Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Adults of the 1960s had James Bond and James West - and, their children had Jonny Quest! :)I wasn't old enough to see "Jonny Quest" in the 1960s...but, I caught-up with him in the 1970s when re-runs were aired. This is truly a magnificent cartoon for kids who seek excitement!"Jonny Quest" is not only exciting; it has great stories; exotic settings; interesting creatures and monsters; and, clever villains! I'm betting that most every little boy who watched and loved "Jonny Quest" has since graduated to watching and loving "James Bond" and "James West," as I did.This is 'exactly' the kind of thrilling 'boys' cartoon that should have had a run of many years; but, it only lasted 'one!?!?' I don't get it!?!? Even on IMDb, it has scored 8.0; so...someone other than me must have loved this cartoon as a boy!?!?This is the kind of cartoon that gets little boys (monkey-see, monkey-do) to go out into the forest and seek-out bugs; amphibians; reptiles; and, other animals and interesting creatures. It gets boys to climb trees; go hiking; swimming; snorkeling; scuba diving; water skiing; and, other exciting and 'active' activities. It gets boys to rent a row boat and cruise the nearby lake; or, rent a canoe and go down the nearby river. This cartoon gets boys to do anything other than sit around the house 'gaming' on a computer with a dozen Dunkin' Donuts, a box of Twinkies, and, a 3-Litre bottle of soda!?!?This cartoon also rids a little boy of the 2nd and 4th 'Deadly Sins' - Gluttony and Sloth!Maybe boys (people in general) nowadays feel threatened by Jonny Quest because he'd never advocate sitting around the house on a nice day, all day, in front of a computer when you could be out doing something 'active' when the cartoon's over!?!?Dunno! But, cancelling this show after such a short run, like cancelling "Star Trek" TOS...was a blunder!

I have made no secret of loving Hanna-Barbera, Scooby Doo Where Are You?, The Flintstones and Tom and Jerry are three of my all-time favourite shows, animated or non-animated. Jonny Quest is among their best, it is such a great show, cool and original and definitely a must watch.The animation may be dated by today's standards, but I think the drawings, character designs, backgrounds and colours are still very good and attractive. The music is one of the show's coolest assets, I love how funky it is, while the writing is intelligent with some very strong humour and the story lines are original and fun. And I love the characters, Jonny is a wonderful protagonist and you can't help but love Bandit. The best though is Race Bannon who is so strong, suave and sexy, I have to agree with anyone who says any small boy would want to grow up to be like him.Overall, wonderful and a must for animation or Hanna-Barbera fans! 10/10 Bathany Cox

This was a hip, gutsy cartoon that didn't pull any punches. As a kid I remember thinking "Wow, these bad guys are really bad, and creepy too", but Jonny and the gang never lose their cool. I noticed how they would think their way through problems. They never picked a fight, but carried weapons just in case and they were not afraid to use them if need be. No touchy-feely crap here. Bust a head or bust a cap, whatever it takes to survive.Jonny was the kid we wanted to be and Race Bannon was the guy we wanted to grow up to be. Dr. Quest was the archetypal workaholic dad, but still keeps Jonny close and loved him. Hadji was the friend we all need, smart, able, mysterious, good natured and most of all, loyal to a fault.Despite the loss of his mom the four of them managed to form a working family unit despite Bannon's initial resistance to being a "baby sitter".But most of all it was the gizmo's and adventures. Come on, hunting Pteradactyl's with a bazooka and .45 pistol from a jet pack. Running around in jets, boats, subs, snow cats, jeeps, mini bikes. Learning swimming, scuba, judo and karate from Race, science from Dr. Quest, mysterious stuff from Hadji. Oh, and don't get me started on Jade (Race Bannon's mysterious but loyal Amerasian girlfriend).Dude, it just does not get any better than that.

This is one of my favorite animated series. I loved the fact that this went to exotic locations and all the wild villains they fought. This also was one of the first cartoon series that featured lots of action and even was fairly violent for its time. No wonder this was originally shown in prime time. Too bad the reruns aren't shown on Cartoon Network anymore. This show is truly a classic.
