Revision as of 08:42, 12 November 2011

Every episode of Arthur has an intertitle which displays the title, the name(s) of the writer and storyboard editor, and a short animation encompassed within a center circle. With the exception of early episodes, the title is read aloud by either Binky, Buster, Francine, or Muffy. The intertitle occurs 0:40 - 2:15 minutes into the episode. After Season 1, the typeface for episode titles was modified. The title names were enlarged starting with Season 10. ABC, TVO and BBC start their episodes in Season 14. In this season, the center circle now features a scene from the corresponding episode and no longer uses the ones that are shared with others. On PBS, the episodes start with the regular Arthur Intertitle. *Note: The name in between brackets for the 'Episodes used', is the reader of the title for the episode. There are also extra notes inside the brackets.

Arthur Underwater

The center circle is full of water. We see fish swim by, followed by Pal, followed by Arthur. He says "Hi!" but sometimes he will say something else like "Yay!". Sonar noises are audible in the background.

Notes

In Fern's Slumber Party , Fern actually mentions, when her mother says they should go to the title card, that they should see that nice swimming one.

Francine Hits Gong

File:Francine Hits Gong.png

Francine walks up and hits the center circle with a banging noise similar to a gong. This causes Arthur to yelp "Agh!" and begin shaking. Initially, Arthur would yelp the instant he comes up, but in later seasons he would do so after he comes up, and in some occasional cases he is silent. This title card is commonly used for episodes where Francine is the central character.

Episodes used

Arthur looks for an Umbrella

Episodes used

Buster makes sounds

File:Buster Roars.png

Buster walks into the circle and roars (in a parody of the MGM Lion logo), burps, trumpets like an elephant, or another different sort of sound (like a rooster or horse sound) for most title cards. After he does, Arthur walks up beside him and laughs. The sound of Arthur laughing was changed in later seasons. This title card is commonly used for episodes where Buster is the central character.
