ALRIGHT! You're reviewing the very film you sent me a signed Blu-Ray of! Again, thank you for that Patreon Reward, it helped me rediscover how great the movie is. AniMat Seal of Approval-worthy? Eh, not sure, but I'd argue it deserves at least a 7 or an 8.

Hugo Segal

Yeah... the review says it all. For my money, I'd stick with "The Jungle Movie." Say what you will about that stand-alone sequel, but at least it comes from a genuine place of heart and passion; the same cannot be said for its mediocre, rushed-out mess of a predecessor. "Treasure Planet" is next... And coincidental timing as next week'll be a new part of "Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios+."

So excited for you Treasure Planet review! Maybe not one of Disney’s best, but definitely one of my favorites!

I would also say that you should just stick with the jungle movie since it’s a way better movie but if you’re looking for something theatrical that’s not Spongebob then I would either go The Wild Thornberry’s movie or any of the Rugrats movies (and yes I would even recommend Rugrats Go Wild as that movies not as bad as people say) anyway next review is Treasure Planet which should be interesting, I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favorite Disney movies but I do still enjoy it also I’m not sure if this was intentional by the person who requested Treasure Planet but not only will he be talking about it next on Animation Lookback but by the time the review comes out it’ll be close to the 18th anniversary of the movie

I never saw the series myself, but oof that sounds bad when talking about the film itself. I mean I guess it not up in the veins like SpongeBob or Rugrats movie where even the latter was more entertaining than this and this is from someone that never watch the Rugrats show either. I can see how you feel and I think I might not watch it anytime soon considering I haven’t seen the series myself as of now. For Treasure Planet, also known as biggest animated box office bomb for Disney at the time until Mars Needs Mom came along, that gonna be interesting. I’ll save my opinion for that one until next month, but first I want to hear what you have to about this one as a review considering you’re gonna mention that movie for Animation Look Back first. Can’t wait!

Yeah this review really does say it all. As someone who grew up with Hey Arnold and considers it one of my favorite nicktoons, I think what was originally supposed to be a TV movie should have stayed as a TV movie. While I think it has a lot of interesting ideas it just feels like they just rushed the film out just to make a quick buck. It also didn’t help when they did this with Rugrats Go Wild which in my opinion was the final nail in the coffin for the Rugrats franchise. For me I’m sticking with the Jungle Movie, at least that film had a lot more heart and passion put into it than this film and it also served as a great conclusion to the Hey Arnold series as a whole. So the next review is Treasure Planet this one is definitely going to be interesting and also perfect timing considering you are going to be talking about it very soon in Animation Lookback Walt Disney Studios+ very soon.

Don't remember much about this series; only saw a few episodes, but never really got attached to any element from this franchise. If the movie is as bland as the eponymous series, it might as well be forgettable at best. As for TP, all I can guess is that the animation will be the strongest point, the characters might be OK, but the story will be a complete mess... P.S: how I'd wish Mat would review a few Japanese classics, like Beautiful Dreamer (1984), Ghost in the Shell (not the 2016 reboot, please...), and Memories (1995), one of the finest anthology movies ever produced.

Welp compared to the Jungle Movie it was one of the many examples of Nickelodeon mistreating creator of fan favorite shows, hopeful they learn from their missteps and keep on remaining the network for creative kids or just be so current that your catering to dumb kids who don’t know any better. As for next time on ACR: it’s 2003 and Disney will be taking us on an Out of This World telling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, unfortunately they’ve lost millions of gold and sank the boat of traditional Disney Animation.

Kim Lechman

Yeah, definitely not a good Nickelodeon movie, it’s best to still with the series, and if you really want that feel of a Hey Arnold movie, just go and watch the Jungle Movie. It’s not perfect, but it’s still way better than this movie. Well, Treasure Planet is next. This should be interesting, because while it’s not a terrible movie by any means, it’s probably one the biggest examples of a Disney movie that is a mixed bag. There are some things in it that are great like the animation, some of the characters like Long John Silver are pretty likable, and the relationship between John and Jim is where the heart of the movie is where it all connects to the fact that Jim’s father left him and his mother, and therefore had no real father figure in his life. But with that said, there are some things in the movie that don’t work as well, like how the style of the movie is a mix between being futuristic while there are characters in old fashion clothing, which rather than making it look like it was intended to do so, it more or less make the style inconsistent, and some characters are really forgettable like Ben the robot and the villain whose name I honestly can’t remember. So this one should be a real interesting one.

Great series, ehhhh movie. I got a lot more to say about Treasure Planet, especially since I'm on a pirate kick. Well not space pirate but whatever.

Hugo Segal

"Treasure Planet" was released November of 2002.

Hugo Segal

The series is NOTHING like this movie. Emphasizing slice of life situations from a 9-10-year-old's perspective while never shying away from characters having intimate moments. On paper, what was initially titled "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood" could've been ahead of its time for themes such as urban gentrification... as a made-for-TV film. By plastering this film on the silver screen, all that can be said about "Hey Arnold: The Movie" is how it's a product of its time.

Hugo Segal

You just quoted most of my thoughts nearly for verbatim.

Justin Monti

Sorry if I did that I didn’t mean to.
