Arthur Bounces Back

"Arthur Bounces Back" is part two of the eighth episode of season 1 of the animated children's series "Arthur". Together with Arthur's New Puppy, it first aired on October 28th, 1996.

Summary
Arthur wants Moon Boots and tries different ways to get money to buy them. His mom wants him to clean the garage for $2. As he is cleaning it, Mrs. Tibble comes by, thinking there's a yard sale and buys a necklace, giving Arthur enough money to buy the Moon Boots. It turns out that the necklace is to be a gift from his dad to his mom and he has to earn the necklace back by doing chores.

Trivia

 * The kids in the Moon Boots advertisement are most likely the same ones that go to Lakewood Elementary School as the kids are identical to the 4th Graders that are seen around the school.
 * Moon Boots is a spoof of the real Moon Shoes.

Goofs

 * In the intro, there are some Bionic Bunny Walkie-Talkies that are shown damaged on one of the shelves in the basement, although the ones that Arthur owns have not been damaged.
 * Arthur is seen trying on the Moon Boots shortly before his father comes out to talk to him about organizing the garage; but in the next shot, he has a bare foot, and socks must be worn underneath Moon Boots.
