Basically Craig never talked or showed anything about Arnold's parents and decided that they are lost. They disappeared most likely so they used that idea. Arnold seems to live a great charmed life but with a huge chunk of himself missing. So They made the journal as a prequel to The Jungle Movie. The first movie was originally a TV movie but paramount pushed it to theaters and it bombed. So Nick cancelled TJM, even though they were currently making it. So for about 10 years it was put away in silence. Then 2012 came. The hype about it's cancellation increased and someone decided to start a cause to save TJM from the pits. Not only has Craig got his charisma for Hey Arnold back, he pretty much said I'm still passionate about the show and I plan to try to get TJM for the fans and myself. It's a great story left untold. So not only is he working at Nick again, Nick's being overwhelmed with sacks and sacks of letters about TJM and there is a good chance it could be happening in years to come!
Well there you go!I hope you have faith it'll happen again! c:
Real life is like that actually. And they did finally get to a point Helga couldn't hold it in. Throughout the show it wasn't just a running joke, but her love was deeper than just spouting poetry. She did things to Arnold that shows she really is a lot kinder than she appears. Brainy's the exact same as Helga, but he was shy not mean. Remember some of the things she did? Find Hyunn's daughter, she showed Arnold a good time(valentine's ep), saved him from Summer.
If you put yourself in Helga's shoes, I would have waited for a long time to say anything too.
Also Craig wanted to focus on other relationships too before finally getting to the spot where it was time to step up the response on it. In TJM Arnold would com back to Helga on her confession from the movie. And Arnold's persona's easily explained. He was like a little Buddha, the voice of reason in a chaotic world. His parents were also humanitarians and was raised well with his Grandparents who lived in a different era than Arnold's parents. But even with all that Arnold still made mistakes like everyone else. Helga's masquerade showed that Arnold wasn't being the best type of guy when Helga was finally nice. The egg story Arnold jumped too hard on her, and he even used his best friend's sister to make the girl he likes like-like him. Though he seems perfect in every way, he's still like a lot of other people.
Now here is someone I'd like to talk to! I agree that Hey Arnold is EASILY my favorite cartoon of all time. Though I can say it's on the 90's block on teennick! Craig has stated as one of his goals now that he's back at nick, is to try continuing Hey Arnold!
I liked this show back when it was on. I thought one of the best episodes was the Stoop Kid one.
However, I stopped watching near the end of its run. I didn't care for how Arnold slowly became"perfect". If there's one thing I still don't understand, why didn't they just make The Jungle Movie the actual theatrical movie instead of taking the neighborhood movie (originally made for TV) and putting extra shadows on it?
Well Arnold Saves the Neighborhood was supposed to be, but Paramount decided it should go theatrical anyway and it bombed. They wanted to do it and it didn't make them enough money so they cancelled everything.
Amen to this. I have no problem with people not liking it. Everyone is entitled to what they do and don't like, but it is best to stay out of threads that you don't like or feel like talking about.
Back to Hey Arnold, it was a FANTASTIC show. No show did this. Most people praise Ren and Stimpy, but in my world it was utter crap and it was in the 90's golden era, so to say. The variety of characters was simply astounding. Dealing with topics where everyone today would whine and complain and say it "offends" them. I enjoy it to this day and will fight for it's return. Arnold's deserves to get the chance to find his parents and Helga deserves a kiss from Arnold accepting her feelings.
