This movie was a critical and commercial failure. Why did they make it this way?
Ever watch Hey Arnold and think, "hey this unique urban cartoon that is know for being grounded and reality and real world problems... it'd be great if they threw all that out and made a nutty screwball movie with looney tune antics and a outworldy unrealistic plot with no connection to the setting of the TV show."
If you agree, and hated Hey Arnold, perfect movie. If you wanted to watch a good movie grounded in reality and within the scope and continuity of the original show, Skip it. This movie was clearly an intellectually bankrupt cash grap. The jokes aren't even in universe style, it's all just references to better movies .
