Jonny's Golden Quest (1993)
In the first feature-length animated movie based on the Hanna-Barbera series, Jonny Quest fans get to meet the women behind the adventurous men.

Throughout, Team Quest battles the evil schemes of modern-day alchemist Dr. Zin, who has cloned himself and created an army of mutant reptiles in the Peruvian rain forest. The clash there results in a tragedy that changes Jonny's life forever - and later leads to a worldwide pursuit of Zin that includes examining rare Leonardo da Vinci documents in Paris, exploring the Roman catacombs and a final confrontation in the Australian outback.

Just perfect...
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
To most that remember Johnny Quest, the family was just full of men....Always. It was always Johnny, Dr. Benton Quest, and Race. Then came Hadji and of course we cannot forget Bandit. Well this retelling of the family Quest shows us Johnny's mother for the first time and then sets up the story of how she is taken away from the team forever. Dr Quests eternal foe and "cold war" analog Dr. Zin makes a bold and high tech appearance here that is voiced perfectly by Jeffrey Tambor. Overall its a cool venue for those that came late to experience Johnny Quest of the 60's but for those that grew up in a time when the original was new, it may be a little hard to swallow. Whatever your taste, this is a nice middle of the road story and beats the pants of its direct sequel: Johnny and the Cyberinsects.
