.com Everybody's favorite aardvark swings into party mode on Arthur's Celebration--to an Arthur-appropriate extent, anyway. How much boisterous merrymaking should we expect, after all, from the cartoon world's most buttoned-down 8-year-old? Mostly, this four-episode, 50-minute tip of the hat to fiestas features third-grade-caliber goof-ups. First up is "Arthur's Birthday," a bummer as it happens because it's also Muffy's big day, and she won't budge when it comes to changing her party date. It's up to Arthur, then, to work it out so their mutual pals won't have to party hop or pick and choose. In "Arthur's New Year's Eve," our hero's heart is set on staying up till midnight. Does the sky really glow green in a cosmic flash, as Francine would have him believe, or will everybody be wagering on a baby versus old-man wrestling match, the way Binky says? A down-in-the-dumps Grandma Thora is the intended guest of honor in "Grandma Thora Appreciation Day," but Arthur and D.W., in their party-planning fervor, forget her invitation, setting a new record for soiree screwups. The delightfully self-involved D.W. steals the show in the final episode, "D.W.'s Perfect Wish." Frightfully near her fifth birthday, she's determined to wish wisely--D.W.'s not one to "fribble" wishes away--for the year ahead. The party theme threads neatly through these clever-as-ever episodes, but the real fun of this tape is, as usual, the tightly drawn characters and their dear, distinctive perspectives on all manner of predicaments. -Tammy La Gorce

Review of Arthur's Celebration
This is a bargain for those who enjoy the TV series. You get 4 episodes for the price of three. Great family viewing. In this DVD you get: (1) Arthur's Birthday-about Arthur and Muffy's conflict when both decide to have their birthday celebrations on the sameday; (2) Arthur's New Year's Eve-about Arthur, Grandma Thora, and D.W.'s celebration of New Years Eve; (3) Grandma Thora's Appreciation Day-about Arthur and D.W.'s planning and putting on Grandma Thora's Appreciaton Day, only Thora doesn't know about it, and they forget to invite her; (4) D.W.'s Perfect Wish-about D.W. birthday celebration taking her from preschool years to Kindergarten, and her perfect birthday wish, much to Arthur's dislike.

Arthur is fantastic
We love Arthur. Marc Brown never ceases to amaze me and my family with his choice of topics for Arthur's adventures. Such well written stories with good morals. Kids's of all ages seem to relate to the stories. We have been reading them since my daughter was 2 1/2. The DVDs are a touch different then the books which makes them both entertaining choices.

Just like I remember.
I watched the original Arthur series on PBS as a kid, some 10 years ago, and this DVD is exactly as I remember. The episodes are cute and have good lessons to be learned. Great entertainment for people of all ages!
