Orion001:
Arthur is a American series, but Arthur is produced in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Because of this many people has voiced complaints about the season 16 and how the company 9 Story Studio should return it back to Cookie Jar Production.  Others said that they want to destroy 9 Story Studio.  Just to remind everyone, because the series is made in Canada and Produced in Canada.  Everything from advertising and broadcasting the series is in the U.S.A..  So to tell you the truth attacking 9 Story Studio and Arthur series is like attacking Toronto.  So stop complaining, there is allot more to complain about than a bad season.  There is always going to be another season.

I think there is a huge difference between attacking 9 Story and the new Arthur season and attacking Toronto. 9 Story is only a very tiny part of the whole of Canada. What you're saying is like saying if you don't like some American TV show hosts, then you are attacking America, which is far from true.

I don't like season 16 because of the new animation. It just seems very lazy. I don't think 9 story's Flash animation is a good match for Arthur, a classic children's show done traditionally in hand-drawn animation.

Which begs the question...

Which animation method do you prefer?

True, but what if that season comes and there are very few improvements? Since 9 Story failed to make a good first impression on me with their animation, I'm a little dubious about future seasons, even though said animation has slightly improved.

Sorry, but the Flash just doesn't work for me. :(

Orion001:
It might sound strange, but I been to 9 Story studios.  It has good shows.  But remember when Arthur changed its early art style from Season 1 to season 10.  Than they change the style to a newer style for the remaining seasons at Cookie Jar.  I heard people complain about that style too, that the older style is better.  Well here is the thing about people and forums, they love to complain, because they can hide behind a user name.  Listen to someone who prefers to look at life as having a half full feel.  Over time people will get use to the animation, and even if they go back to the old animation style it will not be the same.  As times change so those the animation will change.  You got to live with the changes or you will be stuck in the past.  As for the reason why I say that attack 9 Story Studio is like attacking Toronto is because where 9 Story Studio is, if you burn down or destroy the studio you would pipe out a whole block plus a park and everything that goes with the park.  Best bet not to complain about a company that could affect everyone around them.

MCCJ:
Your right about the idea animation changes. Like Simpsons for example the animation has changed a lot since Season 1 of that show. I think they use computer animation too.

LovingBeagles:
I honestly didn't mind...or even notice...the change in animation style from season 1 to season 10 or so. I thought it was just a digital remastering. But if you look on Greg Bailey's LinkedIn, it says,

"The series was converted over to Flash animation this season from our usual traditional animation format. The show is looking pretty good and the look is quite refreshed looking but still maintains all the great stuff of the past that made it such a success."

I honestly beg to differ with Mr. Bailey here.

I've noticed that his words imply that the change just took place with season 16. So I am OK with seasons 10-15 or so. I wasn't very fond of high-pitched Arthur but I eventually warmed up to it. Season 16 was just hard to watch.

First of all: Yes, it is progress. For some that is an unfortunate truth. There is a saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I think that Arthur was pretty great in the past, so, in my opinion, it definitely didn't need "fixing" through Flash.

By the way, some have pointed out that more recent seasons have had some pretty weak or repetitive storylines. Looking back, I think I agree with them. ("Around the World in 11 Minutes", "Hic or Treat", "Baby Steps", "Arthur's Number Nightmare"). They have said that the show has gone downhill since season 7 or 8. I don't necessarily agree with that, but they raise some good points with the supposed "advancement" of the Arthur series. Some have even claimed that the show has long passed its prime, and that they should just can the series altogether.

Second, I don't think people actually meant to bomb or blow up 9 Story Studios. I think they meant "destroy" in a figurative sense, or they weren't really taking it seriously. They just really hate what the studios have done to Arthur, which I can understand.
