  • @dudetocartman
    @dudetocartman Před 6 lety +9

    I dont know why, but on 2:34-2:42, I laugh so hard. Maybe because of the way Arthur dances. Or it could be the music he dances to.

    It's unusual how the flashback shows Arthur with his trademark glasses when he was in what appears to be preschool or kindergarten, when it was established in "Arthur's Eyes" (both the original book and the TV adaptation episode) that he got them in second grade. And then you have Binky with them as well, since the TV show established Binky was being held back in third grade and did not join up with the main gang until they started third grade as well. (The book here was published in 1996, around the same time as the TV show premiered.)

    When Arthur's mom tells Arthur at 9:47-9:49 that she heard something about birds being dinosaur descendants, she may be referring to the discoveries of feathered maniraptoran dinosaurs in China during the 1990s because Sinosauropteryx was discovered in 1996, the same year that Arthur's Reading Race was published.
