Since 1996, children have been entertained by the fun animated adventures of Arthur, the bespectacled aardvark from the show of the same name, as he navigates the ups and downs of childhood with his friends and family. Based on the children’s books by Marc Brown, Arthur is a show about growing up, exploring the world, and finding your place in it. Arthur’s energetic, emotional stories deal with real “kid issues” from a kid’s point of view.
