'Hey Arnold' Movie In the Works: Movie Reveals Why He's Staying With Grandpa, What Happened To His Parents
Here's something that sounds like music to a 90s baby's ears: the Viacom-owned cartoon series of a football-headed fourth-grader, "Hey Arnold!" is in the works and will soon answer all the questions that were left unanswered for more than a decade.
Variety confirmed that the Nickelodeon cartoon series is back -- not for a whole round of season -- but for a movie, which will answer questions like whatever happened to Arnold's parents or why he is staying at Grandpa Phil and Grandma Gertie.
While the network has confirmed that the well-loved series was slated to run in theaters, executives declined to disclose when the movie will actually hit silver screen.
In the upcoming movie, fans might be able to finally witness Helga admitting her deep love for Arnold, as she chickened out her during her almost-confession in "Hey Arnold: The Movie" in 2002. As for Arnold's friend, Gerald, and his girl of affection, Phoebe, will everyone finally witness the two kiddos get together romantically?
The movie is also poised to answer whatever happened to Helga's family. Are they still the same, old seemingly ripped family? Do her parents still favor Helga's older sister, Olga? Or have they finally turned out to be a peaceful family as years went by?
Aside from revealing what really happened to Arnold's parents when they left for a trip outside the country just so they can help others who are struck with a deadly disease, everyone wants to know one intricate, but commonly neglected, detail about the fourth-grader: his surname.
It was reported that the that the revival of "Hey Arnold" also comes with the reborn of other 90s cartoon series since Nickelodeon is planning on building "part of its future by tilling its past."
Co-creator of classic Nickelodeon series "The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Chris Viscardi, has been named as the network's senior vice president of content development for franchise properties, and with his new role comes the responsibility of overseeing creative strategies for Nickelodeon's famous shows like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "Spongebob Squarepants" and "Dora The Explorer."
Aside from that, he is expected to develop new shows from the network's haul of original series, which means there is a possibility that everyone's beloved classic cartoons like "Ren & Stimpy," Modern Life" or "The Wild Thornberrys" will be on roll again in the television.
