When "Hey Arnold" ended over a decade ago, the creators wanted to resolve the plot with Arnold finding his missing parents and him recuperating Helga's feelings. For the longest time, this movie was said to be unfilmable. The original series wasn't as good as say "SpongeBob Squarepants" or "Invader Zim" but it was still pretty awesome. It was probably the focus on the side characters that made it so good. That's why I'm a bit disappointed they didn't use them that much here. Okay, they actually did get some really good lines here. I especially loved Rhonda hearing they wouldn't tell the Wii-Fii password. She says, "You monster!" and now they have to change it.
We get great parts in the beginning where we see a montage of all the people Arnold helped throughout the show's run and how one person like him really can make all the difference. I love his attitude towards Helga in this movie, particularly with how it comes full circle with how he's aware of her crush on him. They do still kind of keep it secret at the very end. I admit I knew Eduardo was the villain in disguise. This still has great animation and properly concluded a great show. This is why I watch Nickelodeon now. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving I suppose! ***1/2
