Admirable film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This movie gets a 10/10 right off the bat because it is just so amazing that it has finally come to be. Thank you, Nickelodeon for finally allowing Craig Bartlett to finish/continue this wonderful story! Hey Arnold was my absolute favorite cartoon as a 90s kid and I still watch it constantly on hulu as an adult. The reruns make me so happy, but The Jungle Movie was always painfully missing from all of our lives.This movie is a burst of nostalgia with many wonderful modern elements. The kids having cell phones was a wonderful touch and it was so nice to see them a bit older. I personally always viewed them as teenagers when I was a kid and I still do. Children do not accomplish/do any of the things that the Hey Arnold gang does. I think Craig Bartlett just had to make them "nine" because the show was for Nickelodeon. He even said in a recent interview that he would like to continue the show and eventually see them as teenagers.They included all of the classic characters and used almost all of the original voices, Francesca Smith of course being the most important as Helga. The actor playing Arnold did a magnificent job. He captured the essence of the character perfectly and delivered all of his lines with such needed emotion.The pace may seem a little rushed at first but give them a break, they needed to make up for 15 years worth of time and cram it into an hour and twenty minutes.There were definitely some corny moments which are good for really young/new fans like Abner eating the bacon and somehow making it back to America alive lol. And the green eyed people being a society without adults. I am sure kids loved that.The villain was wonderful and I was happily surprised to see how dark they went with him. Killing his own men to save himself and his death was extremely graphic. Glad to see they did not pull any punches.Jim Lang luckily returned to do the music and it was a jazzy good time! Too bad Steve Viksten who wrote all of the classic/best Arnold and Helga episodes died a few years ago. This movie would have benefited even more from his writing talents. He created all of the best Arnold and Helga moments. Luckily they chose to focus mostly on Arnold, Helga, Gerald and Phoebe who were certainly the best characters. But the rest of the gang is still included! The scene where Brainy jumps off the boat to save Helga's locket is so poetic. I was so sad when she threw it off the boat but I felt her pain.I honestly didn't think they were going to be able to deliver a conclusion for his parents that didn't seem like BS after all these years but I was BLOWN AWAY. I can't believe I never saw that coming after fifteen years. Of course it still makes no sense as far as reality goes, but it completely works within its own realm.The end with Helga's locket is BEAUTIFUL and honestly rivals Disney. "It's not a pure heart." Because the gold is not pure so she is not sure if it will work in the machine and she is also saying that she is not perfect but she is offering her heart to Arnold anyway and he takes it!!! Dude...when she reveals that locket and he sees it and takes it from her...CHILDHOOD COMPLETE!!! I seriously almost passed out from holding my breath when he was revealing his feelings to her. And when he kissed her it was like all of the planets had finally aligned. I was so proud of her for not freaking out and just enjoying the kiss. I am loving how they implied that they are definitely a couple in the end but she is still the dominant one. It would be great if she were to wear her locket from now on since her feelings for Arnold are no longer hidden. I would love it if the show continued but if not, I am eternally grateful that we now live in a world where it is confirmed that Helga loves Arnold and Arnold loves Helga.

I really like the title "The Jungle Movie" - works well. It was a really good movie. Get to see some of your favourite characters. Brings back memories. There was actually another Hey Arnold movie prior to this one which was also really good, but it has no connection to The Jungle Movie, so if you haven't seen the original one, be sure to see it especially if you're a Hey Arnold fan. The movie follows two Hey Arnold episodes known as "The Journal", so it would make sense to watch these two episodes before you see the "The Jungle Movie" just to get more of a insight if you already haven't done so. If you have seen the TV series, you would know that little is known of Arnold's parents; in fact, he lives in a boarding house with his grandparents for all his life, yet his parents left him when Arnold was a baby. This movie will finally go into depth on what really happened to his parents. The TV series was great, and Hey Arnold was one of the most popular TV shows on Nickelodeon. I loved the show so much, and always use to watch them after coming back home from school. I know it was a popular TV show for millions of other people, and I don't think the majority have any idea that another Hey Arnold movie has finally been released after all these years, so it's important to get the message across to them. It feels kind of incomplete if you seen all of the episodes as well as the first movie, but not the second movie. I always had doubts whether this movie will ever be made, but in the end, I'm just glad it finally did despite the long wait. The movie should've happened a lot sooner. The story was good and interesting - a must see!!!!!!

It captures the spirit of the original show perfectly in which it kept all of the heart that made Hey Arnold so memorable. The new voice actors did a great job voicing the characters, especially Arnold's new voice (He did go through several voice actors throughout the series). Hey Arnold The Jungle Movie is the perfect conclusion to such a classic show that ended so long ago and I will always remember this like how I remembered episodes like "Parents Day" and "The Journal"

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
