Hé Arnold ! Mission Jungle, le film

Let's just take a moment to reflect about what a treat it is that this even got made.

The trivia for the other movie straight up said "the film they really wanted to make (which will probably never be made...)"

OK: Does this come anything close to being worth the 17 year wait I had for this?

Yes. Yes it does.

You gotta go into these kind of things with realistic expectations but this is an engaging, funny and poignant adventure which requires you to suspend disbelief a little bit but it's a good story with tons of well judged fan service and gives every character that moment to appreciate them.

At first, the animation style takes some getting used to but you do.

You NEED to watch the finale of the series first. Rewatch it if you haven't seen it in a while.

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.

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.

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.

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!
