As a child i watch Arthur back when it was on PBS kids and still enjoy the Arthur books at my local library. now that i'm older I never realized there was a direct to video movie based on the lovable Aardvark and it's about him and his friends finding his dog Pal and to be honest, the story needs more attention, the animation looks so cheesy and even some of the voice actors including Daniel Brochu who voiced Buster Baxter and Bruce Dinsmore who voiced Binky and Arthur's Dad and the plot is similar to the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Have you seen this Snail?". and so this has to be a lousy and dreadful direct to video movie to one of the most beloved characters of the Show from our Childhood!

What more can I say other than that? This film has almost no redeeming qualities, as the animation is ugly, the voice acting sucks, the story is unoriginal, and the runtime isn't even feature length. Apparently, this was released in theaters in select cites in addition to being a home video release, but who actually went out to see this and sat through the whole thing without walking out of the cinema? This is Arthur's first and currently only feature film, and I may have been interested in a film franchise, but after seeing this, I don't ever want to see another Arthur movie again.

And one more thing that I've observed, I believe it was released in select theaters just so it would be eligible for being nominated for what I believe was "Best Picture, Sound, and Quality." I don't quite remember, but the fact that it was nominated for anything along the likes of actual real films like Ice Age 2 baffles me. This movie is not worth your time.

It was nothing like the original animation.

It was about Arthur and gang trying to find his dog.

So corny The 3d was trash. Characters were lame. Story was uninteresting

What was the point of this product?

What can be learned? 3D animation sucks unless you are Toy Story.

Verdict: Horrible experience.

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...
