Three weeks ago we
reported that today,
August 9th, would see a DVD release for
Jonny's Golden Quest, the reunion telefilm produced by Hanna-Barbera and airing in 1993 (between the second
Jonny Quest program in '86, and the third program in '96 titled
The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest). And that title is indeed
now available from the WBshop.com online studio store, as part of the Warner Archive manufacture-on-demand program. But it's not alone!
In 1995, there was another follow-up telefilm that Hanna-Barbera produced, which was broadcast on TNT and led to the third regular series which came the following year. It was
Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber-Insects, and list
Jonny's Golden Quest it reunited much of the earlier voice cast. This 91-minute production is ALSO on DVD starting today, thanks to the Warner Archive's Hanna-Barbera Classic Collection. Priced at $19.95, it - like
Golden Quest - is unfortunately only able to be shipped to U.S. destinations from WBshop.com; however it is expected that both titles will later be available from Amazon's CreateSpace mod program, where customers in other parts of the world will be able to order them.
Here's the studio description for
Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber-Insects, followed by a link to order it from the studio store and then the title's high-res 3D package art:
The evil Dr. Zin has genetically modified household pests into disturbingly large insects that he calls assassinoids, fearless and devoted warriors that will carry out his plan for world domination. Team Quest, headed by internationally respected scientist Benton Quest, is Earth's only hope. When the good doctor becomes Zin's captive, the stakes - and the action quotient - grow higher. Enter Jonny Quest, Dr. Quest's bright, excitable, imaginative and heroic young son, ex-special agent Race Bannon, Jonny's child genius pals Hadji and Jessie (Race's daughter), their robotic pal 4-DAC and bulldog Bandit to complete the job of vermin extermination before it's too late. Your quest for colorful animated excitement ends here with this high-tech feature-length adventure based on the beloved Hanna-Barbera series.
