There are many questions that have remained unanswered: the meaning of life, the existence of God and for '90s kids, what happened to Arnold’s parents in the show Hey Arnold! However, after more than a decade of anguish since the show last aired, Nickelodeon has released more news of the anticipated movie, Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie at Comic-Con today; and creator, Craig Bartlett, promises that the flick will answer fans' burning questions, including the fate of Arnold’s parents.
During their 25-year anniversary commemoration at Comic-Con in San Diego, Nickelodeon Animation Studio announced that the two-hour movie is set to be released Thanksgiving 2017 with the same beloved characters. The voice actors are remaining the same except for those of Arnold and Gerald, played respectively by Lane Toran and Jamil Smith, who will be returning in the film but in different roles. Mason Vale Cotton from Mad Men will be the voice of Arnold, and Benjamin Flores Jr. from Game Shakers will be Gerald.
The team behind the movie also released the revamped character designs of Arnold, Helga, Gerald and Phoebe. Thankfully, no major changes have been made, and Arnold still has his famous football head (the reason for it also promised to be answered in the movie).
Children of the '90s, let the nostalgia sink in. And if the anticipation of Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie is much too strong to sustain you until 2017, here is a list of '90s-themed venues and events around LA to help you get your fix.
