NujabesLives!
Music for the soul
I have plenty more candidates that would fit into the role of favorite character. But given the Hey Arnold! movie coming out soon and my recent burst of nostalgia, I figured I'd give Pigeon Man his rightful dues. For a cartoon that's pretty grounded in reality(I've heard it described as a 'kid who lives in the Bronx') this scene always stuck out to me how for how meaningful the speech was. Jim Lang's amazing musical composition helps as well.
The original ending of the episode would have had PM simply jump off the building to his death. But Nick executives thought the episode was depressing enough as is, so they changed it at the last second. I think it's for the better as well.
Here's the music btw without the scene
