To celebrate Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, Craig Bartlett, the creator of Nickelodeon's iconic '90s animated series Hey Arnold!, has shared a brand-new frame from Nickelodeon's upcoming brand-new two-part Hey Arnold! television movie in a post on his official Instagram profile page, @CraigBartlett! Check out Craig's latest super sneak-peek, featuring Helga and Brainy, below, and let NickALive! know in the comments if you're excited for Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie!:
Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie takes the kids on the field trip of a lifetime: action packed and full of adventure! They’ll join Arnold on a quest in which he’ll try to achieve his ultimate dream and finally find his missing parents. It all starts when Arnold and his classmates take a trip to San Lorenzo, South America, which, coincidentally, is the last place Arnold’s parents were seen! Their trip takes a turn when pirates kidnap Arnold and his friends! From there it’s one jungle hazard after another, and the gang must put their heads together to get out of danger. As the leader of the journey, Arnold must make sure he and his friends survive safely, all while working towards a reunion he’s dreamt of his whole life!
The two-hour TV movie features a storyline that picks up from where the original series ended in the "The Journal" in 2004 and resolves unanswered questions and plotlines-including Arnold finally getting answers about the whereabouts of his missing parents, Arnold's last name, and how Arnold feels about Helga! The movie is co-written and executive produced by the series’ original creator Craig Bartlett and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif.
Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie is slated to premiere on Nickelodeon USA on Thursday 23rd November 2017, as part of the networks Thanksgiving celebrations.
Online at nick.com/heyarnold, fans can find out more about the movie and watch exclusive video clips from the film.

PlaSmart Inc. and Nickelodeon Sign License Agreement for PAW Patrol Branded PlasmaCars®
PlaSmart Inc., a Canadian-based, international distributor that selects products that are smart, simple, and fun, and Nickelodeon have signed a license agreement to manufacture and sell PAW Patrol-branded PlasmaCars® into the U.S. market over the next two years. Design work is now underway by these two iconic brands to pair three PlasmaCars® with three PAW Patrol characters.
OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 18, 2017
PlaSmart Inc., a Canadian-based, international distributor that selects products that are smart, simple, and fun, and Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids, have signed a license agreement to manufacture and sell PAW Patrol-branded PlasmaCars® into the U.S. market over the next two years. Design work is now underway by these two iconic brands to develop three PlasmaCars® featuring beloved PAW Patrol characters Chase, Marshall and Skye. The new PAW Patrol-branded PlasmaCars® will be available through specialty and online retailers in November, 2017.
“PlaSmart has long resisted the urge to license or to enter into any other marketing agreement with its flagship ride-on, The Original PlasmaCar®,” says PlaSmart CEO Tim Kimber. “But, every now and then a win-win opportunity may present itself.”
Currently in its fourth season, Nickelodeon’s hit series PAW Patrol is the number-one preschool show on all TV and follows a heroic pack of pups on their adventures to protect their community of Adventure Bay.
About The Original PlasmaCar®
In December 2002, while walking through a mall in Ottawa, Canada, PlaSmart CEO Timothy Kimber met Bin Chen. Mr. Chen was in business importing products from China to sell at retail. One of those products was an unusual ride-on toy that was not powered by batteries, gears, or pedals, but by moving the steering wheel back and forth. Kimber negotiated the rights to distribute and market the product under the name PlasmaCar® and, at the beginning of 2003, Kimber founded PlaSmart Inc.
The Original PlasmaCar® has continued to intrigue and fascinate throughout the ensuing years. Riders simply sit, put their feet up on the footpads, turn the steering wheel, and away they go, reaching speeds of up to 6 mph on smooth, flat surfaces. Not just for preschoolers, PlasmaCar® supports up to 220 lb. so parents and grandparents can ride, too. While PlasmaCar® was designed as a ride-on toy for kids three and up, older kids re-discover and re-purpose PlasmaCar® for competitions and tricks. Adults, university students, and employee groups hold PlasmaCar® races for team-building and fund-raising purposes. The Original PlasmaCar® has been recognized by numerous awards and nominations, among them the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award.

Double Dare! Martin Truex Jr. Slimes The Field, Winning Turtles 400!
Truex goes back-to-back at the Magnificent Mile and a Half
JOLIET, Ill. (September 17, 2017) – Back-to-back? More like Double Dare!
Martin Truex Jr. followed up his 2016 trip to Chicagoland Speedway Victory Lane with yet another this year, dominating late and winning the Tales of the Turtles 400. His reward was a slime shower as he hopped out of his No. 78 Furniture Row Toyota.
A year earlier, he used a late-race restart to top the field in overtime. This year, he led the final 55 laps and shredded the competition.
Truex’s fifth victory of the season, and the 12th of his career was hardly a cakewalk, even though the driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota took the checkered flag 7.179 seconds ahead of runner-up Chase Elliott.
In earning automatic advancement to the Round of 8, Truex had to overcome a speeding penalty incurred on a green-flag pit stop on Lap 39 and loose lug nuts that forced him to return to pit road and restart deep in the field after the end of Stage 1.
Though the victory eased Truex’s progress through the NASCAR Playoffs—increasing his playoff point total to 58—the winning driver didn’t consider it a statement to his fellow competitors.
“I don’t care much about statements,” Truex said. “I’m just having fun. I’m proud of our pit crew for doing what they did and everyone on this team. It’s important to come here and not let the pressure get to you, and I think we did a good job of that.
“Every time you go to Victory Lane, it’s special. There’s just so many people to thank. I’m kind of speechless, but (team owner) Barney (Visser), and everyone at TRD (Toyota Racing Development) in Costa Mesa building great engines and TRD Salisbury – (sponsors) Bass Pro, Tracker Boats – just everyone, thank you so much. It’s a dream come true, and we’re having the time of our lives.”
Playoff drivers claimed the top six positions in the final running order. Kevin Harvick was at or near the front all afternoon and ran third. Denny Hamlin was fourth, followed by Kyle Larson and Brad Keselowski.
Behind Joey Logano, who missed the Playoffs, seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson soldiered home in eighth in a No. 48 Chevrolet that lacked the speed to compete with the contenders. Playoff drivers Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray and Ryan Blaney claimed positions nine through 11, respectively.
Elliott was pleased with his best run since Michigan in June. His 42 laps led were Elliott’s most since he was out front for 106 circuits at Phoenix in March. But the driver of the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet couldn’t challenge Truex, who led 77 laps and was pulling away at the finish.
“Obviously, it would have been great to battle with Martin a little bit more,” Elliott said. “We didn't have anything for him. (But) from where we've been to where we ran today was a major, major step in the right direction, frankly where we need to be, where we deserve to be, to the potential we can run.”
Truex had the speed to overcome his problems on pit road. Others weren’t at fortunate. Polesitter Kyle Busch, who won the first stage handily, caught a double whammy after taking the green / checkered flag at the end of the first 80-lap segment. Eight laps after a restart on Lap 88, Busch returned to pit road because of a loose wheel. On the stop, one of his crewman—from the crew he had acquired from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Daniel Suarez’s team to start the Playoffs—was flagged for stepping over the wall too soon.
Busch served a pass-through penalty under green, never got back to the lead lap and finished 15th in one of the fastest cars in the race.
But Busch’s travails paled in comparison with those of Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who scraped the wall early, incurred a penalty for a commitment line violation and finished 25th, deepest in the field of all the playoff drivers.
Kasey Kahne simply lacked speed. He ran 21st, three laps down and put himself in dire peril of elimination after the Round of 16.
Kurt Busch, who had shown a decided uptick in performance of late, pitted on Lap 200 with a vibration shaking his No. 41 Ford and promptly incurred a pit road speeding penalty. The Daytona 500 winner finished a disappointing 19th, two laps down and will head for next Sunday’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway with ground to make up.
Austin Dillon sped on pit road on the same lap Truex was busted but couldn’t overcome the mistake. He finished 16th in the No. 3 Richard Childress racing Chevrolet, seven spots ahead of teammate Ryan Newman, who ended the race three laps in arrears.
Notes: Kurt Busch, Stenhouse, Kahne and Newman are the four drivers outside the Playoff bubble heading to New Hampshire ... Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 17th, one lap down, in his final run at Chicagoland Speedway in the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

Nickelodeon treated the whole Furniture Row Racing crew to a slime shower during the teams victory lane celebration.
“It feels great, the best feeling in the world,” said an elated Truex just before he got slimed in Victory Lane by Nickelodeon’s Shaboozinator. “Not just the playoffs, but winning races and doing it the way we’re doing it right now. I’m just blessed to be here and I have the best team in the whole world and I love those guys. I’m glad I’m driving for them and glad we’re having success.”
"Yeah, I spent about five minutes in the bathroom washing my hands and face trying to get the green stuff off," Truex said afterward with a smile. "I remember watching Nickelodeon as a kid and that show with an obstacle course thing where they got slimed.
"It's a lot funnier to watch people get slimed than it is to get slimed. But it was definitely worth it to get that after the race."
The race was started by Mark Epstein, Honorary Starter/Wave Green Flag, Senior VP of Nickelodeon Partner Marketing.
