''The Rhythm and Roots of Arthur'' is an ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' special that aired on PBS on January 20, 2020, and the sixth special to be aired for the show.
The Reads are going to a family reunion at their great uncle's farm for his birthday, and also bring Buster along. Arthur is excited to see his cousin Ryder after four years, but upon actually meeting him, he discovers that he and Ryder don't have as much in common as he thought. Meanwhile, D.W. continuously runs into a lizard she's scared of, and Buster feels like he doesn't belong at the reunion due to not being a Read.
!!''The Rhythm and Roots of Arthur'' contains examples of:
* AreWeThereYet: D.W. asks this during the trip to the farm, and even gets a song about her boredom.
* BrutalHonesty: During the trip to the farm, D.W. rather bluntly asks why Buster was brought along to the family reunion, since he's not a Read and doesn't even look like one.
-->'''D.W.''': I'm not being mean! I'm just telling the truth.
* CallBack:
** D.W. still has her [[WesternAnimation/DWAndTheBeastlyBirthday puffin toy]] and [[Recap/ArthurS23E2WhenDutyCalls Rapty]], both of which she brings with her to the reunion.
** Buster's mom packs an inhaler for him for the trip due to [[Recap/ArthurS4E3BustersBreathlessTheFrightStuff his asthma]].
** When Great Uncle Theo asks D.W. if she likes spinach, [[Recap/ArthurS2E3DWThePickyEaterBusterAndTheDaredevils she sticks out her tongue in disgust]].
** Arthur and Buster play checkers together, which they were already shown to enjoy in "[[Recap/S3E1BustersBackTheBalladOfBusterBaxter Buster's Back]]".
* ContinuityNod:
** After Buster's bag falls off of the roof of the Reads' car, a racoon finds his [[Recap/ArthurS1E3DWAllWetBustersDinoDilemma bathing cap]] in it.
** In the farmhouse, a photo of a young Thora holding [[Recap/S3E12WhatScaredSuellenClarissaIsCracked Clarissa]] can be seen.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Cousin" Miles being a rabbit rather than an aardvark is an early hint that he is not actually related to the Reads.
* FurryReminder: D.W. telling Buster that he doesn't look like the Reads is a possible one.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The owl in the barn that Arthur and Ryder sleep in has these, which unnerves Arthur so much that he is unable to sleep. {{Subverted|Trope}} since the owl isn't actually dangerous, just creepy.
* LampshadeHanging: When Ryder tells Arthur and Buster that he's entering fourth grade soon, Arthur asks if it feels like [[NotAllowedToGrowUp third grade has gone on forever]].
