Take a look at these previews!


You guys have no idea how much this brought me back. From the fact that it shows them pop out the same bushes from the opening, to the fact that it seems to take place after the final episode where they're in the future, but what really blew my mind is seeing the animation get the digital upgrade, which also brought me back to when Ed, Edd n Eddy made the big transition. Plus there's the major theme of the characters trying to adjust to the current decade, which is honestly a brilliant way to update the show, but still stays true to it's original spirit at the same time. It also leads to the spot on social commentary. From the multiple "Buzz Bucks" just a feet apart from each other, to the "O-Phones" and the 3D comic printer, but the part that really killed was seeing Really Really Big Man getting a dark gritty reboot. XD Finish it off with a really amusing recreation of the final part of the opening, and you get a TV movie that I'm super stoked for. If there's one nitpick I have, is that Heffer and Filbert don't sound EXACTLY like they did 20 years ago, but props to Tom Kenny and Mr. Lawrence for trying. Now we go onto...

Now this might be just as if not more exciting than Static Cling. Because while Rocko's Modern Life may be a Nicktoon I like a bit more than Hey Arnold!, this was originally a film that we were never gonna get. A film that would've built upon that cliffhanger left in The Journal, and actually resolve that plot about Arnold never really knowing his parents. But instead, we ended up getting the enjoyable, but still really subpar Hey Arnold! The Movie...and the show was eventually cancelled...as well any hope of Craig Bartlett's original vision for the series finale. Which makes seeing this all the more satisfying because we are finally gonna get it. The way they beautifully recreated a lot of episode moments from the past, as a good way of recapping the show as a whole, as well as remind us how much of a good person Arnold was as a character...even if he didn't have the best personality. It does make you wonder who was filming all that, but you guys probably have a good guess. But then you have the kids voicing the characters. With some exceptions, they sound really close and spot on to the kids that voiced them originally. So major kudos there.....though I don't know WHY they had to include Iggy there...especially with the episode focused around him...but I digress. 

Nickelodeon, you have had a pretty bad losing streak over the years, you may have cancelled one of your best cartoons in recent years (Harvey Beaks) as well as not really giving it good time slots might I add...but it's revivals like these that show you aren't COMPLETELY a lost cause...and are actually BETTER at reboots than Cartoon Network is at the moment. You really given me a reason to tune into your channel again. So...props to you there.

I dunno know about you guys, but I just can't wait for these two to come out cause...they just can't come out sooner..

With both of these and the Invader Zim resurrection, this gives me a lot of more faith in Nickelodeon again.
