The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!

Big Show insists on getting to the big match and flies a small plane during a snow storm. He ends up crashing and freezing. It's 100 years into the future. George Jetson gets a surprise new project instead of getting fired. He accidentally discovers the frozen Big Show.

The animation looks more 90's than the original 60's. Warner Bros Animation and WWE Studios have been doing these mash-ups. This has potential for some great fish-out-of-water humor. It is not the worst idea. I do like the robot fighting idea, but this needs to built up to that. Big Show should spend more time trying to fit into the future world and failing. The movie gets less interesting when it time-travels back to present day. They could have done more especially with the robot maid during that time. They should have just kidnapped Sheamus and quickly get back to the future. I do love doing the theme music again which is still the most memorable part of The Jetsons. They really shouldn't bring so many wrestlers into the future.

When I first heard that Warner Brothers were doing a WWE crossover with The Jetsons, I thought that it was a stupid idea and I was against it. But one day, after the movie came out, I decided to sit down and watch it. Boy...was I ever wrong about this movie. I actually enjoyed this movie and had fun watching it. Like with Jetsons The Movie from 1990, this movie was really fun and enjoyable. It wasn't without it's flaws and it may not be a masterpiece but it is a crossover done right. The story was decent, the voice acting was great, the animation was great and a step up from the 1990 movie and the humor was good. There was a lot of funny moments in this movie. It was really good to see The Jetsons again. While this crossover wasn't wanted or needed but as a Jetsons fan, I welcome it and actually love this crossover. It's a better crossover than the Tom and Jerry crossover with Willy Wonka. If you are a Jetsons fan, Hanna-Barbera Fan or a WWE fan, I would check it this out.

The latest installment in Warner Brothers series of animated films featuring the wrestlers of the WWE meeting the classic characters of Hanna-Barbera, previous entries featured the musclebound entertainer/athletes meeting Scooby-Doo (twice!) and The Flintstones.

Wrestlers in animation is nothing new, in the 1980s, "Hulk Hogan's Rock N' Wrestling" featured an animated Hulkster and his team of "faces" getting into wacky misadventures and outsmarting the tricks and schemes of the "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and his gang of evil "heels".

"The Jetsons" are an interesting choice to do a crossover with. Despite being featured in various commercials, appearing in web cartoons produced by John Kricfalusi, and parodied on shows like "Family Guy" and "Harvey Birdman". They have not been seen in full- length feature since their 1990 theatrical feature "Jetsons: The Movie", which had a less than stellar box-office performance.

Seeing the Jetsons on a new adventure is kind of refreshing, even if the plot is really ridiculous (hey wasn't the original?).

The plot is like this: The Big Show is flying a plane in a snowstorm on his way to his next match with Sheamus, when his plane goes down. Cut to Orbit City, 100 years in the future, Mr. Spaceley puts George Jetson in charge of a drilling project on the now-abandoned surface of the Earth, when he discovers Big Show frozen in ice. George thaws out the giant wrestler and takes him home. Big Show is fascinated by the high-tech future, even the WWE is still around and run by Vince McMoonmahon, but they use robots instead of humans to do the fighting and humans aren't allowed to fight. This upsets Big Show and he goes to check it out. He fights the robots and seizes control of them for himself and proceeds to take over the world. George knows this mess his fault, but thanks to plot convenience, Elroy has invented time travel and Judy is studying the 21st century is history class. The family proceeds to go back to the past (our time) and gets Vince McMahon, Sheamus, and several other wrestlers to help them save the future from Big Show and the robo-wrestlers.

The animation is quite good, I liked the character designs of the wrestlers and they fit well with the established. The animation looks very similar to the revived 80s series and the movie (along with many other Hanna-Barbara productions of the period), not to mention it us uses many of those classic H-B sound effects. I also liked Tess McNallie as Rosie and McMahon mentioning "meeting another talking dog" upon meeting Astro.

"Robo-Wrestlemania" is not a masterpiece, but it's not the worst thing, either!
