'''''Jonny Quest''''' is a [[science fiction]]–[[adventure fiction|adventure]] [[media franchise]] created by [[Doug Wildey]] for [[Hanna-Barbera]]. It follows the character Jonny Quest, a young boy who joins his scientist father on various extraordinary adventures. The franchise started with a [[Jonny Quest (TV series)|1964–65 television series of the same name]], and has come to include two sequel television series, two television films and three video games. It is currently owned by [[Warner Bros.]] after Hanna-Barbera was absorbed by [[Warner Bros. Animation]] and succeeded by [[Cartoon Network Studios]].

==Original 1964-1965 show==

===Inspiration===

''Jonny Quest'' was designed to evoke both the drama of a dramatic adventure radio serial, and the fantasy of a comic book. Unlike earlier H-B programs, violence was not shied away from, but used to add suspense and impact to the show.

==Original series (1964–65)==

The show’s most notable inspiration comes from the classic old-time radio serial ''[[Jack Armstrong the All American Boy|Jack Armstrong]]''. In fact, Hanna-Barbera had originally intended to produce an animated adaptation of ''Jack Armstrong''. Hiring noted comic book artist Doug Wildey, H-B began negotiations with ''Jack Armstrong's'' copyright owners, and produced a test ''Jack Armstrong '' pilot in [[1962]]. Negotiations fell through, and the ''Jack Armstrong'' project was retooled into ''Jonny Quest'', an original series based on a similar idea. Scenes from the ''Jack Armstrong'' test film were incorporated into the ''Jonny Quest'' closing credits montage: they are the scenes of the red-haired boy and his father escaping from the [[African]] natives using a [[hovercraft]].

{{Main|Jonny Quest (TV series)}}

''Jonny Quest'', also known as ''The Adventures of Jonny Quest'', is the original American science fiction/adventure animated television series that started the franchise. It was produced by [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions]] for [[Screen Gems#Television subsidiary (1948–1974)|Screen Gems]]. It was created and designed by [[comic-book artist]] [[Doug Wildey]]. Inspired by [[radio serial]]s and comics in the action-adventure genre, including [[Doc Savage]], [[Tom Swift]], ''[[The Adventures of Tintin]]'' and ''[[Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy]]'', the series featured more realistic art, characters, and stories than Hanna-Barbera's previous [[cartoon]] programs. This show closely parallels the juvenile [[Rick Brant]] series. It was the first of several Hanna-Barbera action-based adventure shows, which would later include ''[[Space Ghost (TV series)|Space Ghost]]'', ''[[The Herculoids]]'', and ''[[Birdman and the Galaxy Trio]]'', and ran on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in primetime on early Friday nights for one season from 1964 to 1965.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}

Hanna-Barbera released an LP titled ''Jonny Quest in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' in 1965. It is a 29-minute radioplay with Dr. Quest, Race Bannon and Jonny, in a [[Jules Verne]]-inspired sea adventure.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.discogs.com/Various-Jonny-Quest-In-20000-Leagues-Under-The-Sea/release/735850 |title=Various - Jonny Quest in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea |website=www.discogs.com |date=1965 |access-date=June 5, 2021}}</ref>

Other acknowledged inspirations for ''Jonny Quest'' come from [[Milton Caniff]]’s adventure comic strip ''[[Terry and the Pirates]]'' (which was also a popular radio show), and the [[James Bond]] film ''[[Dr. No (film)|Dr. No]]'', which had inspired [[Joseph Barbera]] to develop an action-adventure program.

After two decades in reruns, during which it appeared on all three major United States television networks of the time, new episodes were produced for syndication in 1986. Subsequently, [[telefilm]]s, a comic-book series, and a modernized revival series, ''[[The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]'', were produced in the 1990s.

However, critics have also noted a very strong resemblance between Jonny Quest and [[Rick Brant]], teen star of a boy's adventure series published by [[Grossett & Dunlap]] from the 1940s to the 1960s (in the genre of ''[[The Hardy Boys]]'', ''[[Tom Swift, Jr.]]'', and others.). The ''[[Rick Brant|Rick Brant SCIENCE Adventures]]'' featured a likable teen hero, his science-researcher father, a tiny island installation, mystery stories oriented around science and technology, and such regular characters as a Race Bannon-like secret agent and a young Hadji-like pal, Chadha, from Calcutta. Nevertheless, the similarity between ''Rick Brant'' and ''Jonny Quest'' has never been officially acknowledged by Hanna-Barbera.

==''The New Adventures of Jonny Quest''==

===Characters, voice cast, and premise===

{{Main|The New Adventures of Jonny Quest}}

Jonny Quest is a ten- or eleven-year-old boy (there is some question about his exact age; it is never stated in any of the show's episodes), the son of Dr. Benton Quest, "one of the three top [[scientist]]s in the world," and apparently something of a [[Renaissance man]]; his scientific and technical know-how spans many fields. Mrs. Quest is presumed dead, possibly the victim of a plot against Dr. Quest, and mentioned only in the pilot episode ("Mystery of the Lizard Men").

By the mid-1980s, the edited episodes of ''Jonny Quest'' were part of the syndication package ''[[The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera]]''. Each episode was time-compressed and edited to reduce the runtime from 25 to 22 minutes. Edits focused on the comical scenes with Bandit. Thirteen episodes were produced in 1986 (some sources state 1987) to accompany the originals in the ''Funtastic World'' programming block. These episodes were referred to simply as ''Jonny Quest'' in their opening title sequence (the same ones seen on the original series since the censoring), and were noticeably less violent and more "kid-friendly" than the 1960s originals, and introduced the new regular character Hardrock, (also called the Monolith Man), a living being made of stone. Hardrock would not return in any later versions of the program.

Government fears that Jonny could "fall into the wrong hands" resulted in the assignment of a [[bodyguard]], Roger "Race" Bannon, from Intelligence One. Bannon guards and tutors Jonny and [[Hadji (character)|Hadji]] Hadji is Dr. Quest's adopted son. an eleven-year-old [[India]]n boy (his age ''was'' stated in one of the show's episodes, "Pirates from Below") who is seldom seen without his bejewelled [[turban]] and [[Nehru jacket]].

''[[Jonny's Golden Quest]]'', a feature-length [[television movie]] was produced by Hanna-Barbera for [[USA Network]] in 1993, again pitting the Quest team against Dr. Zin, who in the film murders Jonny's mother. ''Jonny's Golden Quest'' reused the storyline of the recent series' episode "Deadly Junket", in which a little girl named Jessie Bradshaw, the daughter of a missing scientist, asked the Quest party to help find her father. Here she is revealed to be lying about her parentage at Dr. Zin's behest, and to Race's surprise is actually his and Jade's daughter. Jessie would appear as a character in all subsequent versions of the ''Jonny Quest'' property. A second telefilm, ''[[Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber Insects|Jonny Quest versus The Cyber Insects]]'', was produced for [[TNT (American TV network)|TNT]] in 1995, and was promoted as being the final iteration of the "Classic ''Jonny Quest''".{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}

The Quests have a compound in the [[Florida Keys]], on the island of [[Palm Key]]), but their adventures take them all over the world. Jonny's pet, a small white [[french bulldog]] named Bandit, often provides [[comic relief]] although at least once ("Skull and Double Crossbones") he was instrumental in foiling the bad guys.

All three of these productions featured the voices of [[Don Messick]] and [[Granville Van Dusen]] as Dr. Quest and Race Bannon, respectively. Messick also reprised performing the "voice" of Bandit in the series, but the features had this done by [[Frank Welker]].

Dr. Quest travels the globe studying scientific mysteries, which get him into scrapes with foes that range from [[espionage]] [[robot]]s and [[electricity|electrical]] [[monster]]s to [[Egypt]]ian [[mummy|mummies]] and [[pterosaur]]s. Although most menaces were unique to the episode, one recurring nemesis is known as [[Dr. Zin]], an [[Asian]] mastermind. Race Bannon's mysterious old flame, Jezebel Jade, also occasionally appears.

[[Image:Jonny-quest-opening-title.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Quest team. Front row (left to right): Dr. Benton Quest and "Race" Bannon. Back row: Jonny Quest, Hadji, and Bandit.]]

[[Tim Matheson]] performed the [[voice actor|voice]] of Jonny. [[Mike Road]] was "Race" Bannon, [[Danny Bravo]] was Hadji, and Dr. Benton Quest was voiced by [[John Stephenson (actor)|John Stephenson]] for five episodes, and by [[Don Messick]] for the remainder of the shows. Messick also provided Bandit's vocal effects, which were combined with an archived clip of an actual dog's barking. The voices of Dr. Zin and other assorted characters were done by [[Vic Perrin]], who is best remembered as the "Control Voice" for the original ''[[The Outer Limits]]'' television series.

==''The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest''==

The memorable [[theme music]] for the 1960s series, a [[percussion instrument|percussion]]-heavy [[big band]] "spy [[jazz]]" piece with no lyrics, was written by [[Hoyt Curtin]]. The character Hadji was noted as the first major non-white character to be presented as an equal, sympathetic participant in the stories in American television.

{{Main|The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest}}

''The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest'' premiered on all three major [[Turner Broadcasting System]] entertainment cable channels ([[Cartoon Network]], [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]], and [[TNT (American TV network)|TNT]]). This Quest redux returned in the late 1990s on [[Cartoon Network]], as part of the original [[Toonami]] rotation when the block launched on March 17, 1997, and aired consistently on Toonami until September 24, 1999. It then continued to air sporadically until December 14, 2002. Almost seven years later (February 17, 2009), the first thirteen episodes of "season one" became available on DVD. Characters Jonny, Hadji, and Jessie are now older teenagers, and Dr. Quest's compound has moved from TK{{clarify|date=April 2024}} to a rocky island off the coast of Maine.

''Jonny Quest'' first aired on [[September 18]], [[1964]] on the ABC network, and was an almost instant success, both critically and ratings-wise. It was canceled after one season, not because of poor ratings, but because each episode of the show went over budget. Notably more realistic and detailed than previous Hanna-Barbera prime time programs such as ''[[The Flintstones]]'' and ''[[The Jetsons]]'', ''Jonny Quest'' required an attention to detail that ABC was unable to afford.

Rumors of a problem-laden production surrounded this series since 1992. When finally broadcast, it featured two different versions of its own Quest-ian universe: the first batch of episodes (referred to as the "season one" episodes) gave the team a futuristic look; while the second batch (referred to as "season two") harkened to original episodes from the 1960s. Several "season one" - and a few "season two" - adventures in this series took place in a cyberspace realm known as "[[Questworld]]", depicted using [[3D computer graphics|3-D]] [[computer animation]]. Both "seasons" aired during the same 1996–1997 television season. The show was canceled after 52 episodes (26 of each season), and plans for a live-action movie (to debut following the series premiere) never materialized.<ref name="brandweek2">{{cite magazine |last = Lefton |first = Terry |title = Turner Relaunches 'Quest' |date=June 19, 1995 |magazine = [[Brandweek]] |volume = 36 |issue = 25}}</ref>

Since its initial run on ABC, it has been shown in re-runs on NBC and CBS as well as various incarnations on cable, including [[Cartoon Network]]’s [[Boomerang (TV channel)|Boomerang]] channel. The "classic" series was released to [[DVD]] as ''Jonny Quest: The Complete First Season'' in [[2004]]. It should be noted, however, that this DVD set contained some minor editing of the episode "Pursuit of the Poho," as well as use of the same set of syndicated credits for all episodes.

===Comic Books===

A ''Jonny Quest'' comic book (a retelling of the first TV episode, Mystery of the Lizard Men) was published by [[Gold Key Comics]] in 1964. [[Comico Comics|Comico]] began publication of a Jonny Quest series in 1986, with the first issue featuring [[Doug Wildey]]'s artwork. The series ran for 31 issues, with 2 specials and 3 "classic" issues drawn by Wildey retelling three of the ''Quest'' TV episodes ("Shadow of the Condor", "Calcutta Adventure", and "Werewolf of the Timberland"). The series attracted Doug Wildey for several more covers, as well as [[Steve Rude]], [[Dave Stevens]] and other famous artists. The series also spun-off a 3-issue series named ''Jezebel Jade'' which told the story of Jade's relationship and adventures with Race Bannon.

Joe Kelly, who wrote a 2004 comic mini-series starring fellow Hanna-Barbera action property [[Space Ghost]] for [[DC Comics]], is set to write a similar series about Jonny Quest.

===Saturday morning reruns and controversy===

Reruns of the show were broadcast on various networks’ [[Saturday morning cartoon|Saturday morning]] lineups beginning in [[1967]]. On Saturday morning, ''Jonny Quest'' became one of the main targets of parental watchdog groups such as [[Action for Children's Television]] (ACT). With its multiple on-screen deaths, murder attempts, uses of firearms and deadly weapons, and tense moments, ''Jonny Quest'' was decried as the epitome of what was wrong with Saturday morning cartoons, regardless of the fact that it indeed was not an original Saturday morning cartoon. The reruns were taken off the air in [[1972]], but returned to Saturday morning, in edited form, periodically afterwards.

==1986 revival and telefilms==

[[Image:Jonny-quest-1980s.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Hadji, Jonny, and Dr. Quest in one of the [[1986]] episodes of ''Jonny Quest''.]]

By the mid-1980s, the edited episodes of ''Jonny Quest'' (each episode was missing about five minutes of footage edited for time constraints and content) were part of the syndication package ''[[The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera]]''. Thirteen new ''Jonny Quest'' episodes were produced in 1986 to accompany the originals in the ''Funtastic World'' programming block. These episodes (sometimes referred to as ''The New Adventures of Jonny Quest'', but referred to simply as ''Jonny Quest'' on their title cards) were noticeably less violent and more “kid-friendly” than the 1960s originals, and introduced the new characters Hardrock, an ancient man made of stone, and a young girl named Jessie Bradshaw, the daughter of a family friend, as a counterpart for Jonny. Hardrock did not return in any later versions of the program, without background alteration.

A feature length animated telefilm, ''[[Jonny's Golden Quest]]'', was produced by Hanna-Barbera for the [[USA Network]] in [[1993]], which again pitted the Quest team against Dr. Zin, who murders Jonny’s mother in the film. ''Jonny’s Golden Quest'' also [[retconned]] Jessie as Race’s young daughter, and she would appear as a character in all subsequent versions of the ''Jonny Quest'' property. A second telefilm, ''[[Jonny Quest vs. the Cyber Insects]],'' was produced for [[Turner Network Television|TNT]] in 1996, and was promoted as being the final iteration of the “Classic ''Jonny Quest''”. The original series, which had begun regularly on the [[Cartoon Network]] in [[1993]], was taken off the air in 1996 after a heavily promoted marathon, to make way for a new, revised ''Quest'' series.

==''The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest''==

[[Image:Real-jq-video.jpg|left|thumb|150px|The cover for a [[VHS]] collection of episodes from ''[[The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]''.]]

Dr. Zin never appeared or was mentioned in Season 1, the series instead focusing on new recurring villains Jeremiah Surd and Ezekiel Rage mostly. However, the creators felt this series failed to capture enough of the spirit of the original, so they brought Zin back<ref name=SMF>[https://books.google.com/books?id=NA7TxrK6FkcC Saturday morning fever], Timothy Burke, Kevin Burke pages 113–116</ref> (second-season, episode "Nemesis"), revealing himself very much alive to Quest, as he holds a NASA station hostage amid the launching of a new satellite.

The new ''Quest'' series, ''[[The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]'', premiered on all three major [[Turner Broadcasting]] entertainment networks ([[Cartoon Network]], [[TBS Superstation]], and [[Turner Network Television|TNT]]), and met with mixed ratings and reviews. The characters were aged, with Jonny, Hadji, and Jessie becoming teenagers, and Dr. Quest and Race entering middle age.

==Other media==

Production on the series had been problem-laden since [[1992]], and when it was finally broadcast, it featured two different versions of the ''Jonny Quest'' universe: the first batch of episodes (referred to as the “Season One” episodes) gave the Quest team a futuristic look, while the second batch (referred to as “Season Two”) harkened back to the original 1960s episodes. Several of the “Season One” adventures in this series took place in a cyberspace realm known as "[[Questworld]]", depicted using 3-D [[computer animation]]. Regardless of their labeling, both the “Season One” and “Season Two” of ''The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest'' aired during the 1996 – 1997 television season, and the show was canceled after 52 episodes (26 of each type).

===Feature film===

In the late 80s following his work on ''[[The Gate (1987 film)|The Gate]]'', [[Michael Nankin]] was hired to write a script for a big budget adaptation of ''Jonny Quest''.<ref name="TheGateCF">{{cite magazine |last=Kimber|first=Gary|date=June 1987|title= The Gate|url=https://archive.org/details/cinefantastique_1970-2002/Cinefantastique%20Vol%2017%20No%203-4%20%28June%201987%29/page/n14/mode/1up?view=theater|magazine=[[Cinefantastique]] |___location= |publisher= Fourth Castle Micromedia|access-date=April 27, 2025}}</ref>

In the early 1990s, Turner planned a "Year of ''Jonny Quest''" marketing campaign to feature a new television series, the release of classic episodes on VHS, the creation of two new animated movies in classic continuity (''[[Jonny's Golden Quest]]'' and ''[[Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber Insects|Jonny Quest versus The Cyber Insects]]''), and the production of a live-action film.<ref name="shulerdonner">{{cite news |last = Strauss |first = Bob |title = On the set, it's either her way of the highway – Shuler-Donner's insistence just a way to show she cares |date=July 30, 1995 |newspaper= Los Angeles Daily News}}</ref><ref name="peoria">{{cite news |last = Timm |first = Lori |title = Cue card> Lost on Quest for broad appeal |date=September 15, 1994 |newspaper = [[Peoria Journal Star]] |page= C1}}</ref><ref name="picayune">{{cite news |last = Carter |first = Tammi |title = Fine tuning |date=November 19, 1995 |newspaper = [[The Times-Picayune]] |page=T51}}</ref> Director [[Richard Donner]], producer [[Lauren Shuler Donner]], and [[Jane Rosenthal]] optioned the rights for the live action film, having expressed interest in the property soon after Turner's acquisition of Hanna-Barbera.<ref name="brandweek2" /><ref name="shulerdonner" /><ref name="sandonner" /> Slated to begin production in mid-1995 with a screenplay written by [[Fred Dekker]], and a screen test trailer video<ref>{{cite web|url= https://archive.org/details/copy_0E5DDA77-4CBC-4562-ADAA-967A4786C109| title= Jonny Quest 1995 Movie Screen Test|website=web.archive.org| date= September 1995|access-date=December 23, 2023}}</ref> was made as an audition for improving the interest but filming was pushed back to 1996 and ultimately never began.<ref name="sandonner">{{cite news |last = The Hollywood Reporter |author-link = The Hollywood Reporter |title = Live-Action 'Johnny Quest' in the Works |date=April 25, 1994 |newspaper = [[San Francisco Chronicle]] p.

''The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest'' was rerun in the late 1990s on [[Cartoon Network]], due to popular demand. The show was part of the original [[Toonami]] rotation when the block launched on [[March 17]], [[1997]] and aired consistently on Toonami until [[September 24]], [[1999]].

[[Zac Efron]] and [[Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson]] were reported in 2009 to have been cast as Jonny Quest and Race Bannon in an upcoming live action movie, respectively, according to a Moviehole.com interview with Johnson.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moviehole.net/200917762-the-rock-in-jonny-quest-movie|title=The Rock in Jonny Quest movie – Moviehole|website=www.moviehole.net|access-date=March 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171110005156/http://www.moviehole.net/200917762-the-rock-in-jonny-quest-movie|archive-date=November 10, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Cultural impact==

* Several elements of ''Jonny Quest'' have become parts of American pop culture. The original [[1960s]] series is notable as being representative of the [[Cold War]], with most of the villains being of Eastern [[Europe]]an or [[Asian]] origin. When said villains are defeated, they, more often than not, scream a heavily accented "Aiieee!" as they fall to their deaths, a scream that has been heavily parodied since {{Fact|date=February 2007}}.

In May 2015, it was announced that [[Robert Rodriguez]] would direct a live-action version from a script co-written by Rodriguez and [[Terry Rossio]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/jonny-quest-movie-robert-rodriguez-797743|title=Robert Rodriguez Trackling 'Jonny Quest' or Warner Bros |newspaper=The Hollywood Reporter|last=Kit|first=Borys|date=May 26, 2015}}</ref> Adrian Askarieh has stated to IGN that the film will be [[Indiana Jones]] meets [[James Bond]] with a PG rating.<ref>{{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zncx3AMvY1U |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/zncx3AMvY1U| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=Jonny Quest Movie Will Be "Indiana Jones Meets James Bond"|date=September 8, 2015|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/jonny-quest-movie-characters-and-rating-news/|title='Jonny Quest' Movie Characters and Likely Rating Confirmed by Producer Adrian Askarieh|website=Collider|last=Trumbore|first=Dave|date=August 17, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/adrian-askarieh-talks-hitman-agent-47-jonny-quest-and-more/|title=Producer Adrian Askarieh Talks 'Hitman: Agent 47' and 'Jonny Quest'|website=Collider|last=Weintraub|first=Steve|date=August 23, 2015}}</ref>

* In 1991, Hi-Tec Software published ''[[Jonny Quest in Doctor Zin's Underworld]]'', an officially licensed Jonny Quest platform game for the [[ZX Spectrum]], [[Amstrad CPC]] and [[Commodore 64]] home computers.

In July 2016, Forbes reported that the film would start a franchise with the script written by Rodriguez and Rossio and with either [[Joe Cornish]], [[Justin Lin]] or [[Scott Derrickson]] as director. The film will position Jonny as a "Harry Potter inside an Indiana Jones movie" and specifically set up the potential for spinoffs. The script also took inspiration from a few specific stories and elements in the original 1960s TV show. The site reported that the studio was considering actors [[Idris Elba]], [[Bradley Cooper]] and [[Will Smith]] for the role of Race Bannon.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2016/07/28/exclusive-jonny-quest-could-be-warners-next-big-franchise/|title=Exclusive: 'Jonny Quest' Could Be Warner's Next Big Franchise|work=Forbes|last=Hughes|first=Mark|date=July 29, 2016}}</ref>

* A speculated homosexual relationship between Dr. Quest and Race was the basis of the "Bannon Custody Battle" episode of [[Adult Swim]]'s ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]''. A later episode, "Return of Birdgirl", took the allusion further by dealing with Dr. Quest and Race trying to marry.

In November 2018, Warner Bros. announced that the movie would be directed by [[Chris McKay]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/jonny-quest-movie-director-chris-mckay/|title=Jonny Quest Movie Lands LEGO Batman Director Chris McKay|website=Screen Rant|last=Zinski|first=Dan|date=November 8, 2018|access-date=November 8, 2018}}</ref> In 2021, McKay said that a script for the film has been turned in, but the studio has yet to given the film the greenlight.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/chris-mckay-nightwing-renfield-johnny-quest|title=DIRECTOR CHRIS MCKAY TEASES HIS UPCOMING FILMS: DC'S NIGHTWING, LIVE ACTION JOHNNY QUEST, & RENFIELD|website=Syfy Wire|last=Weiss|first=Josh|date=June 29, 2021|access-date=July 15, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://collider.com/jonny-quest-movie-update-indiana-jones-chris-mckay-interview/|title='Jonny Quest' Movie Director Chris McKay Teases His Vision With an 'Indiana Jones' Comparison|work=Collider|last=Motamayor|first=Rafael|date=June 23, 2021|access-date=July 15, 2021}}</ref>

* In ''[[Channel Chasers]]'', an animated film featuring characters from the ''[[Fairly OddParents]]'' television series, [[Timmy Turner]] uses a magical remote control to go inside the "TV Universe," where all the shows seem to be parodies of real TV shows and meets characters such as Jonny Hunt (Jonny Quest).

===Comic books===

* In [[1994 in television|1994]], ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[Deep Space Homer]]" featured an astronaut named "Race Banyon" who is similar in appearance to Race Bannon except with dark hair instead of white.

A ''Jonny Quest'' comic book (a retelling of the first TV episode, "Mystery of the Lizard Men") was published by [[Gold Key Comics]] in 1964. ''Huckleberry Hound Weekly'' included original ''Jonny Quest'' stories from 1965-1967.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://classicjonnyquest.com/artifacts/pubs/comics/hhw/Default.aspx | title=Huckleberry Hound Weekly}}</ref>

[[Comico: The Comic Company|Comico]] began publication of a ''Jonny Quest'' series in 1986, with the first issue featuring [[Doug Wildey]]'s artwork. The series was written by [[William Messner-Loebs]] and ran for 31 issues, with 2 specials and 3 "classic" issues drawn by Wildey retelling ''Quest'' TV episodes ("Shadow of the Condor", "Calcutta Adventure", and "Werewolf of the Timberland"). Wildey drew several additional covers, as did [[Steve Rude]] and [[Dave Stevens]]. The series also spun off a 3-issue series named ''Jezebel Jade'' – drawn by [[Adam Kubert]] – which told the story of Jade's relationship and adventures with Race Bannon.

* Another notable ''Jonny Quest'' parody is the ''[[Freakazoid]]'' episode "Toby Danger in Doomsday Bet" ([[1995 in television|1995]]), a self-contained cartoon short featuring several members of the original voice cast. According to reports on the AOL Jonny Quest Forum from that period, "Toby Danger" was the catalyst in replacing the "Season One" creative team on ''Real Adventures of Jonny Quest'' with the "Season Two" team, who argued that Warner's parody was more faithful to the original show than H-B's own series.

Jonny and the gang (including Dr. Zin) returned to comic book form in May 2015 when they joined the Mystery Machine gang in DC Comics' 10th newsstand edition of ''[[Scooby-Doo Team-Up]]''.

* Several elements of [[Pixar]]’s ''[[The Incredibles]]'' ([[2004 in film|2004]]) animated feature film show direct inspiration from ''Jonny Quest'', particularly a one-eyed robot who terrorizes the populace the same way Dr. Zin’s one-eyed robot does in the [[1964 in television|1964]] episode “The Robot Spy.” Similarly in [[2003 in television|2003]], the ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' episode "[[Chicken Jack]]" also featured this type of robot.

In 2016, DC comics announced ''[[Future Quest]]'', a series featuring Jonny Quest and a variety of other Hanna-Barbera characters.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.ew.com/2016/01/28/dc-entertainment-hanna-barbera-titles|title=DC Entertainment announces new slate of Hanna-Barbera titles |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |author=Andrea Towers}}</ref> Jonny Quest has a crossover with [[Adam Strange]] in ''Adam Strange/Future Quest Annual'' #1 on March 29, 2017.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161213113333/http://www.newsarama.com/32329-suicide-squad-meets-the-banana-splits-more-in-dc-hanna-barbara-crossover-titles.html "SUICIDE SQUAD Meets THE BANANA SPLITS, More In DC/HANNA-BARBERA Crossover Titles"], Newsarama, 12 Dec 2016</ref>

* In [[2005 in television|2005]], Warner Brothers debuted a new action/adventure animation series about a boy named ''[[Johnny Test]]'', which is a pun on ''Jonny Quest''.

On October 13, 2023, it was announced a new ''Jonny Quest'' comic from [[Dynamite Entertainment]] is in the works.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://comicbookclublive.com/2023/10/12/thundercats-powerpuff-girls-warner-bros-comics-dynamite/|title=Thundercats, Powerpuff Girls Comics Coming from Dynamite|date=October 12, 2023}}</ref> The series released its preview issue on May 4, 2024 for [[Free Comic Book Day]], and it ran for five issues from August 14, 2024 to December 18, 2024. The series received generally positive reviews with an average critic score of 8.8/10 according to ''Comic Book Round Up''.<ref>{{citation|title=Jonny Quest (2024) Reviews|language=en|work=ComicBookRoundup.com|access-date=2025-08-17|url=https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/dynamite-entertainment/jonny-quest-(2024)|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250817165730/https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/dynamite-entertainment/jonny-quest-(2024)|archive-date=2025-08-17}}</ref> A sequel series, ''Space Ghost / Jonny Quest: Space Quest'', crosses over with ''[[Space Ghost]]'' and began release on May 7, 2025. It is also receiving generally positive reviews with an average critic score of 8.3/10 as of August 2025.<ref>{{citation|title=Space Ghost / Jonny Quest: Space Quest (2025) Reviews|language=en|work=ComicBookRoundup.com|access-date=2025-08-17|url=https://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/dynamite-entertainment/space-ghost--jonny-quest-space-quest-(2025)}}</ref>

*There is a [[Less Than Jake]] song, “Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts” [''sic''], from their [[1995 in music|1995]] ''[[Pezcore]]'' album. This song was based on a hometown fan who had the nickname of "Johnny Quest".

===Computer games===

* In the episode "[[Wishbones]]" of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', after Billy wishes for an adventure, he, his dad, and Irwin, are shown impersonating ''Jonny Quest'' characters while exploring a tomb. Billy is Jonny, Irwin is Hadji and Billy's dad is Dr. Benton.

In 1991, Hi-Tec Software published ''Jonny Quest in Doctor Zin's Underworld'', a licensed ''Jonny Quest'' platform game for the [[ZX Spectrum]], [[Amstrad CPC]], and [[Commodore 64]] home computers.

In 1993, Hollyware Entertainment published ''[[Jonny Quest: Curse of the Mayan Warriors]]'', a licensed DOS title available only on 3.5" floppy disk. The pre-release title was ''Jonny Quest and the Splinter of Heaven''.

* One episode of ''[[Evil Con Carne]]'' features a boy named Max Courage (a parody of Jonny Quest) and his father Dr. Courage (a parody of Dr. Quest).A parody of the theme music from the classical Jonny Quest series is played throughout the episode.

In 1996, Virgin Interactive published ''[[Jonny Quest: Cover-Up at Roswell]]'' for [[Windows 3.1]] and [[Windows 95]].

* ''[[The Venture Bros.]]'' heavily satirizes ''Jonny Quest''. The direct allegory has Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture as Dr. Benton Quest, his bodyguard Brock Samson as Race Bannon, and his sons Hank and Dean as the Quest boys (although the Hardy Boys are also a strong inspiration). However, flashbacks reveal that Rusty originally had a Jonny/Benton-esque relationship with his father, a truly talented and respected scientist, and present-day Rusty is actually portraying Jonny as a bitter, washed-up child star of super-science coasting on the fame of his late father. While writing the first season, the creators of the show realized that Cartoon Network owned ''Jonny Quest'' and they could use the actual characters in the show, vaguely connecting ''The Venture Bros.'' to a near-future date in the Quest "universe". The episode "Ice Station Impossible" had Race Bannon killed in combat with snakemen, and "Twenty Years to Midnight" features an adult Jonny as a strung-out drug addict living in the bathysphere from the original ''Jonny Quest'' episode "Pirates from Below", apparently living with a paranoid fear of his Father. Bannon's image was not nearly as tarnished - he was killed in official government action, only to be knocked out by a passing plane, his body and all its gadgets later to be found by a group of children. His Venture Bros. counterpart, Brock Samson, admitted to working with him a few times and referred to him as 'One of the Best'. In "Fallen Arches", Rusty excitedly unveils his new invention, the "walking eye"—a classic icon of ''Jonny Quest's'' bizarre future science—but has trouble coming up with any use for it (besides looking cool).

===Reception===

* In the [[2005 in film|2005]] film ''[[Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story]]'', [[Stewie Griffin|Stewie]] mentions that he had a job at the Quahog Airport. The following [[cutscene]] shows Stewie admitting Jonny and Dr. Benton Quest onboard the plane while Hadji was "randomly selected" for additional screening.

In January 2009, IGN named ''Jonny Quest'' as the 77th best in its "Top 100 Animated TV Shows".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/lists/top-100-animated-series/77 |title=77.

===Music===

* Hadji Singh appeared briefly in [[Greg Cox]]'s first book in his [[Eugenics Wars]] duo, at a conference held by [[Khan Noonien Singh]]. The cameo made an offhand reference to Benton.

[[Powerglove (band)|Powerglove]] covered the theme song to ''The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest'' on their album ''[[Saturday Morning Apocalypse]]''.

The [[Reverend Horton Heat]] performed a version of the ''Jonny Quest'' theme music (paired with the tune "Stop That Pigeon") on ''[[Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits]]'', which is a tribute album of songs from Saturday morning children's television shows and cartoons (mostly) from the 1960s and 1970s, released in 1995 by [[MCA Records|MCA]].<ref>{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r229385|label=''Saturday Morning: Cartoons Greatest Hits''}}</ref>

* [[Matt Fraction]]'s [[spy-fi]] comic book series ''[[Casanova (comic series)|Casanova]]'' features a genius villain going by the name of Sabine Seychelle, who works with a large Indian bodyguard named Samir; Fraction recounts his inpiration for them in the text column at the end of ''Casanova'' #4 that "I liked the idea of Johnny Quest, all adult and crooked. The son of an adventure scientist and his bePolo'd sidekick would grow up...how, exactly? Bent, I supposed. Weeeird. The kind of guy that would create phenomenal machines...and then sleep with them three at a time."

The music group "The Swingtips" recorded a version of the original ''Jonny Quest'' series theme for their 2007 album ''Roswell''.

==DVDParodies Releasesand homages==

The characters and setting of ''Jonny Quest'' have frequently been the subject of brief parodies, especially in later animated programs, some of which have aired on [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Adult Swim]] late-night programming block. [[WarnerMedia]] owns both Cartoon Network and the rights to the entire Hanna-Barbera library, including ''Jonny Quest''. In addition, there have been several substantial references to the show:

On [[May 11]], [[2004]], [[Warner Home Video]] released the first season of ''Jonny Quest'' on DVD in Region 1 for the very first time. It is unknown if the second season (1980's episodes) will be released at some point.

* Dr. Benton Quest appears in a cameo role during the end-credit sequence of ''[[Scoob!]]''

{| class="wikitable"

* In ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' TV movie "Channel Chasers", ''Jonny Quest'' is parodied as ''Jonny Hunt''.

!Cover Art

* The cast from ''Quest'' can be seen on several episodes of ''[[Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated]]''. There are several episodes that bring in several characters such as Race and Dr. Quest, also making use of some ''Quest'' settings.

!DVD Name

* Adult Swim's ''[[The Venture Bros.]]'' features characters who are satirical analogues of the ''Jonny Quest'' cast: Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture, his bodyguard Brock Samson, and his sons Hank and Dean. Flashbacks reveal that Rusty is himself the son of a Benton Quest analog, now coasting on the fame of his late father. During the first season, the creators of the show realized that Cartoon Network's parent owned ''Jonny Quest'' and began using the actual characters, including Jonny as a paranoid drug addict severely damaged by the constant danger his father put him in, Race Bannon as a government intelligence operative, and Hadji as a hard-working competent engineer for Rusty's successful brother Jonas Jr. Starting with the third season, the ''Jonny Quest'' characters were renamed: Jonny was renamed "Action Johnny", Race Bannon was referred to as "Red" and Dr. Zin was called "Dr. Z". There was no in-show explanation for the change.

!Ep #

* Adult Swim's ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]'' features the cast in several bizarre parody episodes. In "Bannon Custody Battle", Bannon and Dr. Quest fight for custody of Jonny and Hadji, and in "Return of Birdgirl", Bannon and Dr. Quest apply for a [[same-sex marriage]]. Other episodes featured the Lizard Men from "Mystery of the Lizard Men", the mummy from "Curse of Anubis", a yeti from "Monsters in the Monastery", a gargoyle from "The House of the Seven Gargoyles", the robotic spider from "The Robot Spy", and others.

!Release Date

* Jonny Quest, Hadji, and Dr. Benton Quest appeared in ''[[Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story]]'' a ''[[Family Guy]]'' direct-to-video movie.

!Additional Information

* An eight-minute parody appeared in 1995 on the animated series ''[[Freakazoid!|Freakazoid]]'', under the title "Toby Danger", featuring the voices of Scott Menville, Don Messick (in his last role before he died), and Granville Van Dusen (all of whom provided voices for the original series). It was written by Tom Minton as a twelve-minute stand-alone short for ''[[Animaniacs]]'', but edited by director Eric Radomski to fit into the available ''Freakazoid!'' time slot.

* Jonny Quest appears in the background in a ''[[South Park]]'' made-for-TV movie called "[[Imaginationland: The Movie|Imaginationland]]".

* [[Matt Fraction]]'s [[spy-fi (neologism)|spy-fi]] comic book series ''[[Casanova (comics)|Casanova]]'' features a genius villain going by the name of Sabine Seychelle, who works with a large Indian bodyguard named Samir. Fraction describes his inspiration in the text column at the end of ''Casanova'' No. 4: "I liked the idea of Jonny Quest, all adult and crooked. The son of an adventure scientist and his bePolo'd sidekick would grow up...how, exactly? Bent, I supposed. Weeeird. The kind of guy that would create phenomenal machines...and then sleep with them three at a time".

* In the [[Less Than Jake]] song "Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts", Johnny Quest is the name of a disgruntled fan accusing the band of selling out to corporations, which would jeopardize their [[ska]] influence and result in their records and concert ticket prices [[Price gouging|increasing]]. The idea for the song came from a friend of member Chris DeMakes who went by the nickname "Johnny Quest" frivolously writing down "Less Than Jake are sellouts" in his office.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.waste.org/~ltj/FAQ.html |title=less Than Jake, the FAQ |access-date=2018-09-20}}</ref>

* Brazilian [[pop rock]] band [[Jota Quest]] is named after the series. Originally, they performed under the name ''J. Quest'', but to avoid legal conflict with Hanna-Barbera, the ''J.'' was expanded to ''Jota'' (the Portuguese name for the letter ''J'') from their second album onward.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jotaquest.com.br |title=Jota Quest web site |publisher=Jotaquest.com.br |access-date=2010-08-26}}</ref>

* The Indianapolis-based punk band [[Racebannon]] takes its name from the ''Jonny Quest'' character.

* Clips from the show are also shown on the television the Parrs watch in the 2018 film ''[[Incredibles 2]]''.
