Buster Baxter (voiced by Daniel Brochu, under-credited as Conway Bruce) is Arthur's best friend. He is a white rabbit boy who wears a turquoise long-sleeve shirt and dark jeans. He has asthma, is obsessed with aliens, is interested in comedy, is an amateur detective, and plays the tuba. He loves eating, practices gardening, and keeps expired food in his room and school desk. He is an only child whose parents divorced when he was younger.[2] He created and celebrates a no-frills holiday called "Baxter Day" with his mother. His father travels the world due to his work as a pilot, and as a result they were given a spin-off series, Postcards from Buster. Buster is also a procrastinator, often preferring to have fun rather than study; one such instance nearly led to him flunking third grade before cramming at the last minute. He's based on Mark Brown's best friend when he was that age.

The Elwood Horror Picture Show is a 2005 animated musical horror comedy fan film that parodies the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show using characters from the beloved PBS children's series Arthur. Directed and produced by fans of both franchises, the film reimagines the original glam-rock, gender-bending chaos in the small town of Elwood City. The film follows Arthur Read and Francine Frensky as they travel through a storm and break down near a mysterious mansion, only to find themselves embroiled in a night of seductive performances, mad science, and glitter-fueled chaos. Muffy Crosswire stars as the flamboyant Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a mad scientist obsessed with glamor and power, who unveils her latest creation—George Lundgren as the golden boy Rocky Horror. Featuring musical numbers, outrageous costumes, and a warped sense of childhood nostalgia, the film gained cult status in online circles and shadow cast screenings, celebrated for its bold creativity and bizarre charm. Despite its parody roots, The Elwood Horror Picture Show explores themes of identity, transformation, and personal liberation—with a distinctly animated twist.
