Castles in the Sky

Summary
The gang's treehouse collapses, and architect Frank Gehry steps in to help them rebuild—if they can agree on a new design.

Plot
One day, during a snow-sledding race between Arthur and Buster, the tree house has been destroyed by snow. Later at the Sugar Bowl, Arthur and his friends are worried. Then a man named Frank shows up and offers to help the gang. Arthur and his friends come up with lots of different designs for their tree house, but Frank doesn't approve of them. Then they discover they like the original design better. So they started rebuilding their tree house. As Frank leaves, he gave them a picture of one of his building designs. That was before they discovered it was Frank Gehry.
