The wait was long, but it was worth it: "The Jungle Movie" does not disappoint.Even when the plot is something bigger, more adventurous in comparison with the previous chapters from the original show, it still keeps its nice characterization and the clever humor which made this one of the most enjoyable and better written Nicktoons from the 90s, and it serves as a pretty satisfying conclusion for the "Hey Arnold" series.Definitely worth watching, especially for those viewers who are nostalgic for Nickelodeon's golden age.8.5/10

Hello! Watched this movie and happy! For 15 years fans of pictures were waiting, speculated, dreamed of a happy future of their favorite characters. And here is the happy moment has come! A film about the jungle promised to be interesting, and it really is.I especially want to mention the animation itself - the cartoon is colorful, bright, very beautiful backgrounds, landscapes, sky and jungle. I was afraid that more modern animation will damage the identity of the cartoon, but all was well. It was nice to see grown- up characters. Though they have grown slightly, but it is felt.Also, the creators have added a new product in the form of 3D models, which adds to the cartoon even more charm. In General, the cartoon turned out the way it expected to see - with old traditions, while many new elements.Many thought, will look like a journey to the jungles, because before that, the heroes left the city limits is rare. And throughout the series we've only seen "urban jungle".As always good humor from grandparents), And especially liked the presentation with the good works of Arnold, as if reviewing the series.I'm 27 years old, I watched the show in childhood, then forgot about it and with the film about the jungle remembered again and decided to re-watch all of the series. Really, in this movie there are many good and bright, it teaches good and what is needed to help people and to always remain first and foremost a person. The plot is dynamic, awesome music Jim Lang doing their job and 1-20 flies by very quickly, but how much emotion and enthusiasm in the final! Incredible! Personally, I respect Helga and consider it the main driving force of the film and the series. She really is a good friend and she can be relied upon. Despite the turmoil at home, she nevertheless devoted to his Arnold, willing to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of it, it's inspiring. Well that voice invited old actors, the game Francesca Mary Smith as always on top! But at the end of the film is an obvious understatement, not clear. I hope this bodes well for future episodes of season 6 because the themes of love and young hearts can go on, to show the development of the relationship of Helga and Arnold, the familiarity of their parents with each other, Phoebe and Gerald, and much more.This film is like a reward, like a return to childhood, like meeting up with old friends, as the Christmas present you've been waiting for! The world is full of violence and cruelty... And this cartoon is different from others with your kindness and faith in people. I recommend to view! Thank you! It will be interesting, want season6!!!

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"

"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!
