Based on the books by Marc Brown, these are the adventures of Arthur, an 8-year-old aardvark, and his family and friends as they grow up and learn how to be good neighbors to one another.
While some of the child characters such as Arthur, D.W., and the Brain have been voiced by child actors, other child characters such as Buster, Francine, and Binky have been voiced by adult actors. Muffy is the only character whose original voice actress, Melissa Altro, began voicing the character as a child and has continued to provide her voice as an adult (despite the noticeable maturation of her voice in the more recent seasons).
In the opening sequence, D.W. is shown turning the pages of the book with her left hand, yet when it cuts to a close-up, her right hand is on the book.
Arthur is seen in a freeze frame waving bye to the viewers after the end credits
