951 The super Spy Quest review!

This is a Tom and Jerry movie with the Quest Team as co-stars. It is pretty funny overall.

If you think I don't love this title card, well, you gotta another think coming!

Villain of the Week- Dr. Zin

Dr. Archimedes Zin (yes, he does have several first names, but I do like the Future Quest version best) is the only recurring villain from the original Jonny Quest series.  He is also an expert in the realm of science, and has some kind of agenda of his own.

Let me know what you think about this new series!  There will be others, I promise!

646. Jonny Quest of the 80s: 10-13, series finale!

                      Here is the ultimate episode about the 80s Jonny Quest adventures.  It is a pretty good series, considering the time frame.

639. Jonny Quest in the 80s! 07-09 in review!

                    This show is almost great, and is quite surprising for the time period.  The 80s were not known for having action-packed cartoons.

632. The NEW Adventures of Jonny Quest 04-06! Time travel, Dr. Zin, and...

                      Another set of pretty good episodes is looked at here.  This show is such a pleasant surprise, I'll tell you what.

Johnny and Jessie Bradshaw

 

This comes from the fourth episode of the New Adventures of Jonny Quest (1986) "Deadly Junket."  The plot is similar to Jonny's Golden Quest, but this time Jessie isn't related to Race at all.  It does also feature Dr. Zin, once again voiced by the great  Vic Perrin.  Zin is using Jessie's father, Dr. Bradshaw, to further an anti-missile system.  I bet they are still waiting for it to this day.  Be that as it may, this is a decent episode, though I do think they should have spaced the Dr. Zin episodes out a bit more.

625. Jonny Quest's Adventures in the 80s! 01-03

                     I am so happy to be so wrong with my original thoughts of this series.  It is way better than I guessed!

This is a cool cover, though it sure looks like the one shot comic book cover.  Action-packed!

507. Jonny's Golden-ish Quest in 1993!

               In which X7 reviews the first Jonny Quest feature film,⁠ Jonny's Golden Quest⁠ (1993). It is a pretty good movie, but there are just a few things that it is completely wrong about. 

Future Quest v.1

 

Official premise by DC Comics:

When the adventurous and inquisitive Jonny Quest and his adoptive brother Hadji make a startling discovery in the swamplands of Florida, they are pulled into an epic struggle between the Space Rangers and a dangerous villain who threatens the galaxy. Now it’s up to the combined forces of Team Quest, Inter-Nation Security, Space Ghost, and a host of Hanna-Barbera’s greatest action heroes to stop him and save their universe!^[1]

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (1996)

 

From Wiki- Dr. Quest, a famous phenomenologist, investigates mysterious occurrences and exotic locales with his son, Jonny Quest, adopted son Hadji Singh, bodyguard Race Bannon, Race's daughter Jessie, and pet bulldog Bandit.^[2][4][70] Real Adventures is set a few years after the classic series, making Jonny and his friends teenagers. (X7 again)  This does help, for the most part, though a little more connection to the original series would have helped out a bit.  Jessie is Race's daughter, but at this point in time I am not sure if Jade is her mother.

Spy Quest (2015)

 

Tom and Jerry are up to their usual shenanigans at the beach.  They run into Bandit, Hadji, and Jonny when three cats in robot suits attach them.  After the battle, the duo join Team Quest at Key West.  Tom doesn't get any food, so he gets up to have a midnight snack.  He turns off the Quest alarm, and the cats kidnap Race and Dr. Quest.  Turns out Dr. Zin is responsible, as he wants Benton's new energy source, the Q-Sphere.  Jonny, Hadji, Bandit, Tom and Jerry all set out to rescue the kidnapped adults.  They visit Jezebel Jade at her cabaret, which is run by Droopy Dog as well.

Jonny Quest vs. the Cyber Insects (1995)

 

    The Earth is going through climate manipulation, with all kinds of calamities happening all across the globe. The Quest team is assigned to find out what is going on. This leads them to discover that Dr. Zin is planning to conquer the world with his cyber insects.
    This is now called the “last classic Quest movie” since the next iteration changed things up a bit. It was the last time Don Messick voiced Dr. Quest and Bandit. Tim Matheson, the original voice of Jonny, also is present, bringing 4-Dac to life.

The New Adventures of Jonny Quest

In 1986 The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera syndication package debuted these thirteen new episodes of Jonny Quest.  Since my area never had cool syndicated packages, I never saw these episodes until long after I read about them.  When I did see an episode or two, I was not impressed.  The animation wasn't as good (no surprise there) and there was a sci-fi bent to them.  I also figured the violence would toned down as well, like most Hanna-Barbera shows at the time.  So I have mostly ignored the show.

RIP Darwyn Cooke

This gifted author and artist passed away today at the age of 53.  I had first heard his name in the commentaries of the DCU cartoons about his storyboards, though I don't think he ever did a commentary himself. I then got the (misleadingly titled) Justice League: The New Frontier movie and quite enjoyed that, though now that I've read the books it was based on it's A. too short and B. lots of changes were made just because they wanted more Batman in everything.  Still, I'm happy to have the books and the blu ray in my collection.

Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest (2015)

I guess if Phineas and Ferb can team up with Star Wars, this isn't quite as far fetched as it may seem. Still, I could think of several other team up movies I'd rather see. I suppose it will be OK, especially if they handle the Quest team properly. Jonny's voice seems off, but I'm so used to the originals that I may never think of anyone else doing it.
