Bringing franchises out of the ’80s and ’90s is pretty common practice in Hollywood nowadays, but adapting those old properties to the modern day can be difficult. On one hand, the revival should feel fresh and new, but on the other, the revival should capture the spirit of the original. One such returning property is Hey Arnold!, which is being revived in the form of The Jungle Movie this November. The A.V. Club sat down with series creator Craig Bartlett and voice stars Francesca Marie Smith and Anndi McAfee to talk about the revival and how they walk the line between honoring the show’s original spirit while also updating the series to reflect the changing times.
