SUSPENDED ANIMATION #235<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\"\"\n

\n

My great love for the original Hanna-Barbera Jonny Quest<\/em> series is no secret. However, there were thirteen episodes that most animation fans seem to forget – but I did research on them for the first (and only) issue of the magazine Korkis and Cawley\u2019s Cartoon Quarterly<\/em> published in 1988. <\/p>\n

\"\"Here is some of that information about a series that featured contributions from Frank Brunner, Will Meugniot, Larry Houston, Ric Estrada, Iwao Takamoto, Jim Stenstrum, Michael Swanigan, Eric Chu, Mel Keefer, Mike Vosburg, Bruce Zick, and many others.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Hanna-Barbera considered many requests to revive their 1964 Jonny Quest<\/em> series. With the success of the hour and a half Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera<\/em> in the syndication market, H-B decided to expand the program to two hours but needed a half hour adventure segment.<\/p>\n

It was decided to produce thirteen new episodes of Jonny Quest<\/em> to be shown with the original twenty-six and if the show proved popular, then another twenty-six new episodes would be produced to reach the magic syndication number of sixty-five episodes. That didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"The new thirteen that premiered September 1986 featured some significant changes. Only two of the original voice artists returned to the series. Don Messick did the voices of Dr. Benton Quest and Bandit as he had done in the original series. Vic Perrin returned as the voice of the evil Dr. Zin.<\/p>\n

Jonny\u2019s voice was now done by Scott Menville, Hadji\u2019s voice by Rob Paulsen and Race Bannon\u2019s voice by Granville Van Duesen. The new episodes featured additional voice work by Roger C. Carmel, Les Tremayne, Dick Gautier, Rene Auberjonois, Darryl Hickman, B.J. Ward, Keye Luke, George Takei, Frank Welker and Ed Begley Jr. among others.<\/p>\n

The preliminary press information suggested that a new recurring character (Jessie Bradshaw, the red-headed daughter of a famous scientist, voiced by Georgi Irene) would be joining the team as a counterpart to Jonny but she only appeared in one episode. In The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest<\/em>, Bannon was the father of a red-headed girl nicknamed Jessie who was Jonny\u2019s age who appeared in all the episodes.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Jessie Bradshaw<\/p><\/div>Five of the new episodes featured an ancient rock-warrior named Hardrok (voiced by Jeffrey Tambor) providing the team with the extreme physical strength it needed for seemingly impossible tasks. The idea of the character was mocked by a golem in the \u201cRock of Ages\u201d episode of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

The new episodes only ran twenty-two minutes instead of the original\u2019s twenty-six which were trimmed time-wise to fit the format of the new show as well as remove some violence that was no longer acceptable. <\/p>\n

The new episodes also featured a greater reliance on \u201cfantasy\u201d weapons rather than actual guns. The Quests\u2019 giant airplane was redesigned into a flying craft called the Questor One which had a detachable reconnaissance craft named the Questor Two. <\/p>\n

On April 8, 2014, Warner Archive as part of its Manufacture-on-Demand program released Jonny Quest- The Complete Eighties Adventures<\/em> on DVD in region 1.<\/p>\n
