Originally, The Jungle Movie was supposed to be released as the theatrical feature of the series. A special one-hour episode called "The Journal" was also made to link the series to the movie. However, Nickelodeon executives decided that the made-for-TV movie, Arnold Saves the Neighborhood, should be given the release instead in 2002. Hey Arnold!: The Movie turned out unsuccessful at the worldwide box office but Nick was still interested in producing The Jungle Movie as the second, and final, Hey Arnold! feature. However, Craig Bartlett was then working on the show Party Wagon for Nick's rival Cartoon Network, and one of the conditions for producing the film was to work exclusively for Nickelodeon. After Craig refused and due to other complications, Nickelodeon decided to cancel the project. Nickelodeon and Paramount currently own the rights to the film and the story. Drafts of the movie were written and developed between 1998-2001 and it's rumored the script is in its 6th or 7th draft, but there are no plans to put it into production. Craig Bartlett still does not want to reveal the plot line completely, but much of it has leaked through his chats.There is a slim chance the story may be released as a book or a graphic novel sometime in the future.
