The Flash animation is just bad...

At least D.W. almost sounds normal again, but we haven't heard Arthur speak in these promos, so it's hard to tell whether his voice is STILL too high for him, or if maybe he almost sounds normal again too.

We should see more improvements on the animation in future episodes/seasons. This is 9 Story's first time doing Arthur after all, so I would give them time.

For some reason to me I actually don't mind the animation as much in this trailer as I did in the last one. I dunno if I'm just getting used to it or what...

But it seems like the preschool class is really heavily featured in this season. We had a good many episode plots about them, and now the Tibbles are in this promo a lot as is James. May be interesting.

Also, in that one shot, who is that bear standing beside Ladonna? It obviously isn't her brother, as he is a rabbit, but who is he?

I am going out on a limb and assuming that is Chiekh based on what I have seen from the episode In My Africa. Also everyone we have four days left.

I'm not sure myself... I took a look at "In My Africa", and I don't believe they're the same character, there's a few little differences in their designs, so I don't know who that could be in the preview.

For some reason I have a feeling it is him...he just went over some minor design changes, which isn't abnormal to happen over time in the Arthur series...especially with 9 Story coming into play now.

Just for the heck of it, I took shots of both so that we can (hopefully) do a comparison of sorts.

True enough though... Emily went through some drastic changes when she made her comeback after being absent for a season or two.

The pic comparison is pretty interesting, though...it seems that both faces are the same for the most part. The most noticeable difference is the hair, with Chiekh having black, curly hair only on the top of his head, while the promo character has brown hair that creeps down to the back of his head.

Well, the new season began today.  Any thoughts thus far?

As for me, I unfortunately am not going to be able to see today's episode until 4.  :(

IMO I think 9 Story knocked it out of the park. There were new voice actors too especially for Arthur. I am looking forward to the next episodes.

Which speaking of Arthur, does anyone else think that Arthur's new voice actor was more suitable for Brain? Though I do have to say that Brain's new actor was also perfect, but to me Arthur's didn't seem to fit well with him.

What? You mean for the first time since 2004, Arthur DOESN'T sound like D.W. anymore?  :o

Nope. He sounds like Brain.

And oddly enough, Brain also sounds like Brain.

And D.W. sounds like D.W.

And the Tibbles sound like the Tibbles.

In all honesty, this wave of voice recasts are the best ones that I have heard pretty much ever, minus Arthur.
