|
| |
|
| He is very often shown as isolated from the other children. This is possibly because of his nosebleeds<ref>"[[Vomitrocious!]]"</ref> (which occur on a regular basis), or it may be that he is simply a quiet person, or both. However, in the later seasons, like most of the other children, he has effectively socialized into the group. Also, his nosebleeds have only happened in one episode.
| | '''George Lundgren''' is a fictional character in the ''Arthur'' books and TV series. He is a dyslexic, anthropomorphic moose who attends Lakewood Elementary, in [[Mr. Ratburn]]'s third grade class. He daydreams frequently, and is a skilled carpenter and ventriloquist. His dummy is a giraffe named [[Wally]]. |
|
| |
|
| Though in earlier seasons George is shown as a background character with very few talking roles, starting in season 9, he made a transition into a main character, appearing in a good portion of episodes. It is unknown why this sudden change happened.
| | He is very often shown as isolated from the other children. This is possibly because of his nosebleeds (Which occur on a regular basis), or it may be that he is simply a quiet person, or both.

|
| |
|
| In the episode, "[[The Boy with His Head in the Clouds]]," George is revealed to have dyslexia.
| | His last name was Nordgren until season 11, when it became Lundgren. He has a friend named [[Carl]]. George also has a sister who only appeared in the episode Sue Ellen's Little Sister in which she and George are seen running in the Brother and Sister Race. |
|
| |
|
| In ''[[Arthur's Perfect Christmas]]'', George does celebrate Christmas, but he celebrates it in a different way than the other kids in Elwood City, since his mom is from Sweden. On Christmas, according to Norwegian tradition, they would dance and parade in traditional clothes and eat traditional Christmas food.
| |
|

|
| He has a friend named [[Carl Gould|Carl]]. George also has [[George's sister|a sister]] who only appeared in earlier episodes, also as a background character.

| ==Appearance== | | ==Appearance== |
| George is an anthropomorphic moose whose most distinctive trait is his antlers. As a result of his horns, he was often given nicknames such as "Big Horns" in the episode "[[Big Horns George]]", and "Head Gear" in the episode "Nicked by Name" . However, his antlers also give him some disadvantages as his horns accidentally knock coats off their racks by accident and getting his head stuck in his locker. George is depicted as wearing an orange shirt, cream colored khakis, and green and white sneakers. In a promotional illustration on the show's [http://www.pbskids.org/arthur/ official website], he was depicted wearing a beige shirt, blue shorts, and red and white sneakers. During the winter time, George can be seen wearing a green jacket with a red hat with flaps. In the summer time George wears a green shirt, short khakis, and green and white sneakers.

| ==Personality==
| | George is depicted wearing an orange shirt, khakis, and green and white sneakers. In a promotional illustration on the show's [http://www.pbskids.org/arthur/ official website], he was depicted wearing a beige shirt and blue shorts. |
| Since his first appearance in "[[Arthur's Eyes (episode)|Arthur's Eyes]]", George was depicted as a background character, and was not made into a major character until "[[Arthur's Dummy Disaster]]" much later. This could be as a result of how quiet he is at school, and the fact that he is also rather shy. Despite his timidness, George is shown to be a very kind character as he is willing to help his friends even if it means sacrificing his own needs. However, his quiet attitude is often misinterpreted by the other characters, and as a result he is often forgotten and left out of many of their events. It is the result of being isolated from the other characters that cause George to play mostly with his dummy [[Wally]]. George is shown to treat Wally very much like a real person (even though he is well aware he isn't real), and often discusses his problems at school with him as he rarely gets the chance to speak with his classmates. George is defender for the Lakewood Elementary Soccer Team. He has been given several nicknames: Hammer (by [[Binky Barnes|Binky]] in "The Boy with His Head in the Clouds"), Big Horns (by [[Koko Taylor]] in "Big Horns George"), and Headgear (by [[Alan Powers|Brain]] in "[[Nicked by a Name]]")
| |
| | |
| ==Friends==
| |
| Although George might be isolated at times, he's proven to care for others even if they might occasionally be mean to him which makes him very likable amongst Arthur and his group of friends for being so kind and forgiving. George's best friend is [[Carl Gould|Carl]].
| |
| * [[Carl Gould|Carl]]: [[When Carl Met George]] was the first time Carl and George met. Carl is also one of the rare people George doesn't use Wally to talk to because he tried showing Wally to Carl one time and it frightened Carl.
| |
| *[[Alan Powers|The Brain]]: In the episode [[Do You Speak George?]] when everyone was speaking their own languages, [[Alan Powers|The Brain]] and George decide to work together to make their own unique language. They ended up not agreeing on how their language should be. The Brain also helps George have a better understanding on Carl's Asperger's Syndrome in [[When Carl Met George]].
| |
| * [[Buster Baxter]]: George and Buster are great pals. George admires Buster enough to write a paper about how & why he's so admirable. Buster is known to stand up for George's well-being occasionally like when Francine knocked George's dominos down and Buster confronted her and explained she should apologize.
| |
| * [[Arthur Read]]: George describes one of his best days ever as when Arthur talked to him and helped him after Wally fell apart. There's times when they hang out and when they were playing cards at George's house as Binky came over, Arthur told Binky "George isn't home right now." Knowing poor George is scared of Binky.
