Buster's Movie Maker was a game on the Arthur page of the PBS Kids website.

Gameplay[]

Buster's instructions:

"I tell you what kind of movie I want, then I show you a movie that has some things wrong with it.

Your job is to make the movie more like I want it: either happier, sadder, funnier, scarier, or more exciting.

You do this by changing what you see and what you hear in the movie.

You can change what appears outside the window, who appears outside the door, and what's inside the box. You can also change the sounds for each item, and the music on the whole movie.

Click on the picture of the part you want to change, or on the "music" button."
