What happens
Hey Arnold! is an American animated sitcom created by Craig Bartlett for Nickelodeon. The series originally aired from October 7, 1996, to June 8, 2004. It follows fourth-grader Arnold Shortman, who lives with his grandparents in an inner-city tenement in the fictional city of Hillwood, Washington. The series centers on Arnold's experiences navigating urban life alongside his friends while dealing with various humorous and emotional situations. Although Arnold serves as the main protagonist, many episodes focus on the lives and perspectives of supporting and minor characters. Bartlett based the series on a minor character named Arnold that he created while working on Pee-wee's Playhouse. After network executives responded positively to the character, Bartlett developed the show's cast and setting using inspiration from people and locations from his childhood in Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon, and Brooklyn, New York. Bartlett created the pilot episode in his living room in 1994, and full production began in 1995. The series transitioned from clay animation in its early concept stages to cel animation for its first three seasons, before later adopting digital ink-and-paint techniques for its final two seasons. Hey Arnold! was among the last series greenlit under the leadership of then-Nickelodeon president Geraldine Laybourne, alongside KaBlam!. Production concluded on December 7, 2001, after five seasons and 100 episodes. The final episode aired without announcement on June 8, 2004. A feature film adaptation, Hey Arnold!: The Movie, was released theatrically on June 28, 2002. On March 2, 2016, Nickelodeon greenlit a television film continuation titled Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, which continued the story from the original series and resolved several long-running plotlines. The film premiered on November 24, 2017, on Nickelodeon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
