Release
Hey Arnold!: The Movie was Nickelodeon's first animated feature to receive a PG rating from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). The film's poster is modeled after that for Nicktoons' previous theatrical release, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Opening on June 28, 2002 in the U.S., despite beating its extremely mere budget of $3 million, Hey Arnold!: The Movie was still considered a box-office bomb. The film grossed US$5.7 million from 2,527 theaters on its opening weekend. Total earnings have amounted to US$13.7 million domestically, and US$15.2 million worldwide. The film was released on VHS and DVD on December 31, 2002; its special features consisted of only the theatrical trailer and an interactive game based on Charlotte's Web 2: Wilbur's Great Adventure.
THQ released a video game of the movie, exclusively for the Game Boy Advance. The game consists of 5 worlds, with 4 levels each (each including a boss on the fourth level) and the player can play as Arnold, Gerald, Grandpa, and Grandma. Helga is playable only with a cheat code found on various websites.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
