The show was produced in Canada, with voice actors working in Toronto and Montreal.
Over the years, many celebrities have made guest appearances on “Arthur”, including Yo-Yo Ma, Art Garfunkel, Matt Damon, Alex Trebek, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and more.

Yes, I am one of the millennials who just watched the last episode of Arthur. Definitely an end of an era. It was a really good send off. Thank you, Arthur, for the joy you helped bring me. #arthur #Arthur25
