D.W. never fails to keep us laughing with her childish antics. In today's episode, "D.W.'s Imaginary Friend", she unintentionally puts Arthur's social standing at stake when she and her imaginary friend, Nadine, go with Arthur to an amusement park...
This cartoon is full of good laughs. Even the start-up scene offers two very humorous moments, most notably the part where D.W. gives her friends a tour of Arthur's room. The actual episode sees Arthur trying to convince D.W. not to come with them to the Wonder Word Amusement Park, because if she comes, she'll humiliate Arthur with her "imaginary friend" game. The episode gives kids an important lesson about being inclusive and accept others for their differences. I really liked how D.W.'s "disorder" is portrayed as part of her personality instead of something to be diagnosed with. It was also very relatable telling Arthur's side of the story. Overall, an engaging and fantastic Arthur classic and a great watch for anyone. 9/10
Episode 4B: Arthur's Lost Library Book
Children often go to the library to discover new things or as just a fun way to pass the time. But did you ever think that you'd be in OUTRAGEOUS trouble just for losing one little book? It's something I myself feared as a kid and this episode, "Arthur's Lost Library Book", made everything seem absolutely fine.
This episode discusses the topic of losing a library book very well, with a few funny moments from Binky, as the two set out to find out who took Arthur's book. While a bit light on the humor it does present a lesson all kids should learn, along with some tips about being responsible, and the idea of the creepy narrator (which is revealed to be D.W. at the very end) was pretty creative. Is it worth the 11 minutes though? Well, the lesson is fantastic and the episode in general takes a very realistic approach, I don't think older viewers will appreciate it as much as other episodes. 5/10
