Primary
Hey Arnold! is a children's series that focuses on universal themes of empathy, community, and navigating everyday challenges in a diverse urban environment. Its humanistic approach to problem-solving and lack of explicit ideological messaging position it as neutral.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast of characters from various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, reflecting an urban melting pot. The narrative generally maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of all identities, including traditional ones, without explicitly centering on DEI themes as a critique.
Secondary
The show consistently portrays the Christmas holiday and its associated values of generosity, community, and compassion in a positive light. While focusing on secularized aspects, the narrative aligns with the virtues often attributed to the Christian faith's most prominent holiday, affirming these values without critique.
The episode 'Harold's Bar Mitzvah' respectfully depicts Jewish traditions and the significance of the Bar Mitzvah as a rite of passage. The narrative affirms the value of heritage, community, and personal growth within the Jewish faith.
'Hey Arnold!' does not explicitly depict any LGBTQ+ characters or themes throughout its run. The show focuses on other social dynamics and childhood experiences, with no identifiable queer representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Hey Arnold! is an original animated series that introduced its characters for the first time. There are no instances of characters being re-gendered from prior canonical or historical portrayals, as no such prior material exists for its cast.
