jjc927 Review of Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie

Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie (2017 TV Movie)

Amazing and Beautiful, Excellent Closure

[9/10 · 27 November 2017]

I have to take a point off because there were a few things that could've been a little better or just seemed off- mainly some of the voices, problems with the animation in spots, the eye effect that made Arnold look like he was licking a toad, and the ending feeling rushed. But man, for longtime fans of the show this movie was an incredible treat and it was well worth the wait. I absolutely loved it. It was basically everything we've asked for. So many great twists, the scenes with Arnold in the jail cell looking at the picture of his parents, Brainy rescuing Helga's locket, Arnold seeing his parents, him and the green eyes crying after it's revealed the gold heart fell down the cliff, the reunion with his parents, Arnold and Helga's kiss, and the end when he sees his parents downstairs and then they walk with him to school. It was just so well done and heart wrenching. I had to stop myself from crying, and I know many watching did. I love how the last part threw us for a loop too thinking it may have just been all been a dream. it was the closure we needed. Craig Bartlett has simply done incredible work.
