Everyone's favorite football-headed city kid graduates from television to the big screen in this animated comedy-adventure based on the Nickelodeon TV series. Arnold (voice of Spencer Klein) and his good friend, Gerald (voice of Jamil Walker Smith), live in a tight-knit neighborhood in the middle of a big city. Like most of their neighbors, Arnold and Gerald love their community, and when they learn that Scheck (voice of Paul Sorvino), a wealthy and powerful developer, plans to buy up their
neighborhood, tear down the buildings, and put up a massive shopping mall in its place, they decide something has to be done. While the adults come up with a dodgy scheme to blow up the streets in their neighborhood, Arnold and Gerald hatch a more practical scheme, with the help of Helga (voice of Francesca Marie Smith), who can't decide if she likes Arnold or hates his guts. Arnold and Gerald learn that their neighborhood was designated a historical landmark years ago, but can they prove it before Scheck moves in with his bulldozers? Hey Arnold! The Movie also features the voice talents of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Christopher Lloyd, and Dan Castellaneta. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
The charm of Hey Arnold lies in its wacky characters who delight by their off-beat kooky humour in this David and Goliath story about saving the neighbourhood.
There is nothing terribly wrong with Hey Arnold!, but neither is there anything special enough to set it apart from what its fans see on TV all the time.
Haha I love Hey Arnold! brilliant cartoon for all ages as you can relate to every character and its actually a really sensible cartoon with lessons to learn and shows kids how to behave, kinda. The series is awesome but the film is just short on coolness for me, its the old story of an idea working perfectly on a short
25min segment but when you try to enlarge it to a films length it goes all wrong.This isn't too bad but its not quite as good as it could of been, it loses alittle heart somewhere along the way and just doesn't quite grab you as it should. It still looks good though and all characters are present and correct with no dodgy changes made :)
