-Gandalf led the company to the Misty Mountains with the intent of using the Eagles. Saruman thwarted this plan by causing the avalanche and thus the Fellowship was force to retreat into Moria where Gandalf met his fate with a Balrog.
Gandalf’s parting words to the Fellowship as he was hanging onto the cliff (no pun):
“fly” as in use the Eagles, not run. The Balrog had already fallen into the abyss before Gandalf. No need to run anymore.
-Helga Pataki’s mother was an alcoholic and her father was abusive. The gang’s 5th grade teacher Mr Simmons was gay.
-Grandpa calling Arnold “shortman” was not a nickname. Shortman is his actual last name.
useless info: Most of the kids on Hey Arnold also voiced characters on Recess. Also once the kid who voiced Arnold Shortman voice changed, the show creators decided to keep him on the show and created the character of Wolfgang for him
