First of all, I am so happy that this movie is finally being released. The Jetsons are without a doubt, one of the most beloved television familes that have ever graced the small screen. Like the Simpsons, they are one of the very few to have graced the big screen in full animated glory.

This movie is a very meaningful one for many reasons. It was the final performances of George O'Hannlon (George Jetson) and Mel Blanc (Mr. Spacely and a great deal of additional cartoon characters) Unfortunatly these gifted men lost their lives in the middle of the filming and you can definitely hear it in the voice of George in bit parts. This was also one of the first animated films to use a very primitive 3-D computer animation. Unfortunatly, I only got to see this movie when it was put on video so I cannot wait to try it out on my 42 inch plasma! It was also a movie that really kept the true elements of the Jetsons show intact with just a few new spins. Some examples would the new home, the music videos of songs done perfectly by Tiffany and also messages about perserving the environment which was just starting to become a topic of major concern in the late 1980's early 1990's

The Jetsons The Movie is one of my all time favorites and it is classic in my eyes. It is non stop fun with a little of everything. This true space age family is one of the few that should be preserved for many generations to come to let them know that back then TV family was a true treasure to behold.

Now that I finally have the movie in my hands I will say this. I don't care if there are no crazy special features I just have the movie and that's all I Wanted!!!

When they made this movie, they recorded the voices with the original cast. Before release they thought that it would help marketing to replace Janet Waldo's voice with Tiffany's. If this were a new creation that would have been fine, but everyone knows what Judy Jetson is supposed to sound like, and it isn't Tiffany. I don't think enough people knew or cared about this to affect ticket sales anyways. Since they did record the whole movie initially with Janet Waldo as Judy, if that recording still exists, when this makes it to DVD it should have an alternate track with the original vocals. It wouldn't be hard to do, but movies like this rarely get much love on DVD. Hanna-barbera has given a lot of love to their series sets though, but since Universal and MCA are mixed up in this one, I'd be surprised to get more than a bare-bones movie disc.

With everyone putting down The Jetsons and comparing them to the Flintstones with the recently release season box sets I wanted to say that it good to have some decent enjoyable animation out there compared to the garbage that get passed off for entertaiment today. This movie had such great songs I had to buy the soundtrack to go with it and the story line and new characters brought new life to an old series. Well worth addting to anyone home video collection.

I was so excited when I found this old movie on my shelf. I remember liking it a lot back in the day when I was a kid. This time when I watched it though, I was surprised to see it drag in several places. George goes through the same comic routine of getting caught in the sprocket machine several times, and it takes forever for someone to come up with an idea of staying in the plant after working hours to figure out what's causing all the trouble.

Then again, the film has some definite highlights. It's fun seeing the wonders of the Jetsons' new home, and most of the songs are surprisingly good, except for the one or two awful rap songs. Rap was EVERYWHERE at this time. Most embarassing thing of the 90's if you ask me.

The movie starts getting a little environmentally preachy near the end, without much comic relief to lighten it up and make it easy to swallow.

Good for a rental if you have kids I guess, but the TV show had to be a lot better.

This is a good movie for the under 7 set. Otherwise, it is very cliche and very cheezy. Way over the top. The Jetsons growing up was funny. This movie was too much.

NOT LIKE CARTOON SHOW, DRAGS ON TOO MUCH BUT GREAT FUTURE ITEMS WHICH SURPRISE YOU AS TO WHAT IS HERE TODAY AND WHAT COULD BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT SERIES. IT IS AMAZING TO WONDER HOW CARTOONIST COME UP WITH THESE IDEAS WHICH HELPED SHAPE OUR FUTURE FROM YEARS PAST.

Not as good as the old Jetsons- the voices are not the same, but it was ok & entertaining to kids.

While growing up the cartoons from Hanna-Barbera Animation were always my favorites and THE JETSONS is one of that studios best series. JETSONS: THE MOVIE follows in this fine and funny tradition and gives a nice environmentally friendly lesson as well. All the main characters from the series are here including nice working guy George, his pretty wife Jane, typical teenage daughter Judy, cute son Elroy, bossy robot maid Rosie, greedy boss Mr. Spaceley and loyal but slobbering dog Astro who foreshadowed Scooby Doo by starting almost every word with the r sound. Some cute aliens are introduced in the movie that liberally borrow traits from both the Smurfs and the Ewoks. The soundtrack is pure early 90s teen music (teen icon of the late 80's "Tiffany" voices daughter Judy) which is not a favorite style of mine but this is a decent representation. Kids and younger adults who have never seen the original show will like this movie for its humorous moments, lovable characters and creative "future" view. The film provides some nostalgia for adults who remember watching this on TV either in its first run or repeats.

I loved the Songs they were soooooo great. I just rewind them and watch them over and over. It was great that Tiffany did the voice. I think the great songs made the movie soooo much better! I love the sequences too because they are like music videos and they are very creative. I also like how a lot of the movie is about Judy! But over all the animation is great! And the plot line is a lot better then most other taken from a series cartoon movie!

This is nothing more than a music video for a washed up 80's bubblegum performer. Less though went into the script for this movie than a WWE wrestling show. The only reason I waste my time rating it is so you won't have to sit thru it.
