Hey Arnold! Movie Confirmed, Will Clear Up 14-Year-Old Cliffhanger

The 14-year-old cliffhanger that fans of 90s cartoon series ‘Hey Arnold!’ have been tussling with could soon be resolved.

Kids programming behemoth Nickelodeon has confirmed that its greenlit a two-part, two-hour movie about the rugby ball-headed (or American Football-headed, as is your preference) Arnold and his gang of chums.

The show’s creator Craig Bartlett, who also created 'Rugrats’, celebrated the news on his Instagram page, with the title of the project seeming to be 'The Jungle Movie’.

“It’s official!,” he wrote. “The two-part, two-hour Jungle Movie is greenlit for production! So glad to be back with my friends at Nickelodeon.”

But it’s the cliffhanger that fans will be intrigued by.

Back in 2002, when the series wound up, it did so in a two-part episode called 'The Journal’.

In it, the jazz-loving schoolboy discovered his father’s journal while in the attic of the boarding house where he lived with his Grandpa Phil and Grandma Gertie, his parents having been 'long lost’ for the duration of the long-running series.

In the final scene of the second episode, Arnold finds a map which details the final route his parents Miles and Stella took before getting lost in the jungles of San Lorenzo in Central America.

Now Barlett and Nickelodeon can tie up this rather loose end, his mum and dad only ever appearing in flashback over the series run.
