Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie

I've always been a huge Hey Arnold! Fan, it's the one Nickelodeon show that truly stuck with me, no matter how many years passed. It's always held a special place in my heart, not just for the characters, but for the quiet life lessons at the end of every episode. So to see Craig Bartlett come back and give us The Jungle Movie and actually deliver was honestly such a surprise. It brought closure, answered the big questions, and stayed beautifully true to the original series. Take notes, Cartoon Network. This is how you honor your legacy.

It brought back memories. The key aspects of every character were highlighted. I don't know what to say, Craig Bartlett you are a genius. Arnold meant so much growing up. This movie though unbelievable on few occasions, is a masterpiece. Should have released in theatres. The Arnold fans would enjoy every moment of it. This movie was a closing chapter of the base plot - Arnold's parents. But I want more, I want a lot of movies to be released in Hey Arnold series. I am 28, but I would watch Hey Arnold series when its started again. I don't know how to say this, but there were moments when I cried while watching this movie only to see Arnold crying at the same time too. I don't cry for movies, not for fictional characters, certainly not for animation but I did. I wish Hey Arnold series wasn't stopped because of a dispute with Nickelodeon in the early 2000s. Hey Arnold is certainly a highlight of television for me as a kid.

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.

Very good cartoon! The plot is great. The characters are the same and with the same characteristic; as in the cartoon series "Hey, Arnold" Perfectly brightens up the time...

In General, the plot is done very well. Everything is deployed smoothly and accessible, what and how for what goes. It is very important that after so many years Arnold's characteristics have not changed - it is very valuable!

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.
