Hey!
ARTHUR:
Hey, D.W.
Hey!
Whoa!
( crash )
ARTHUR:
This summer I couldn't wait
to get to camp meadowcroak.
I knew Buster and I would win
the river race for sure.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa!
Whoa!
( gasps )
ARTHUR:
D.W., what
are you doing?
( both scream )
D.W.:
Guess what, Arthur?
( chanting ):
You can't go
to camp.
You can't
go to camp.
We're going
on vacation.
We're going on
vacation.
We're going
on vacation.
BUSTER:
Don't worry, Arthur
we'll fix it so
you can come to camp.
Whoa.
We leave
for the beach
tomorrow morning,
Buster.
I'm going to be
so bored.
Bored!
Why didn't I think of that?
You got an idea?
No, my skateboard.
I almost forgot it.
Great.
It's simple--
tell your parents
they need a vacation to relax.
Aha!
But it'll never happen
with all us kids around.
So just you and Mom should go.
Uh-huh.
And exactly what are
you three going to do
while Mom and I are
off relaxing?
Go to camp?
All of you?
D.W.:
Arthur,
slow down.
You're making us
spill our tea.
( gurgles )
Well, maybe D.W. and Kate
can go with you.
Look, Arthur, this is
going to be great.
Just think--
the whole family
all together
for a week.
Sharky wants
to come, too.
( Arthur yells )
Oops.
( laughing )
( groans )
If I'm old enough
to take out the trash
I can choose my vacation.
You didn't really think
that was going to work.
It was worth a try, wasn't it?
That's an idea,
though.
You could take
out the trash.
ARTHUR:
Mom Dad?
MOM:
Arthur?
It's dangerous
at the beach.
There's sharks,
crabs
um, sharks!
It'd be safer at camp.
Arthur, there's
nothing to worry about.
It's going
to be fun.
And, well, I was going
to surprise you
but I'm taking
us all out
for lobster dinner.
D.W. would get lobster
without you.
What? No way!
I mean
Well, maybe it could be fun.
We're ready.
Last chance to go
to the bathroom.
Not me
Me, either.
( giggling )
Hey.
Look, there's
( sadly ):
Buster.
D.W.:
I have to go to the bathroom.
( sighs )
Now, does
anybody else
have to use
the bathroom?
MOM:
No, dear.
ARTHUR:
Not me.
D.W.:
Nope.
( baby gurgles )
D.W.:
Sharky wants to ride in the car.
But there isn't any room.
Make Arthur ride
on the roof.
Can I?
Sharky's fine where he is.
You'll be playing with him
on the beach soon.
( horns honk distantly )
Oh, no.
DAD:
It's just a little slowdown.
We'll be there in no time.
( sniffing )
Pee-yew!
What's that awful smell?
Did we run over a skunk?
Gas chamber!
( screams )
( D.W.'s screams echo )
( baby gurgles )
D.W.:
I'm hungry.
We'll eat when
we get to the ocean.
Just think, guys.
Lobster!
I want a Jiffy Burger.
Me, too; me, too.
WOMAN:
Sorry, we're all out of burgers.
They just ordered
the last ones.
What do you
have left?
Well, there's
chef's surprise.
Surprises
are fun.
We'll take four.
If we don't stop again
we should be
there soon.
Hi, I'm D.W.
You're lucky.
Your mom lets you draw
on your arms.
( growls )
WAITRESS:
Surprise!
Why couldn't we just
go to Jiffy Burger?
Mmm, those look good.
DAD:
D.W., somebody has
a shark just like
Oh
Uh
Honey, are you sure
you tied
"Arkey-shay"
on "ight-tay"?
I thought
you tied him on.
Step on it, Dad!
We have to save Sharky!
D.W., maybe
we can find you
another shark.
( screams )
( D.W. continues screaming )
MOM:
Honey
DAD:
Okay, I'm on it, D.W.
MAN:
Way back there?
That was hours ago.
Right, thanks.
Hmm.
ARTHUR:
Are we there yet?
DAD:
Almost.
You'll love
the hotel, kids.
There's the ocean,
a pool
and Dad booked
the Family Fun Suite.
DAD:
And tonight,
don't forget
lobster!
MOM:
Pool
Yay!
MOM:
Ocean
DAD:
Lobster!
DAD:
We're here!
MAN:
If you'd just been here
five minutes earlier
We thought you
were a no-show
so the Family
Fun Suite is gone.
But the Ocean View
hotel always has
a vacancy.
ARTHUR:
Where's the ocean anyway?
Over there.
Behind the shopping
center-- see?
No.
If you'd only been here
a couple of years earlier.
Enjoy your stay.
MOM:
Gee, honey,
it's perfect.
ARTHUR:
Ew.
D.W.:
We're staying here?
It looks
comfortable enough.
( screams )
Sharky and I don't
like this bed.
Where's my bed?
You and D.W. will have
to share, Arthur.
Sharky, too.
At camp, I have
a bunk bed to myself.
Who wants to go swimming?
Well, at least we have
the whole pool to ourselves.
Yeah, but our bathtub
is bigger than this.
Don't worry, guys.
Tomorrow you'll have
a whole ocean.
And tonight
lobster!
Here they come.
Kids, close
your eyes.
Open your eyes.
( D.W. screams )
It's a giant bug!
How do you eat these things?
D.W.:
I want a hot dog--
and no claws.
D.W., sit.
You can have a hot dog tomorrow
when we're
at the beach.
( thunder rumbles )
Huh?
Oh, great.
Still raining.
Fly!
At home, I could have
catered that big party.
I should have brought work.
If I were at camp, I'd be
canoeing and hiking with Buster.
Not when
it rains.
No, but we always
find fun stuff to do.
Like the time Buster and I
went to the pond
Oops, missed.
D.W., give me that!
D.W.!
I'm going to
Wait a minute.
Hmm
What are
you doing?
I've got an idea.
I never heard
of a cow festival.
Good idea, Arthur.
Nice to see
you folks again.
Your shark
still likes cows.
( cow moos )
WOMAN:
And that completes the story
of how Flo's Fabulous Fudge
is made.
Please sample
Flo's Famous Fudge.
One fudge
sample per
customer, please.
ARTHUR and D.W.:
Free samples!
Oops.
( both scream )
Get him, Sharky!
Get him, Sharky!
Wow, this is neat.
I get to choose
the next field trip.
I can't believe
you chose this movie.
Don't look at me.
It was Sharky's idea.
Sun!
Just glorious.
D.W.:
Arthur--
this is not funny.
Didn't I say
this would be
a great vacation?
And you were right.
DAD:
Hold it, kids.
Wow!
Great vacation.
It sure was.
How was camp?
It was okay--
until the
hurricane hit.
Then lighting
demolished the mess hall
but no one
even got hurt.
And the lake
got contaminated
by bacteria
So we
couldn't swim
KIDS:
And now a word from us kids.
"Dear Arthur,
how was your vacation?"
GIRL:
"Dear Arthur, how are
you and D.W. doing?"
"Dear Arthur, I am in camp."
"Dear Arthur, we are
at the Grand Canyon."
"I'm in Kansas."
"I'm having fun
on my vacation in Hawaii."
GIRL:
"I'm on vacation in California."
BOY:
"I am in Chicago."
GIRL:
"I am in new York city."
"Dear Arthur,
how was your vacation?
"I am in Panama.
"I was riding a horse.
I was playing soccer."
GIRL:
"I'm in Hawaii.
It's great."
"I'm in Florida
visiting my relatives."
"I'm in Puerto Rico.
It is hot-- very, very hot."
"I'm eating lobster."
BOY:
"I am roasting marshmallows."
"If it rains, we'll do
what you did on vacation."
GIRL:
"We just got back
from the beach.
"It was so magical.
I built the biggest sand castle
I ever made."
GIRL:
"And there are
really big waves."
"I see people dancing the hula,
riding boats."
"There are a lot
of tall buildings.
It is a busy city."
"We are having a very good time.
Sincerely, Katherine."
"Sincerely, Samantha."
"Your friend, Timothy."
"Your friend, Rodretta."
"Bye. Your friend, Alicia."
"Your friend, Jose."
KIDS:
And now, back to Arthur.
Sometimes a vacation
doesn't turn out
the way you expect
like the time we went
to Lurid Caverns.
It's pitch-black
in here.
D.W.?
Where's D.W.?
Help!
Then there was the time
We went to the State Capitol.
The Rotunda was constructed
in 1835
using over 200 tons of genuine
Saskatchewan soapstone.
Could anyone guess how many
blocks of soapstone it took
to make this building?
Don't be shy
speak up.
But there's one place that's
always great to go on vacation:
Grandpa Dave's farm.
There's all kinds
of great animals there.
( mooing )
There's a great swimming hole.
Yahoo!
( sighs )
It even smells better there.
Having Grandpa Dave around
isn't so bad either.
Come and get it.
Hot, fresh
and delicious.
Who wants
another cob?
( Arthur burps loudly )
( barking, croaking )
Wait-- come back!
( croaking, barking )
ARTHUR and D.W.:
Bye-bye!
BOTH:
Bye, kids.
Be good.
Bye, Mom and Dad.
Paint the house
rainbow-colored, Daddy.
Don't let them
tire you out, Dad.
You just worry about painting
that old shack you call a house.
See you in a week.
Buckle up, kids.
Poor Mom and Dad.
What will they ever do
without us for a week?
( rock 'n' roll music playing )
ARTHUR:
This will be great!
You bet
it is, son--
fishing, swimming,
cookouts
and the county fair.
Cow!
GRANDPA:
Who'd have thunk
city kids would get
so jumped up about cattle?
Grandpa, it's going
to be super--
horseback riding
the ferris wheel,
pie-tasting
the prize snake show
and the queen-of-corn
pageant and more!
Different strokes
for different folks.
Who wants candy?
Me, me, me, me, me, me.
Hello, Dave.
Hello, Dave.
GRANDPA:
Hello, Ed.
Hello, Bill.
Hello, Tom.
Hello, Dave.
That lumber you
ordered came in.
I'll pick it up
later, Eli.
We're here
to buy candy.
A pound of raspberry,
a pound of lemon
I see you got some
new farmhands, Dave.
They helping you
fix the place up?
( scoffing )
Horsefeathers, Ed.
D.W.:
Grandpa, what
did he mean?
Ed's just pulling my leg.
For some reason,
he thinks I need help
taking care of my own farm.
( rooster crowing )
ARTHUR:
Wow!
It sure looks different.
Different?
How's that?
Everything's falling down.
Haven't gotten around
to sprucing things up lately.
Hey, you two.
What do you say
we go for a swim?
BOTH:
Yeah!
Yahoo!
( laughing )
( whooping )
Hey!
Gotcha!
GRANDPA:
And that's how,
150 years ago
your great-great-
Grandfather Gustave
came to own this farm,
and ever since then
this family has taken
care of the farm
and taken care of it
very well, thank you
without any meddling
help from busybodies.
( cuckoo clock chimes )
Well, time for bed.
KIDS:
Aw
Night, D.W.
Good night, Arthur.
( screams )
Arthur!
My room is full
of chickens!
D.W., quit
imagining things.
Go to sleep.
Come on.
Come see.
They're big,
and white
and they
smell funny.
Oh, for crying
out loud.
ARTHUR:
See--
bed, desk, dresser
chickens?
( clucking )
Huh?
Golly!
Plum forgot I put them there
after the hen house
roof fell in.
Arthur, your foot
is touching mine.
Let's tell Grandpa
to fix the chickens' house.
I want my own bed.
Yeah, me, too.
( crows )
Mm-hmm.
Nothing like
a bodacious
breakfast
to get your motor running.
Let's get this day started.
Grandpa, let's go to town
and get that lumber
to fix the hen house.
Oh well, I thought
today we could go fishing.
I've got the poles
and bait all ready.
I guess that does
sound like fun.
I got it,
Grandpa!
Well, look at that!
Whoa-oh!
( splash )
Rocky road
and chocolate
chocolate chip.
Thanks, Grandpa.
Will you buy that lumber now
so you can fix
the chickens' house?
Still haven't fixed that?
If you need a hand,
I'm good with a saw.
Ed, the day
I need your help
is the day
hens give milk.
Our family has been
keeping that farm
neat as a pin for
150 years, I know.
That's about how long that hen
house has needed a new roof.
Eli?
Where's that
dang lumber
I asked for?
Arthur
I'm cold.
Close
the window.
I tried.
It's stuck.
We have
to get Grandpa
to fix this place up.
( horn toots )
Hiya, Ed.
Thanks for taking
the kids today.
This hen house will
be a lot of work.
Happy to lend
a hand, Dave.
Hey there, kids.
Hello, Ed.
Kids, I have
too much work today
so Ed is going
to take you hiking
on Mount Springle.
Don't be too
disappointed.
BOTH:
Yay!
Taking it hard,
aren't they?
Yes!
D.W.:
Faster, Ed.
I want to get to the top.
ED:
Whoa, take it easy.
We're already there.
Wow!
ARTHUR:
I wish Grandpa
were here to see this.
He's seen it often enough.
Ed, how come Grandpa can't
keep the farm fixed up?
D.W., that's a funny thing.
Your Grandpa's getting older
and the farm's a lot
for him to handle
but he's real independent.
Doesn't like to accept help.
Trail mix, anyone?
Let's see this
brand-new hen house
your Grandpa built.
( sawing )
Say, back already?
It's not quite finished yet.
Grandpa, you didn't
do anything.
Well, now,
that's not true, D.W.
I started out
patching the roof
but I realized
I'd have to replace
two walls first.
But it turned out that meant
sawing some new joists
and before you know it
it's time to
call it a day.
D.W.:
Arthur, Grandpa
needs help.
He can't do it
all himself.
But he won't let
anyone help, D.W.
You heard Ed.
I don't care
how independent Grandpa is.
Someone has to help him.
But we're on vacation.
Okay, okay,
you're right.
Tomorrow we help Grandpa
fix the hen house.
Okay, kids.
Leave those dishes
on the table.
We're going
to the fair.
The fair!
All right!
Let's go!
( clears throat )
Oops.
Um Grandpa, the fair
sure would be fun, but
But what? Do you feel sick?
No, I'm fine.
But we can't go
to the fair.
We have to build
the hen house.
horsefeathers!
I can't make you
stay here and work.
What will I tell your folks?
Besides, this farm
has been in our family
D.W.:
Grandpa!
We are your family!
Oh.
Well, you have a point there.
I guess I could use a couple
of assistants for a while.
GRANDPA:
Whoa!
ARTHUR:
Ouch!
Whoa!
How about some help
on that roof, Dave?
Okay, Ed, you win.
But I don't want
to be hearing about this
all around town.
( chickens clucking )
Well
What do you know?
It took us two days,
but we did it.
Let's build a shower
to go with their bathtub.
There'll be plenty
of time for that
on your next vacation.
Hi, kids!
How was your vacation?
Look, we built a whole
hen house!
Gosh, Dad,
there seem to be
a lot of little
tasks around.
There's no end of work
on a farm.
Well, Dave, like I said,
I could give you a hand.
Ed Billings, this farm
has been in our family
for over
150 years and
it's about time we got some
decent help around here.
What do you know
about tractor engines?
MOM:
We'll be back soon, dad.
Now you two, into the car.
ARTHUR:
Oh, can't we just stay
one more day, please?
You might want to know
the secret formula
for drawing Arthur.
We'll do two letter O's,
hook them together with a little
upside-down letter U.
Then we'll do a larger
letter U like this.
We'll do a straight line here.
Two dots here.
Two lines here.
Two dots here.
A curved line for his mouth.
I will add his ears.
And there's Arthur.
That's great!
