"The Journal" is a two-part episode of American animated television series Hey Arnold! that aired as the nineteenth and twentieth episodes of the show's fifth season.[1] The episode ended on a cliffhanger that remained unresolved up until the announcement of a TV movie revival slated for November 24, 2017.
Plot[edit]
Arnold finds a journal describing the adventures of his parents in the jungle, their marriage, Arnold's birth, and other details of their life. On the final page, it contains a map showing where they had to go after they left him to deliver medicine to the people of the jungle.
Production[edit]
The Journal originally premiered on November 11, 2002.[2] It was originally designed as a cliffhanger as a lead-in to "The Jungle Movie", a theatrical feature that was cancelled and years later revived as a two-part television movie.[3]
Bartlett described the decision to end the episode on a cliffhanger was meant to act as a dare directed at Paramount Pictures who were considering producing a follow-up to the episode that would also act as a sequel to Hey Arnold!: The Movie. However after the theatrical film failed to meet box office expectations, the studio made the decision to cancel the film leaving the questions posed by the episode unresolved.[4]
