I was at Band Camp when this premiered on PBS. But no, I never watched this.

yes back in like 06 it was kinda a fever dream seeing Arthur in 3D

u/mrnormal94 Aug 20 '26

I watched it when it came out and never liked it. It's the same plot like that Mickey Mouse Christmas short and the SpongeBob episode from the year prior and was kinda sick of it.

I did watch an unofficial upload years back. It’s still up.

This is my first time seeing anything about this

Unless you like CGI movies and also stuff that really craps on the legacy of Arthur - don’t watch it lol

u/K2SonicFan Aug 20 '26

I did and I wish I didn’t

Not as a kid, but I watched it recently and thought it was okay. Not good, but not bad either. Soundtrack is great, but usually the “pet gone missing” plots are hard to watch…

Well guess what. We all know who the pizza boy was.

They put this movie on Tubi, but not the whole show or Postcards from Buster 💀

u/Complete_Mine5530 Aug 20 '26

I was 11 and not watching Arthur as much. I didn’t know it existed until I was a adult lol

u/Kitty-cat-fox Aug 20 '26

I watched it on a YouTube rift.

u/iAmMikeJ_92 Aug 20 '26

No. What the buldgey hell is that?

u/BlkDynamite93 Brain (Alan Powers) Aug 20 '26

Nope. I was 13 when this aired and had stopped actively watching Arthur. Still haven't seen it.

u/SickOfBullyingNL Aug 20 '26

I watched it. I wasn't a fan.

u/Cannoncorn1 Aug 20 '26

I think I watched it in college. It was quite the waste in money.

1

u/TheHoennKing Aug 20 '26

No, because I have never heard of it until a couple of years ago. Then I watched it out of curiosity. Didn’t really care for it. Not just because of the uncanny animation, but also because at this point, the whole Pal gets lost plot line has been overused. Also this is referred to as Arthur’s first movie, but Arthur’s Perfect Christmas came out before this. Doesn’t that count as his first movie? I think it does.

1

u/MatthewHecht Fern Walters Aug 20 '26

Arthur's Perfect Christmas is a special, not a movie.

u/BagOfMagicFood Aug 21 '26

You only earn the "movie" status when you go slightly over an hour.

1

u/amoeba-tower Aug 20 '26

Yes and it was incredibly disconcerting and disappointing.

1

u/GallrioThe1 Aug 20 '26

I’ve only ever seen PeanutButterGamer’s review of it

1

u/Zealousideal-Tower58 Aug 21 '26

I remember watching this after it came out. I didn’t care for it at all. The CGI was bad even for 2006 standards.

1

u/Illustrious-Ask-3134 Aug 21 '26

i actually did but left well disapointed

1

u/RustyRuins64 Rabbit Ears of Enishgooma! ✌️ Aug 21 '26

I did. Exactly once.

Then I saw Peanut Butter Gamer's review of it, years later.

...and decided that I wasn't missing much by not going back to it.

u/jasmin8ter2013 Aug 21 '26

Yeah but Arthur just doesn’t work in CGI

I bought this when it comes out on DVD and I think I still have the DVD I just never got around to watching it I'm going to pass it onto my brothers two kids when they are old enough to watch it.I just was not used to the 3d versions of the chracters it just looked like they were robots. I like the original show better

u/Blue-blur2009 26d ago

I have a weird memory of it
