==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *In ''The Amazing Fight'', everyone (except Arthur) are cartoon humans. | ||
*Arthur and his friends did not actually write the stories for the contest. Five children from across America and Canada wrote them for the show - and one girl, named Holly Holland, had an idea for an episode about a contest. This was mentioned in the ''[[And Now a Word from Us Kids]]'' segment following it. | |||
*The show Arthur and his friends watch (''Andy and Company'') is clearly a parody of the show itself (that, and it has the art-style of "The Little Lulu Show"Which was also produced by CINAR.) | |||
*The way [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] says that Andy is a mouse (Arthur correcting her of him being something else) may refer to the fact how people mistake Arthur as a bear or a mouse instead of an aardvark. | *The way [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] says that Andy is a mouse (Arthur correcting her of him being something else) may refer to the fact how people mistake Arthur as a bear or a mouse instead of an aardvark. | ||
===Cultural References=== | |||
*Each of the kids' stories reference other TV shows: Buster's story resembles ''South Park'', Muffy's resembles ''Beavis and Butt-head'', Binky's resembles ''WWE,'' Brain's resembles ''Dexter's Laboratory ''and Arthur's resembles ''Dr. Katz.'' | |||
*In ''My Life as a TV Show,'' Arthur and Buster call Muffy the ''5th Teletubby'' (which makes sense because her dress resembles Dipsy) as Beavis and Butt-head. | |||
