Product Description
When Arthur's dog Pal disappears, Arthur must enlist the help of his friends to track him down. While Pal discovers his newfound freedom, Arthur discovers how much he misses his dog. Good thing Arthur has the gang to turn to-especially his best friend, Buster Baxter who dusts off his old detective gear to get on the case. This canine quest leads Arthur and Buster across Elwood city, deep into the bowels of an ice cream factory, past a giant cow on ice skates, and right up to the point where all hope seems lost. Could thesolution to this caper, though, be right in front of Arthur's eyes? And why has D.W. been acting so funny lately? One thing's for certain, Arthur is determined to get to the bottom of this case. Follow Arthur, Buster and all their friends through the streets of Elwood City as they sniff out clues and chase after leads...and learn a valuable lesson about friendship, teamwork and responsibility.

2.0 out of 5 stars Arthur misses the mark, December 2, 2006

By	M. Hoang "hardtoport" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an avid fan of the Arthur television series, I found his first CGI movie to be very disappointing. The pace of the story was rather slow and uninspired, and it looked more like a computer game than an animated movie. A lot of the clever and humerous dialog I expect from the series is strangely absent. I recommend instead, Arthur: It's Only Rock 'n Roll, which is my favorite Arthur special.

5.0 out of 5 stars As always, we love everything Arthur!, September 5, 2006

By	Barbara Millet (Belle Harbor, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We caught this movie on PBS when it first came on, and my daughter was hooked. It's a change from the regular Arthur animation - this one is computer animated. She was very intrigued by that fact, and then the story is about a puppy... well there you go! The story is well written, a little scary at times when the guard dogs are chasing after Pal. There are even a few catchy tunes as well. Highly recommend this to every Arthur fan out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Arthur comes through again!, October 18, 2006

By	Fan of Arthur (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

Wow, we really enjoyed 'Arthur's Missing Pal'. As always, Arthur comes through with teaching appropriate behavior in the form of responsibility. The movie was exciting to watch and had many plot twists to keep the entire family interested. We have watched it again and again. D.W. steals the show and is absolutely hilarious. My kids always mimick her dialogue and her actions! A true treat for the entire family
Thank You PBS
