Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber Insects
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber Insects is a 1995 telefilm by TNT and Hanna-Barbera. Released on November 19, 1995, it was the final iteration of classic Quest. The film was made as part of a "Year of Jonny Quest" campaign with The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.[1][2][3] The film helped calm certain fans' criticisms of Jessie's introduction to the team of Real Adventures. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution declared Jessie to be "no 'icky girl'...Not only does she save Jonny's life when disturbingly large fire ants attack, but she also teaches him patience."[4] A test screening of Cyber Insects to 30-35 year old males revealed that though some questioned her addition, most "understood that just like the [original] series, [the update] is a reflection of its times."[4] Jonny's original voice actor, Tim Matheson, returned as the voice of 4-DAC. When the movie began, the alternate title was called Jonny's Global Impact.
