Trivia

The students in Mr. Ratburn's Class are on the left, and the students in Mr. Pryce-Jones class are on the right. Arthur's counterpart is an aardvark, as is Buster's. But Muffy, Francine, and Binky's are rabbits, Fern's is a monkey, George's is a goat, Maria's is a bear, Brain's is a dog, Sue Ellen's is a poodle, and Alex's is an aardvark.

Notes

  • Fern's doppelganger at Glenbrook Academy is a rabbit.
  • If Francine wanted to make Arthur forget about the sword, Arthur pulling it out stopped her.
  • "The Return of the King" could be named after the third book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy of the same name, by J.R.R. Tolkien, even though it is more a reference to a legendary King Arthur.
  • This episode was adapted into a chapter book King Arthur, the thirteenth book in the Chapter Book series.
  • Buster's doppelganger is voiced by Oliver Grainger, the second actor of D.W.
  • Henry the 5th was Muffy's counterparts great-great-great-great-great-great uncle.

Goofs

  • In the maze, when Arthur claims that his shadow is moving, he falls backwards; but in the next few seconds, he falls through a maze wall and tears up the maze.
