Arthur: Nerves of Steal (2005)

TV. Three Arthur episodes on the theme of control (having it or lacking it) teach kids lessons against shoplifting, being a grade hog, and fashion envy: Nerves of Steal (Buster and Arthur are the only kids without a Cybertoy robot before they learn that crime doesn't pay), Sue Ellen and the Brainasaurous (the Brain so obsesses over his grades that his assignment partner can't slip in her own contribution -- until the end), and Prunella's Prediction (new-agey Prunella envisions a fashion-coup birthday gift but learns to do without). See Buster as a Cops-like fugitive (only in his fears) and Arthur wearing his dad's old lime-green Michelinian Mr. Puffy jacket (plus a Fantastic Three picture of Mr. Puffy, Land Fish, and Legal Eagle). A Word From Us Kids presents schoolkids' animated inventions, such as the camera that dispenses 24 photos and 25 candy bars. Blockbuster stocks this disc but Netflix doesn't list it; even so, I got it through the library system. 4 stars.
