What would 'Hey Arnold' look like six years later... without Arnold around?
The Big Picture Hey Arnold! ran on Nickelodeon for five seasons between 1996 and 2004. A conspicuously grounded cartoon on the children's network, Hey Arnold explored growing up in an urban environment, embracing its setting's diversity and adult themes with heart and sincerity years ahead of its time. For nearly two decades since the show's finale, rumors have spread about potential Hey Arnold revivals, and Netflix even released the one-off Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie in 2017.
Throughout the course of the show, Helga would be seeking acceptance from within and without. Like in Hey Arnold, she'd be pining for her parents' attention inThe Patakis; however, she would actually stand a chance this time, as the pilot would see her get accepted into an alternative high school for smart kids.
Alongside Helga, the other three Pataki family members would be the same as those from Hey Arnold: her father, Big Bob; her mother, Miriam; and her older sister, Olga. Like Helga, they would also have developed since the original series. Big Bob would still be the heavy-set aggressive father figure he always was, but he would appear even more like a mob-boss than before, donning a tracksuit and running a highly lucrative electronics business.
Being originally conceptualized in 2000, towards the beginning of Hey Arnold's fifth and final season, The Patakis was likely first imagined as a hand drawn, cel animated cartoon in the same style as the original show. As Bartlett notes in the Jordan Fringe interview, however, it's hard to imagine that still being the case. Cel animation is rather archaic at this point, and The Jungle Movie already made the leap to digital animation in 2017.
