I fucking adore Hey Arnold, it’s perfection. It might not be perfect as a whole, but it’s made up of many perfect bits. It’s got so much character, similar to cartoons like Ren & Stimpy, Chicken & Cow, the old Tom & Jerry cartoons and so on. The fact that everyone in Hey Arnold is so hideous or crazy is the main reason why it works. Except that one girl Arnold thinks he is in love with, who doesn’t know he exists, she’s the only pretty one I think. I remember that one episode where him and his best friend walked past her and he said “hello” to her. So as they continue walking, he keeps repeating the “hello” because he’s so insecure about how he said it. I’ve done the same thing so many times! Ah pure love.
