Hé Arnold ! Mission Jungle, le film

I've recently rewatched the entire Hey Arnold series, and I've seen obvious and subtle nods to the series. My favorite was the overall theme of Arnold's headshape, and how it ties into the movie. It reminded me of the episode where Arnold turns into a greaser to fit his head through a window lol.

I've watched this movie for the second time and have enjoyed it immensely. I grew up with the series, and I was so excited to watch this movie when it came out. It was worth a revisit. A true nostalgic treasure.

Every character was just a hyperbolic character of themselves, and everything felt hollow without the same tone as the TV series. The only parts I enjoyed were the grandparent and the adventure of Abner and the snake.

This film was originally planned to be Hey Arnold!'s theatrically released feature film back in 2002 and it was clearly a missed opportunity. This film is a great improvement on its predecessor. Despite the long break, the characters are the same as when we left and the style is also authentic. There is a noticeable animation quality improvement but the essence of the characters are unchanged. There is a compelling plot, great action and every character has their moment. Most importantly, there is a lot of closure as many plot threads get completely resolved.

Ok, so this movie is essentially filled with Indiana Jones cliche's and typical plot sequences that I've seen countless times before so no originality there. Combine that with loads of fan service and you can understand why the movie was pretty predictable. They were way too cutesy in the beginning at which my respond was to just shake my head. At least they did the ending right so that does bring closure to a fantastic TV series. The movie doesn't have the same wit as the TV series but it's somewhat entertaining nonetheless. More than a decade too late but sure.

I am super positive surprised by this movie. As someone who always loved Hey Arnold as a kid and was pretty sad that the Big Cliffhanger was not dissolved, I was really happy when finally "Hey Arnold !: The Jungle Movie" was announced.

The movie is awesome and not only answers the unanswered questions but then answers many questions in the series that is bad or not so good if you did not watch any episode of the TV series, you're in the fix and maybe understand the movie about 40%. But apart from that, having a super entertaining movie is really fun and it's just an enrichment to see a two-dimensional animated cartoon.

And actually, the story is almost cinematic I think it's a pity that everything turns out for the better I love my movies more with consequences but the rest of the movie is so funny so animated and has so many wonderful character moments and has a few my fan theories answered that I do not care.

I say "Hey Arnold !: The Jungle Movie" is a great fun movie sure for children older children young adults a must for anyone who even in the farthest Hey Arnold liked to watch and a great graduation for the TV series + it would even be wonderful start for a sequel series.
