Per Polygon, Bartlett said, “It’s very meta and it answers just about every fan question I’ve ever gotten from fans over the years. The biggest question the movie will answer is who Arnold’s parents are and what happened to them.”
The news of the film finally coming out came as a shock for many, especially considering that Hey Arnold! show ended way back in 2004 with plenty of cliffhangers. Originally, The Jungle Movie was set to air around the show’s ending, but the lackluster reception of Hey Arnold!: The Movie prevented the sequel from moving forward.
However, with time comes nostalgia, and dedicated fans managed to revive the Hey Arnold! franchise through sheer force of will. Those very same fans hoped this new movie would wrap up all of the franchise’s loose ends, and Bartlett promised the film would do just that.
“I cant’t [sic] give away too much information, and I don’t want to spoil anything, but literally every question I’ve ever been asked will be answered,” he stressed at the time. “I’ve collected all of the questions over the years!”
