A Little About Hey Arnold
The history of Arnold began in the year 1988. At that time Craig Bartlett shaped a figure with a pretty wide head from plasticine.1993 Craig managed to interest Nickelodeon, in a cartoon series about Arnold. So he began to make the pilot episode 24 Hours to live, which had its premiere on 7th of October 1996. During the following years Nickelodeon requested additional episodes. Along with the different seasons the characters changed. While at the beginning of the series Arnold was a carefree nine-year-old with childisch problems and daydreams, he became more mature in the following seasons and had to cope with more complex problems. For example in the last episode of the third season we learn that Arnold lives with his grandparents because his parents are lost in the jungle and he still hopes for them to return one day. Furthermore Helga's secret love for Arnold became more and more of an important subject of the series. The progress has effects on the outer appearance of the characters as well: As Arnold was small and weak at the beginning of the series, but he seemed to have grown up in the last two seasons. Also the animation was greatly improved. The characters' limbs did not look like they were made of rubber any more and the colors became brighter.
