I am super positive surprised by this movie.
As someone who always loved Hey Arnold as a kid and was pretty sad that the Big Cliffhanger was not dissolved, I was really happy when finally "Hey Arnold !: The Jungle Movie" was announced.
The movie is awesome and not only answers the unanswered questions but then answers many questions in the series that is bad or not so good if you did not watch any episode of the TV series, you're in the fix and maybe understand the movie about 40%. But apart from that, having a super entertaining movie is really fun and it's just an enrichment to see a two-dimensional animated cartoon.
And actually, the story is almost cinematic I think it's a pity that everything turns out for the better I love my movies more with consequences but the rest of the movie is so funny so animated and has so many wonderful character moments and has a few my fan theories answered that I do not care.
I say "Hey Arnold !: The Jungle Movie" is a great fun movie sure for children older children young adults a must for anyone who even in the farthest Hey Arnold liked to watch and a great graduation for the TV series + it would even be wonderful start for a sequel series.

Ok, so this movie is essentially filled with Indiana Jones cliche's and typical plot sequences that I've seen countless times before so no originality there. Combine that with loads of fan service and you can understand why the movie was pretty predictable. They were way too cutesy in the beginning at which my respond was to just shake my head. At least they did the ending right so that does bring closure to a fantastic TV series. The movie doesn't have the same wit as the TV series but it's somewhat entertaining nonetheless. More than a decade too late but sure.

Jungle Movie sees our favorite characters leaving the city on a field trip to the jungle where Arnold seeks out his parents, picking up where the series left off. For the most part, this story is pretty far fetched when compared to the somewhat grounded plot lines we're used to with the show. Seeing these characters that we grew up with receive some closure on open plot lines and relationships that developed over the course of the series is reason enough to make this movie worth it. My only complaints, aside from the far fetched story is that we didn't get to see more of PS 118's many side characters.
Still, this movie is more than worth the watch, if anything for the destination more so than the journey that gets us there.

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.

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.
