Hey Arnold! has become a classic of the ‘90s cartoon era and for good reason. It tells the story of a football-headed elementary school student doing his best to navigate the chaos of school, and a homelife filled with colorful characters at his grandma and grandpa’s boarding house.
As a kid, who couldn’t identify with feeling like you just wanted normalcy while everyone around you was introducing some new daily drama into your life?
For children, Hey Arnold! is light and funny, with some smart and snappy humor to keep each episode entertaining. But it is also a cartoon with depth and heart, and that is something that becomes all the more evident when you revisit it as an adult.
