The music for the new Hey Arnold! movie
If The Jungle Movie were to end with Arnold staying in San Lorenzo with his parents and thereby leaving his world behind, his grandparents, his town, his friends and Helga, I want the ending score to be as epic as “Farewell” from Pocahontas!
I want to see Stella and Miles holding their son’s shoulders after he’s had a difficult goodbye with his friends, but mostly Helga whom he told only yesterday that he loved her.
I want Phoebe to help Helga hold back her tears as they get on board the ship or the plane. (I prefer ship for the sake of this particular scenario)
I want to see the conflicting emotions in Arnold’s eyes while the ship starts to slowly sail away.
I want Stella and Miles to look at each before pushing at their son’s back to make him run after the ship for a final goodbye.
I want Arnold to run through the jungle, jump over rocks, push away the leaves from the trees while he’s following the ship intensely.
I want Arnold to be forced to stop at the edge of a cliff while trying to get Helga’s attention.
I want Helga to hear Arnold call her name, the same way he’s heard her call his name over and over in the series even though he was miles away from her.
I want Helga to run to the very edge of the ship just so she can look at Arnold for a few seconds more before she won’t see him again for who knows how many years.
And I want Arnold and Helga to smile at each other because they know they are destined to meet again.
