Hi Craig! Thanks for taking the time to do this, it's really exciting (and probably not as nuts as those old live chats, hah). I have a few Hey Arnold! q's.

• In your career you've created content targeted to many age ranges, from your early PeeWee shorts, to Nickelodeon and of course Hey Arnold!, and later to educational shows for the younger crowd like Dinosaur Train. You've also pitched ideas that were targeted for older audiences such as The Patakis. What has your experience been creating content aimed at different audiences? Do you find any segments more challenging and/or rewarding, and in what ways?

• A lot has changed since the original drafts of the Jungle Movie script, from the voice actors growing up, to crew members moving on to other projects, and in particular the loss of Steve Viksten, who was such as integral part of the show's development. What were the biggest obstacles in bringing something like this back, and in what ways do you feel the completed movie lived up to and even improved upon the first version?

• One of the most gratifying and touching parts of Hey Arnold! was the development of Helga as a character, seeing snippets from the beginning of the show about her crummy home life and her obsessive nature, expanded on in episodes like Road Trip and Helga on the Couch. In the Jungle Movie we see her mature in a lot of ways, but she still has shrines and insane levels of Arnold worship. How do you see Helga growing in the future? If HA! were to continue beyond the Jungle Movie, what challenges do you imagine Helga facing?

Thanks again, and congrats on the new episodes for Ready Jet Go and Dinosaur Train!

Would be sweet if you went for a third year! A group of fans are planning a big get-together at Comic Con this year. ;)
