PBS Distribution is bringing home another Arthur special this summer.
Arthur: D.W. and the Beastly Birthday is scheduled to be released on DVD August 14. Its upcoming home release will come almost a year after it originally premiered on PBS — August 2, 2017.
The half-hour special takes a page from the beloved book Where The Wild Things Are with a bit of an updated take on that story. In the case of this story, D.W. “runs away” to the island of Ukubonga when her 5th birthday doesn’t go exactly as she planned. of course, she doesn’t actually run away. Meanwhile, Arthur learns his own important lesson when he skips D.W.’s birthday to go to the planetarium with his friends instead.
As an added bonus, D.W. and the Beastly Birthday is complimented by the bonus episode ‘Arthur’s Birthday.’ As the title implies, it centers on Arthur’s birthday. There’s just one problem. Muffy Crosswire is having her birthday on the same day as Arthur. She tells everyone that if they don’t come to her party, they won’t be her friend. Both Arthur and Muffy learn some valuable lessons here, too.
Arthur: D.W. and the Beastly Birthday‘s total run time is 70 minutes on one disc. It will retail for MSRP of $6.99, and can be pre-ordered at that price via PBS’ online store. More information on this new forthcoming DVD is available along with plenty of games, activities, printables and more at:
