Oh I loved this movie! I don't recall whether or not I ever watched the series, but I wore this tape out. I was so fascinated with all of the futuristic utopia they lived in. I wanted to live just like them. Fall in love with a rock star like Judy and eat a tablet that tasted like an entire meal like George! I wanted a robot housekeeper and a talking dog like Astro. I used to always pretend I lived in Orbit City. On more than one occasion I was scolded for eating butter tablets at restaurants. Haha. I would unwrap it, put it on my tongue, and swallow it whole just like George Jetson. Then I would tell everyone what my "meal" tasted like. Such a good movie and I have so many great memories tied to it. I still have an old VHS copy but I think it's time to invest in a DVD copy for my Zane. Here are some pictures and interesting facts about the movie. Enjoy!
Judy Jetson's voice was done by Janet Waldo in the series and she had also recorded for the movie, but then executives decided to replace her with pop star, Tiffany, in hope of attracting a younger audience.
The voices of George Jetson and Mr. Spacely were done by George O'Hanlan and Mel Blanc who both passed away during the production of the film. The film was dedicated to them.
Robert Rodriguez has said that he has been working on a live-action remake of The Jetsons for awhile now and it is rumored to come out in 2012. As far as I've been able to find, there has not been any details mentioned about the plot or casting. I'm anxious to find out more! I'll be thrilled to take Z to see it!
