Join Arthur, possibly the world's most famous eight-year-old aardvark, his sisters DW and Kate, and their friends Buster, Francine, the Brain, Muffy, Sue Ellen, Fern, Prunella and Binky as they encounter the joys and difficulties that all children experience in their adventures through life. Based on the popular children's books by Marc Brown. Fern volunteers to help an elderly neighbour, Tony Wu, with his household chores, and then discovers his past life as a kung fu celebrity. Suddenly she imagines herself as his student, and she will soon be a kung fu master herself! But will Fern be disappointed to learn that dish cleaning and laundry folding are not really part of some special martial arts training? Or can she learn a valuable lesson in acceptance and friendship?
