joshvonhousen Oh my FREAKING HECK! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS?! *Sigh* sorry. Let me calm down. This movie is just so bad. A bigger blow to Lionsgate's name than Akeelah And The Bee. First of all, this animation is some of the absolute WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN! NOT ONLY IS IT BAD, BUT IT IS FOODFIGHT BAD. There is one scene where Arthur gets hit with a water balloon, but it doesn't eve look like it hit him. Looks like it just exploded in mid air in front of his face. Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself. Maybe the story is good? NO! This plot had been done before in one Arthur episode called "Arthur's Lost Dog" only with better animation and story and music and characters and EVERYTHING! They obviously made an effort to hire most of the original voice actors for this movie, but the characters they couldn't get the original voice actors for sound like really (and I mean REALLY) bad impersonations. Heck, they can't even get the colors of the shirts certain characters wear. Sorry, movie, but Binky wears an ORANGE shirt in the TV show, not this weird purple plaid thingy you've got him in. Also, there's one scene at the very beginning where the music goes all David Lynch on us for 5 seconds (Of Summer?) for absolutely no reason whatsoever. And the pay off was even worse. Obviously, the person that wrote this doesn't really know MUCH about these characters other than that Buster is a klutz and D.W. is a little brat and Brain is smart. It's almost like the same people that have been writing seasons 13-17 also wrote this movie. But it completely fails to miss the spirit of the show and the characters. And that is probably why I hate this so much, because it taints one of my favorite shows, not only from childhood, but of ALL TIME! A poor representation of a great franchise. Honestly, if I saw this before I saw any of the Arthur TV show, I would have never gone near anything associated with Arthur ever again! Update: I have done my research and found that Ken Scarbourough had written this film. Ken has written several episodes, some of them being very good! So, I can only deduce that when it came to writing a full-length movie, it was just too much. He is used to writing just 11 minute episodes, so I retract any comments I've made. Wait, he also has done the crappy episodes from recent seasons?!? Nevermind.

wakemans25 Well, as soon as this movie came out I began wondering, maybe Arthur is coming to an end!! I really would not like that at all. This movie is great, it isn't the best storyline, but the graphics more then make up for it. I still need to buy this when I see it out. Arthur is so cute, and it is so well done. (yea, it seems I'm hitting on Arthur) I recommend this movie to anyone who likes the show or anyone who hasn't seen Arthur before as well. Heck, START watching Arthur because it is a great show. I really wish they came out with season DVDs because they are some of the best shows-that older kids can relate to and understand as well. Now, maybe they can fast forward and do a movie about Arthur finishing high school and starting college. That could be interesting...

maycatty So yesterday I was watching another show until I got bored so then by accident I flipped to this channel that had Arthur's missing pal on. So I chose to watch it. The storyline needed some work because a story about looking for a lost dog was not as original as I thought it would be. And to make matters worse there was already an Arthur episode about when Arthur lost pal. The 3-d art rendering could of been better because for a split 2 seconds I saw D.W talking without her mouth moving making it unsynchronized. As for my opinion on this movie, if you like those detective episodes like furn then maybe this movie could be for you.My rating: 5.0/10.0
