sirwillisiv The Jungle Movie is an interesting departure from the show's traditional format. Hey Arnold! was notable for being the only Nicktoon that had a therapeutic, life-like structure to its story and characters. Shows like Rocko's Modern Life, Fairly Odd Parents, Rugrats, and SpongeBob SquarePants were and still are highly energized and somewhat irreverent, but Hey Arnold! was much the contrary. It was a level-headed chronicle of a loyal and big-hearted child making friends out of enemies, assisting his community, and enduring typical coming-of-age scenarios. This slice-of-life stuck out intriguingly well amongst Nickelodeon's library of fast-paced and chaotic cartoons.That being said, The Jungle Movie is an adventure film through and through, borrowing elements from Raiders of the Lost Ark (which was one of Molina's earliest film roles) and the Indiana Jones series in general. We follow Arnold, his best friend Gerald, and his secret admirer Helga as they brave the dangers of the South American wilderness, and a pitiless villain. It's quite jarring (yet thrilling) to see these young, timeless characters in genuine peril and watch how they work together to make it out alive. Heck, we even see some of bad guys get killed in non-gory over-the-top comeuppances that most Indiana Jones villains succumb to.Not only is the film a nostalgic trip down memory lane for old school Nicktoon fans, it's also a pleasurable nod to classic adventure cinema, with some colorful, well-animated effects, surprisingly reveals, fun action set-pieces, and a straightforward character- driven story to back it all up. One of the film's emotional highlights was witnessing the numerous cameos of one-time characters that Arnold had helped out. I personally wish I saw more of the supporting characters other than a few winks and smiles, but that's just sentimentality talking. Overall, I really enjoyed Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie. I'm so glad old cartoons with loose ends from my childhood are receiving closure, and I hope it keeps happening.

GravityLoudHouseLover1 Happy Thanksgiving Weekend Everybody I Just Got Done Watching Hey Arnold The Jungle Movie and it's was Fantastic. This Movie was based off the 2002 episode of Hey Arnold "The Journal" were Arnold and his Classmates go on a Class Trip to the Jungle & Arnold tries to find his Parents. This movie has Fantastic Animation and I also loved the Villain of the Movie La Sombra who was Voice By Alfred Molina who tricked Arnold and his Classmates to Come to the Jungle. I also Loved the Ending where Arnold Wakes up and he goes downstairs to see if he saved his Parents and he did. I think in the end it was revealed that Arnold and Gerald are now in the Sixth Grade & his parents wanted to walk him to school. Anyway Fantastic Movie 10/10

Thomas Stansfield Back in 2002, 'Hey Arnold: The Movie' was released. It was originally intended to be a three part TV movie to meet up 100 episodes but unfortunately Nickelodeon thought at the time that Arnold saving his neighbourhood was a much more better idea for a movie despite that 'The Jungle Movie' was in production. So TJM was on hold and the other movie came out first which ended as a box office flop and wasn't successful critically. TJM was still going ahead but then the creator Craig Bartlett was making a pilot for a new show for Cartoon Network, which didn't find its footing though in the end. Nickelodeon however decided to give him a contract to work exclusively on Hey Arnold only which resulted an end to the show and the production of the second movie. After years of interviews, petitioning, letters and hope, it had taken fans 15 years to let Nickelodeon revive the idea and breath it to new audience along with its fans of the 90's.The movie was the sequel to the 2002 episode 'The Journal', a two parter episode explaining to us about Arnold's parents and there life but a deeper along with many hints along the way that will be answered in the movie. The movie starts off with Arnold entertaining a contest for a humanitarian organisation with his class. After a failed attempt because homeless people had destroyed Monkey Man's home, his friends made a video about him and what he does for the community of Hillwood with family and friends celebrating his efforts by his side. The video was entered in the contest and the organisation quickly picked him and they are off to San Lorenzo. But when they arrived they've encountered the infamous river pirate La Sombra who had a bit of history with Arnold's parents over the Corazón (the Heart) which he stole from them previously. Questions were at last answered about the sleeping sickness that had caused a terrible outbreak to the green eyed people and what happened to Arnold's parents and why they never came back over the years. I will say the ending when Arnold was reunited with his parents did send goosebumps and nearly some tears, ending years of waiting. When it was announced back in 2015 that some Nicktoons were considered of reviving and that one of them was Hey Arnold! I was a little worried but after hearing that Craig Bartlett was coming back to work on it and to look after the production it brought so much confidence in me because he handled his own series extremely well and kept the heart of it all in a consistent manner, not having too many change happening that ends up destroying the show. The movie proved my expectations and it left me with a smile on my face and it left me entertained. The voice work may not be like what they were back in 90's but these characters were actually voiced by kids and of course they can't come back as Arnold and his friends as they won't sound authentic and so new ones have to be hired. This had been done before with the show in the past. Arnold was voiced by Toran Caudell mostly in S1 and was his singing voice for 'What's Opera, Arnold?' in S2, Phillip Van Dyke from S2-S3, Spencer Klein from S4-S5 and Alex D.Linz for 'April Fools Day' and 'The Journal' from S5. All of these voice actors would now be in their late 20's - mid 30's now. So it makes sense to have another VA to voice the football headed kid! Mason Vale Cotton I think it had done a great job replicating Arnold's voice. It might be a little high pitch but I still feel that he was still Arnold throughout the movie. Other voice actors were replaced too for characters like Gerald and to me his voice actor sounds almost convincing. It was good replication of Gerald and I enjoyed the performance. It was also fun hearing the original voice actors returning to their roles that can still do their voices such as Harold and Helga, they still got it! The music by Jim Lang is amazing and it still has that Hey Arnold feeling towards with its variety of music such as jazz and some orchestra along with new music such as South American music. The animation was good too although I will say Miles and Stella's hair to show signs of them ageing feels a little lazy. What could've been better is to maybe add some facial ageing to showcase that, I know that Stella has that when she woke up in the end so maybe more could've been done. I don't want to reveal more of the movie but its ending is something that fans had been waiting for to see and I bet they know what it is.So in the end, the fans got what they wanted after years of waiting and Nickelodeon and Craig Bartlett had finally fulfilled that dream to become a reality. Thank you to them for bringing such a classic Nicktoon to TV screens again. So what will be the future of the show? Some fans are thinking it might add a sixth season and while I am opened for that. I think it would spoil what the movie was trying to be. An ending. An ending to the show. But whatever the outcome is, I hope we see more of the football head real soon with the right people in charge.

jmcd2007 "Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie" was everything that I was hoping for. Craig Bartlett and Nickelodeon did not disappoint with this movie at all. Most of the original cast returns after a fifteen year hiatus with a few new additions for the roles of Arnold and Gerald for instance. Meanwhile, others like Francesca "Franny" Marie Smith (Helga G. Pataki) and Anndi McAfee (Phoebe Heyerdahl) reprise their respective roles as well, which was a pleasure to hear. All actors and actresses were absolutely wonderful in this the film and it's as if they never left the series (when speaking in terms of the original cast).The main plot of the film centers around Arnold Philip Shortman (his actual full name) wanting to find his parents. With the help of Helga and a few of Arnold's classmates, him and the kids in his class eventually win a contest to San Lorenzo, Argentina where they meet up with Eduardo, who was a longtime friend of Arnold's parents. While on a boat, Eduardo and Arnold then bring up the topic of Arnold's parents in which case Eduardo agrees to help Arnold with his quest. Eduardo then gives Arnold a pendent from the "Green-Eyed People." Not long after, however, we find out that "Eduardo" is really "La Sombra" in disguise, who is a river pirate that has plans to steal the "Corazon" which is an ancient and valuable artifact that would help the Green-Eyed People cure a dreadful "sleeping" disease that is plaguing their community.Once "La Sombra" reveals his true identity, he holds Arnold and his classmates hostage in a camp, only for them to break out not long after thanks to Phoebe's quick technological thinking. With a map in hand, Arnold, Gerald, and Helga then set off to solve the mystery of Arnold's parents once and for all. Once they reach the end of the map, Gerald falls through a bed of flowers into a deep dark cave and the rest of them follow which then leads them to the Green-Eyed People's Community. Not long after that, La Sombra reappears thanks to the pendent that he gave Arnold, which is revealed to be a tracking device. His plans to steal the Corazon fail when the real Eduardo appears. When La Sombra attempts to steal the Corazon, he is shot in the head with a poisonous arrow that came directly from where the Corazon is housed. Eduardo and the kids then start fighting him until La Sombra is tossed off the side of the cliff and falls to his death...although the Corazon soon falls off the cliff as well and it is never seen again.Feeling as if he has failed and let down the Green-Eyed People, his parents and his friends, Arnold, Gerald, Helga and Eduardo all return to the Green-Eyed People's Community and inform the leader there that they have lost the Corazon. Looking at the murals on the wall, however, Helga hatches a plan. She ends up relinquishing her infamous locket with Arnold's picture in it and puts it in the center of a tribal device that instantly cures the "sleeping" disease that has plagued the Green-Eyed People's community for decades. This also cures Arnold's parents as well, who have been "sleeping" for about nine years or so. Knowing that his parents are alive, Arnold reunites with them and it flashes forward to Arnold waking up in his bed at the boarding house. Hoping that he's not dreaming, he runs downstairs to find Mr. Potts, Mr. Hyunh, Mr. Kokoshka and Arnold's Grandma and Grandpa in the dining room all complaining about food. Less than a minute later, however, his parents emerge from the kitchen. From then on, he gives them a hug and they tell him they have plans for the day. Not missing a beat, Arnold reminds them that he has to go to school which they agree and offer to walk him there. They do so and Arnold and his parents walk to his school and the movie ends.I should also note that Helga does end up confessing her love to Arnold with this film as well. He also finds out that she loves him thanks to Helga giving up her locket in exchange for saving the Green-Eyed People's community from the "sleeping" sickness...along with the fact that she helped him win the San Lorenzo contest by putting together a tribute video to all the people that Arnold has helped over the years. Moreover, it also appears as if Mr. Simmons is homosexual, which has been just one of many long standing rumors with the show over the years. He is seen hugging a man at the airport who is presumably Peter from the Thanksgiving episode. Creator Craig Bartlett also confirmed the orientation of Mr. Simmons a while back during an interview as well.In any case, Bartlett has suggested that if this film is received well enough, in which it looks like it might be, then Nickelodeon might greenlight a possible sixth season of "Hey Arnold!" In my opinion, however, they really should just put this series to bed after this movie. Being that Arnold found his parents, which was one of the main question marks around the show, the story in itself now appears to be complete.In summary, no matter if you are a die hard fan or not, WATCH this movie! You will NOT be disappointed! Bartlett and Nickelodeon REALLY hit a home run here! On that note, I will DEFINITELY be picking this one up when it releases to Blu-Ray/DVD!
