Get ready for another hit of that sweet, sweet nostalgia because Nickelodeon is not done with you yet. Craig Bartlett, creator of Hey Arnold! has just confirmed the greenlighting of a two part Hey Arnold! movie. According to the image and description, it already has a title:
It's official! The two-part, two-hour Jungle Movie is greenlit for production! So glad to be back with my friends at Nickelodeon.
The movie will pick up from the end of the original series after Arnold found a map potentially leading to his long lost parents.

After teasing this odd video last week, Nickelodeon finally gave up the goods on what exactly they will offer with The Splat.
The AV Club lays out some details:
Arriving Monday, Oct. 5 on TeenNick and all around the internet, The Splat is being billed as a "multiscreen content destination… aggregating the most beloved Nick content from the 1990s and beyond." And while that summary is egregiously grating, what it essentially means is that shows like All That, Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, Clarissa Explains It All, and Legends Of The Hidden Temple are coming back to TV (again) in the near future.
The Splat will take over TeenNick nightly from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., but will also live online at TheSplat.com and via an Emoji keyboard, so CatDog loving 30-somethings can Snapchat each other silly cartoons, or whatever. Viewers can also weigh in on what programming they want to see on the channel, something that TeenNick SVP Keith Dawkins told The A.V. Club is really going to help build the channel. As he put it in an interview, "the multiple screen experience allows us to listen to the audience in ways we never could years ago," noting that while shows like The Adventures Of Pete And Pete might not be on the initial list of shows on the network, that doesn't mean they won't show up down the road—provided there's demand. "It'll all be based on what the audience tells us they want," says Dawkins.
The preliminary website is still only in its rudimentary stage, but surely it will have a list of what shows will be playing and at what times.
Butch Hartman has a Tumblr! The man responsible for The Fairly Oddparents, Danny Phantom, and a great portion of your childhood entertainment, is blogging. If you want to get all nostalgic about Timmy, Wanda and Cosmo, he's got you covered with gifs, early animatics and even a Dinkelberg meme here and there.
Plus he updates on his new project, The Noog Network, an app for kids with games, cartoons and shows. Might be worth a peek at the app store.
