Jonny Quest (2010)

Not much on it other than this;

Studio: Warner Brothers

Jonny Quest: Zac Efron

Efron starred in High School Musical I/II/III for Disney and is also expected to star in Mandalay Pictures 2012 live adaptation of Full Metal Panic!

What's up, Doc? A live action Jonny Quest? Hmm. I have such fond memories of the original animated Jonny from when I was a kid. What a cool theme! My problem these days with re-makes of any movie or tv show is that with all of this computer generated special effects they get carried away and we get overloaded with biff-bang-pow-zam!!! I've seen this most recently in the previews for the new Star Trek movie. I just wish that the film makers would throttle back somewhat, but then they are under pressure from the studios to have all kinds of bells and whistles.

I actually know a man named Race Bannon. He was named after the cartoon character. Apparently, his mother and father were big fans of the show when their son was born, and since Bannon was the family surname, "Race" seemed like the perfect choice for his given name.

I loved the 1960's era Johnny Quest.....it was edgy for it's day!

I can still conjure a mental image of condors as they were depicted on the old Johnny Quest cartoon. I don't recall the plot -- but somebody involved in producing the show loved those big birds.

My roommate and I used to watch Johnny Quest reruns on Saturday mornings during my freshman year of college -- 1978-79. Ah, the memories...

Yes.....and I was always jealous that he had such a cool name!
