movie, originally titled  "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood", was about Arnold saving his  neighborhood from being torn down. Problems with the script kept the  theatrical movie on hold for a number of years, and Nickelodeon,  wanting an Arnold movie in theaters before the show lost its  popularity, had "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood" converted into this  film. However, a poor showing at the box office, along with Craig  Bartlett leaving Nickelodeon for Cartoon Network, means that the  original movie probably will never be made.
