Featured reviews
No bells or whistles, no shiny moviemagic, no nothing. In the way Xfiles movie was perceived as an elongated episode of the show, so is this. Problem is, it looks grotty. The actual look is so identical to the show it does not translate well to being introduced to 'blown-up-o'vision'. The animation is utterly identical to the show, everything is.
Fact is this: if you like Hey Arnold!, then you'll probably enjoy this as a decent episode. But no way does this deserve to be a movie. It looks not even as good as a rushed job, and the plot is as shabby as anything *I* could come up with in 2 minutes.
It's a kid's movie, with some half-decent gags to be fair, but it's a rip off.

My friend and I had said before "Hey Arnold!" came out that it'll probably be a pretty bad movie, because of the excessive advertising Nickelodeon put together before the release. With that in mind, I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderfully entertaining it was. Now, I've been a relatively big fan of the t.v. show since it first came out, so this is a biased review, but for anyone who's a fan of the show (and as one critic pointed out, who else would want to see this?), this is well worth watching. There's a few good pieces of comedy (mostly from Grandma and Grandpa), and the parents (who'll probably be a least a little amused by it) will notice a whole bunch of cliches from other movies, which is the style in the which many of the episodes are based upon. So the bottom line of this movie is: if you're a fan of the show, this is well worth seeing. If you're not a fan (I then don't know why you're even reading this), you might be entertained, but it's up to you.
I was thinking going into this movie thinking that i was going to hate it.All the critics hated it and said that Nickeloden made a mistake making this movie.But as i begin to watch i started like it.I mean it only lasts 76 minutes.So i spent $4.50 to see it and surprisingly i enjoyed it.
This film's origins as a planned TV movie show quite painfully. The animation is barely better than the TV show and the plotting seems low-key rather than something cinematic. It has a very simple story with the usual cartoon shenanigans of defeating the villain and saving the day. Along the way there are funny moments and characters.
My little brother dragged me to see this movie, I have never seen the show on Nickelodeon and I was dreading seeing it all week. My brother loved it and I have to say it wasn't that bad, it is actually kind of cute and I wasn't half as bored as I thought I would be. It is obviously a kids movie but I think adults will be able to watch it and enjoy it too.

- TriviaAfter the success of Les Razmoket, le film (1998) and Les Razmoket à Paris, le film (2000), Nickelodeon came to an agreement with Hey Arnold! (1996) creator Craig Bartlett for an Arnold theatrical film, as well as a television movie. The original plan was for the theatrical film to be about Arnold searching for his parents, titled The Jungle Movie, while the television movie, originally titled "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood", was about Arnold saving his neighborhood from being torn down. Problems with the script kept the theatrical movie on hold for several years, and Nickelodeon, wanting an Arnold movie in theaters before the show lost its popularity, had "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood" converted into this film. However, a poor showing at the box-office, along with Craig Bartlett leaving Nickelodeon for Cartoon Network, caused The Jungle Movie to be put on the shelf indefinitely. However, the show's cult following convinced Nickelodeon to announce on November 23, 2015 that they have green-lit The Jungle Movie. Bartlett returned as a writer and executive producer, with many of the original cast reprising their respective roles. Hé Arnold ! Mission Jungle, le film (2017) premiered as a 2-hour long T.V. movie on November 24, 2017, concluding the series.
