"The Director's Cut" is the first half of the eighth episode in the seventeenth season of Arthur.
Summary
After meeting his hero, Hollywood director Tufton Sinclair, George is inspired to make a movie of his own. He enlists his friends as crew and Muffy as his producer. Problem is, everyone wants to be the director! Will George stand his ground or is his budding film career a flop?[4]
Plot
Tufton Sinclair is seen on a movie production set in downtown Elwood City, about to start directing, when George shows up. Mr. Sinclair asks George if he is part of the movie, but George just showed up to get his autograph for directing his favourite movie, Flight of Dreams: The Tale of Pietro Pigeon. After getting his autograph, George is asked by Mr. Sinclair if he is an aspiring movie director, but George isn't sure. However, after seeing Mr. Sinclair directing, George is inspired to make a movie of his own.
The Director's Cut
After the title card, George visits Muffy, and she offers him two different video cameras. George picks one, and tells Muffy the reason he wants to borrow her video camera is so that he can make a movie. Muffy is excited, and asks George if she can be in it. George isn't sure, so Muffy agrees to produce it instead.
Later, at George's house, Wally is fooling around with the video camera, moving back and forth in front of the screen, when Buster shows up to get used to George's new camera, since it's different than his camera. George wonders what's going on, and Muffy introduces George to his "crew", which consists of his cameraman (Buster), his actor (Arthur), his musician (Binky), and his "adorable little girl" (D.W.). George is unsure, but Muffy and the others want to hear the script that George has come up with, so he starts to tell them his story idea. By the time he is finished, they are thrilled to help George make his movie.
However, later on, when they're making George's movie, things don't go according to plan.
