I’ve never seen the show but I love some of Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as “Flintstones” and “Scooby-Doo” but movies based on the cartoons tend to be severely underwhelming. “Jetsons: The Movie” won’t be fun for adults or kids because it so incredibly dull animated film and I didn’t like it one bit.

From what I can gather, the Jetsons are a futuristic Flintstones family so instantly the joke about primitive technology from “Flintstones” is destroyed. George Jetson receives a raise so he moves his whole family to asteroid where he’ll be in charge of a mining operation. Something’s going wrong because the machines keep going faulty, can you stay awake long enough to find out what it is.

All the cast from the original series seem to be here if you were worried you’re were getting cheap sound-alikes replacing them. George Jetson is one of the blandest tv fathers I’ve ever seen, maybe he needs tips from Fred Flintstone or Homer Simpson. The characters’ voices irritated me to no end and it gets even worse when they commence singing. The animation on the characters stay pretty faithful to the old-school Hanna-Barbera style so I guess that’s good but then there’s one music number where it turns into an art-house sort-of thing.

“Jetsons: The Movie” is a short film but it feels very long; I felt like I could have watched “Pulp Fiction” or “The Godfather” in the time it took me to watch this. “Jetsons: The Movie” is obnoxious and that perhaps is its greatest flaw because it some movies seem to try and be keeping themselves to themselves but not this one. It’s unspeakably dull, full of stupid songs and not remotely entertaining for anybody, at all. I feel a lot for anybody who is forced to sit through “Jetsons: The Movie”.
