==Critical reception== In an article for ''[[Vox (website)|Vox]]'', Caroline Framke praised ''Hey Arnold''{{'}}s depiction of [[adolescence]] and [[Urban culture|urban life]], stating: "''Hey Arnold'' wove urban legends into its empathetic narrative of how hard it can be to grow up β and how rewarding the process can be when you have some friends and a whole lot of imagination."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hey Arnold premiered 20 years ago, but its hard lessons are still as relevant as ever |url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2016/10/7/13191424/hey-arnold-premiere-movie-interview |access-date=October 16, 2022 |website=Vox |date=October 7, 2016}}</ref> Rafael Motamayor of ''[[/Film]]'' echoed that sentiment, writing "Rather than show it as a scary place where every cop show in America is set, Arnold and his friends demonstrated that the city is also a place with endless possibilities, myths, and characters. Not that the show encouraged anything bad; the kids always knew where to go and where not to go. But it showed the reality of millions of kids who grew up in urban areas, and challenged the idea of the perfect American life".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Motamayor |first=Rafael |date=July 30, 2022 |title=The Daily Stream: Hey Arnold!
