Arthur's Teacher Trouble (1997)

TV. The first and title episode of this disc, Arthur's Teacher Trouble, is one of the most popular, probably because of its inventive depictions of grade-school student/teacher angst. (Mr. Ratburn is rumored to be a tough teacher, so Arthur's third-grade friends sweat a bit until they learn from "the Rat" himself.) Arthur's Spelling Trubble shows Arthur doing a good job preparing for and participating in the school spelling bee. Arthur Plays the Blues (also included on the Arthur's Musical Medley disc) shows Arthur learning a bit more about preparation and performance discipline. 4 stars.
