Trivia:
After the success of "The Rugrats Movie" and "Rugrats in Paris", Nickelodeon came to an agreement with "Hey Arnold!" creator 'Craig Bartlett' for an Arnold theatrical film as well as a TV-movie. The original plan was for the theatrical film to be about Arnold searching for his parents, while the TV-movie, originally titled "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood", was about Arnold saving his neighborhood from being torn down. Problems with the script kept the theatrical movie on hold for a number of years, and Nickelodeon, wanting an Arnold movie in theaters before the show lost its popularity, had "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood" converted into this film. However, a poor showing at the box office, along with 'Craig Bartlett' leaving Nickelodeon for Cartoon Network, means that the original movie probably will never be made. more
Goofs:
Continuity: There's a scene where Arnold is talking about saving the neighborhood, while Helga is on the roof of a building talking to herself. Arnold is in the street, and there's a man in a white tank top standing in front of him. In another shot, the man is standing behind Arnold, and Helga shoots a plunger at his head. Then in the next shot, the man is back in front of Arnold and his head doesn't have the plunger on it any more. more

i thought it was pretty good, 31 December 2007
7/10
Author: disdressed12 from Canada

i haven't see the show that this cartoon is based on,so i can't compare it to that.as a standalone movie,though,i thought it was pretty good.i liked the characters and their quirks.the story was full of intrigue and suspense.yes,i said it suspense,even though it's a cartoon.the movie also moves along at a decent clip.there are a lot of pop cultural references,some modern,some older,but many adults will get them.of course there's also some references only kids will get,but there is enough for everybody.the movie isn't particularly hilarious,but it does have some amusing moments,and even one or two quite funny parts.there are some fairly dark and mature themes in this movie,so it might be too much for young kids.i'd say it would be OK for anyone over 10,depending on maturity level,of course.for me,Hey Arnold!The Movie is about a 7/10
