Includes 3 great Arthur episodes:
Arthur Makes a Movie; Too young to see a real "James Hound" movie, the kids decide they'll make a film of their own. With Muffy directing and Arthur Playing the dashing, urbane hero, how bad could it be? Hmmmm--don't answer that.
Francine Fresky, Superstar; Now that Francine finally has the lead in a school play, she has become a stage tyrant. Moments before curtain, Francine's stardom has completely gone to her head. Can the show still go on?
Arthur The Unfunny; Arthur's a notorious joke-killer. But when he's scheduled to perform as a carnival clown, Arthur decides he'll learn how to make people laugh--or else!

"The TV series sparkles with wit, humor, and superb artwork, imparting life lessons easily absorbed by its target audience of 4- to 8-year olds."--Moira McCormick, Billboard
"Arthur and company--his best friend Buster the rabbit, his athletic friend Francine the monkey, school bully Binky Barnes the bulldog, and others--strike the perfect balance between fun and leaning while setting off comforting chords of recognition in viewers."--TV Guide (1996's Top 10 New Kids' Show article)
"Sure, it's supposed to be a kid show. But who knew an aardvark and his animal pals could be so human, charming and funny--for viewers of all ages!
--Lynn Elber and Frazier Moore, Associated Press, in their January 2000 Best of the Decade Television article
