What's a better way to start a new month than with the announcement of a new Hanna-Barbera title coming from the Warner Archive? Announced just last night, September 30th will see a Blu-Ray double feature release of two Jonny Quest movies: Jonny's Golden Quest and Jonny vs. the Cyber Insects.
For those who don't know or don't remember, these were TV movies that acted as the finale for the classic era of Jonny Quest, shortly before The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest took the franchise in a new direction when it premiered in 1996. Golden Quest premiered on the USA channel in 1993, while Cyber Insects debuted on TNT in 1995. This is the first time either title has been available on Blu-Ray, though Warner Archive did release both on DVD back in 2011. No special features are included with the release, which is a shame, but not exactly shocking, either.
As someone who remembers watching these when I was younger but nothing about the films themselves, I'm rather excited for this release. You don't see much discussion for these movies when people talk about the later incarnations of Quest, so I'm curious to see how they stack up against those. The September release date is also appropriate, considering that month will mark sixty years since the original series debut.
