8/10
Extraordinary Cartoon about the Ordinary
21 October 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Hey Arnold! is exactly that. A cartoon about an ordinary boy name Arnold with an ordinary life that believes in extraordinary things. The main character Arnold is the dreamer type, who believes in doing good, listening to his heart, and then making the impossible possible. Besides the wonderful leading character and superb messages that this cartoon gives, the show is chock-ful of colorful and amusing characters, such as Arnold's whimsically eccentric grandparents-especially his grandmother, the uber clutzy Eugene, a spiteful villain that is hilariously the ice cream man, and Helga, the hateful girl in Arnold's life that is secretly passionately in love with him-one of the most entertaining, amusing, and heartfelt characters in the entire show. This show, while it probably won't win awards for best animation, even though it is charmingly original, has wonderful slapstick comedy, clever humor, good messages, but most of all-has heart. There is more to this cartoon then just 2-dimensional characters on a TV screen-there is a story-a message-in every episode-for anyone of any age. Truly a wonderfully extraordinary cartoon. Without of Doubt-10 stars out of 10
