Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Arnold's last name was hinted at throughout the series, but never revealed until "The Jungle Movie." So what is his surname?

Answer: Shortman.

This is shown when Arnold signs his passport for the class trip. In many episodes, Grandpa calls Arnold "short man." The wrong answer "Bartlett" refers to Craig Bartlett, the show's creator, who said in a 2016 interview that the boy's full name is Arnold Phillip Shortman, and confirmed that the last name would be revealed in "The Jungle Movie." The fact that Grandpa calls Arnold "short man" is a pun on his name, and a reference to the fact that Arnold is shorter than the other kids, while "Football Head" is Helga's nickname for Arnold.
2. When Arnold's parents went missing many years ago, they were in Central America, bringing medical help to a native tribe. In what country were they doing this work?

Answer: San Lorenzo.

Arnold first finds out about San Lorenzo in the "The Journal," the final episode of the original series. He discovers a journal written by his father, describing how he met his wife while they were both working in that country, and the mysterious tribe of people they met there.

He also mentions that Arnold was born while the couple were in San Lorenzo. In real life, San Lorenzo is not a country, but many Central American countries -- including Colombia, Nicaragua, and Peru -- do have a village or town with that name.
3. Arnold and company are met by Eduardo, a friend of Arnold's parents who had worked with them. While on the ship, he secretly gives Arnold a strange pendant, a gift to his parents from a native tribe they helped. What is the name of this indigenous tribe?

Answer: The Green-Eyed People.

From the journal, Arnold knows his parents and Eduardo worked together to help cure the Green-Eyed People of an illness. Arnold's parents also recovered for them a sacred relic that had been stolen by a river pirate. The pendant was a gift of their thanks. On the boat, as Eduardo gives Arnold the object, it glows a bright green. Eduardo says Arnold must be the one "chosen by the Green-Eyes." Later, warning of the jungle's dangers, Eduardo offers Arnold a choice: Turn back to safety, or continue on, and seek out the Green-Eyes -- who might know what became of Arnold's parents.
4. In the evening, Helga joins Arnold way up in the crow's nest of the ship. Arnold asks Helga a question (which she misinterprets). What does he ask her?

Answer: "You ever feel like there's a hole in your heart?"

When Arnold asks Helga if she ever feels like there's a hole in her heart, she answers, "Yes! All the time!" But she has misunderstood why Arnold asked her, and the "hole in her heart" is the fact that she loves Arnold, but doesn't know if he feels the same way.

But when he asked Helga the question, the "hole in the heart" Arnold mentioned was referring to his sadness about growing up without his parents.
5. After going down the river rapids, the boat crashes ashore, and Eduardo guides the group to the base camp -- and then then reveals that he is not in fact Eduardo, but an infamous river-pirate and mercenary. What sinister-sounding name is he known by?

Answer: Lasombra ("The Shadow").

His real name is unknown, but "la sombra" means "the shadow" in Spanish. Earlier, while still disguised as Eduardo on the ship, he warned Arnold of "the infamous Lasombra," from whom Arnold's parents recovered a tribe's treasured artifact. Moments later, when the ship is ambushed, "Eduardo" says he will evade the attackers by changing course and taking the ship down the dangerous Rio Oscuridad -- meaning "Dark River" -- which, as it turns out, foreshadowed "Eduardo's" revealing himself to be the cruel Lasombra.
6. "Eduardo" explains his goal: A native tribe's prophecy says a "child of the volcano" will save them, and they believe Arnold is the one. So "Eduardo" wants to use Arnold to find them and steal their treasure. But why do they think Arnold is the "child of the volcano"?

Answer: When he was born, a terrible volcanic eruption suddenly stopped.

Arnold's parents were living among the tribe of the Green-Eyes when he was conceived, and when his mother went into labor, it coincided with the eruption of Volcán Turriable -- and when Arnold was born (in the Green-Eyed People's temple), the eruption suddenly stopped, and the panicked animals became calm.

In a flashback in the episode "The Journal," Eduardo, who witnessed the events, says, "He has silenced all of nature." It is never stated whether it was a miracle or mere coincidence, but clearly the tribe believes Arnold will save them again someday -- and the villainous river-pirate is banking on that trust they have in Arnold.
7. When Helga tries to tell Arnold her feelings, his reaction saddens her. When she later hears him giving up hope, she decides to help him find his parents. To encourage Arnold not to quit, what aspect of his personality does Helga mention to him?

Answer: That he's always optimistic, even when things are bad.

From the show's very first episode, Arnold has always been a good friend, accepting of other people and their eccentricities, and he tries to do the right thing. He also knows when to ask his friends' help. "The Jungle Movie" shows the deep hurt he feels because of his lost parents.

At one point, he thinks all hope is lost: "Lasombra won." And even though Helga is still angry with him -- including for getting his whole class held captive in a remote jungle -- she replies, "Don't you give up now! Your blind optimism is one of your most annoying qualities." So she and Gerald decide to do the right thing and help him try to find his parents.
8. With the help of the glowing amulet, the friends make the long journey and and finally find the native tribe. Recognizing him as the chosen one, they bring him and his friends to their hidden city. Other than the fact that they worship Arnold, what else is strange about the natives?

Answer: None of them are adults.

True to their name, the tribal people all have beautiful green eyes. The only language they know is their own native tongue. Gerald observes that something is amiss: "There are no grown-ups here." And indeed, everyone in sight -- including the queen -- is a child. From a number of murals painted on the walls, Arnold deduces what happened: His parents and Eduardo found a cure for the illness that was plaguing them -- the sleeping sickness -- but at some point, all of the adults succumbed to it. Arnold also realizes that the treasure Lasombra seeks -- called the Corazón (meaning "heart") -- is the key to curing the illness, awakening the adults, and reuniting them with their children.
9. After figuring out the tribe's fate, Arnold, Helga and Gerald are taken by Lasombra, who followed them. With the real Eduardo's help, they manage to defeat the pirate, but the Corazón is lost forever. Returning to the village, Arnold is taken to his parents. What does he see?

Answer: They're asleep -- they contracted the sleeping sickness while making the cure.

At long last, Arnold sees his parents. They are alive, but asleep -- victims of the same illness they returned to San Lorenzo to cure. The purpose of the Corazón, a golden heart-shaped relic, was to activate a large stone machine that would take the sleeping-sickness antidote and turn it into a fine mist, so the cure would spread all over the village.
10. With the Corazón lost, Helga offers her locket (with a photo of Arnold inside). It fits in the machine, the antidote cures the village, and Arnold and his parents are finally reunited. But what is especially meaningful about Helga's locket, as it relates to a central theme of the movie?

Answer: It's shaped like a heart.

We don't know where Helga got her locket, and it's not engraved on it, but its heart shape is very meaningful. Helga worries it might not work, because unlike the solid-gold Corazón, her locket is just gold-plated. "It's not a very pure heart," she says as she gives it to Arnold. He replies gently, "I think your heart is more pure than you know."

The heart-shaped locket, which she's always kept secret, fits the story's heart motif. Though Helga has been in love with Arnold for years, this is the first time she tells him so. And as it turned out, both of them have known the pain of a broken heart: Arnold, who hasn't seen parents since he was a baby; and Helga, who felt rejected earlier when Arnold didn't respond to her confession of love. She actually tore up his photo and threw it and the locket in the river, but gets it back later, from a classmate who retrieved the locket and reassembled the photo. This foreshadows the "healing of broken hearts" experienced by many -- Helga, Arnold, his parents, and the Green-Eyed People's children and their parents.
