Arthur feels so definitively like a late 90's thing to me that it's shocking to realize that it has been going strong throughout the entire 00's and 10's

My mistake, it was 2019 actually that he got married! I just remember seeing it on Twitter and thought it was really cute.

Of course there was Alabama that tried to stop the episode from showing but overall it was well received!

So I only did a quick google search but the show looks pretty much the same to me now as it did then? What did they change exactly?

Loved this show growing up. It probably should have ended when it switched to that ugly uncanny flash animation late in its life, but it's nice that it still has such a great legacy.

It doesn't come across in stills, but the motion is extremely stilted, like cheap web animation.

They switched to using Flash animation (which is not an inherently bad thing, but easy to use badly) and started using a method where each limb/body part is rigged to move independently, almost like a 3D model. Rather than draw every frame they can create poses that the computer can then draw all the frames in between. Its usually very obvious when a show does this, because the computer doesnt really know how to apply the principles of animation, like squash and stretch, anticipation, follow-through, etc., so it doesnt look correct to our brains the way traditional animation does.

Heres the first Arthur episode that aired with the new style so you can see the difference.

I do know exactly what you're talking about, but I actually don't think it looks too bad. I've seen much worse. But hand animation is almost always better.
