Every time I see posts about the old Arthur eps, I get so fired up! The animation is on another level compared to most stuff today. It's all about the hand-drawn charm that just exudes warmth and life, unlike the overly cleaned up digital animations now. Wish we'd see a revival of that style...

Haha, this episode is a gem. Ever read the book it's based on? The book is just as hilarious. Marc Brown really knew how to capture a child's perspective. Watching D.W. come around to eating her veggies was like watching my own transformation from a picky eater to a foodie.

I just joined this sub and omg, 'D.W., the Picky Eater' was my childhood! I used to hide veggies under my napkin like D.W., thought I was so slick lol. Now I'm all grown up and veggies are my friends, who could've thought?

D.W. and her picky eating... should've just tried Binky's method and eat whatever gets put in front of ya 😂 But lowkey, that's probably why I'm not a picky eater now

The nostalgia is real with this one. I miss the depth of character development in old-school shows like Arthur. And btw, has anyone else noticed how picky eating is hardly addressed in kids' shows these days? Makes me wonder...

Fun fact about that episode – it first aired back in 1997 and is still one of the most relatable ones for kids even today. It's the way they mix humor with everyday problems that gets me. Arthur writers were geniuses at teaching life lessons without feeling preachy, you know?

Totally agree on the animation quality. Did you notice the expressions on D.W.'s face? That's some nuanced art right there. They really don't make 'em like this anymore. Today's cartoons seem to lack that attention to detail, imho.

lmao, I can't believe someone else remembers D.W.'s picky eating saga. I was exactly the same, wouldn't touch spinach if my life depended on it! Loved the bit where she thinks there's spinach in the cake 🤣
