.

In each episode, Arthur and his gang guide us through stories that deal with real "kid issues" -- timeless difficulties and joys that all kids experience.

The series also models the joys and rewards of literacy by presenting the many ways kids and adults incorporate reading and writing into their lives.

Above all, ARTHUR is a comedy that tells its stories from a kids' point of view, never moralizing or talking down to them.
