Judy Jetsons et les rockers

Coming from somebody who grew up on Hanna-Barbera and still loves most of their output, 'The Jetsons' is still very hard not to like. It still is funny, charming and has an intriguing premise that it makes great use of.

'Rockin' With Judy Jetson' is good nostalgic fun. It is one of the better films in the "Hanna-Barbera Superstar 10" series, a series of a collection of specials/films made during the late 80s featuring Hanna-Barbera stars like Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons and Huckleberry Hound. None of them are great or masterpieces, but none are bad, 'Yogi's Great Escape' is perhaps the weakest (found the Scooby Doo films better than reputed though still problematic) but was still an average effort.

Sure, 'Rockin' With Judy Jetson' is not in the same league as the show, none of the films in the "Superstar 10" series based on these characters are. It is however still very charming and entertaining and has an appealing nostalgic element. Jane has very little to do, which is a shame, and not everything in the story comes together quite as it should, with a few logic lapses and not quite making sense. Personally thought that although reasonably pleasant the songs were on the forgettable side, at least though they weren't pointless.

On the other hand, the animation is well above average, pretty good actually and one of the better-looking films in the "Superstars 10" series. The imaginative setting and intriguing premise helps, while the colours are vibrant and the backgrounds meticulously detailed. The characters are not too rough-looking either. The soundtrack has some groovy moments.

Luckily, 'Rockin' With Judy Jetson' has enough amusing moments to satisfy and a lot of it is irresistibly charming, with some nice conflict that doesn't muddle the story. The pace is bright and breezy, the story is appealing mostly and other than the under-using of Jane all the characters make a positive impression.

As do the terrific voice cast who do justice to their characters with aplomb. The messaging is also very admirable.

In summary, charming, entertaining and nostalgic. Worth catching. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This movie featuring the last time for the Jetsons original cast was okay. I'm glad Judy's idol this time was voiced by Rob Paulsen. He is one of my favorite voice actors. I'm glad he is still alive as of today. Moreover, I'm glad how he voiced Raphael in most of the episodes of the 1987 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I love all the songs that were sung by Judy, her friends, and even Sky Rocker himself. However, I didn't really like the part where Sky introduced himself to Judy's dad, George and how George got angry with him along with accusing him of trying to run off with Judy. This was all because George being the overprotective parent that he really is, he totally thought that he was going to lose his daughter with Sky because he just had to hear and believe rumors of romance between Sky and Judy. However, I did like at the end that they all got together and foiled Felonia Funk's evil plan to destroy all the music in the universe. Moreover, I liked how they all got together for one last concert with Sky Rocker now as his real ego, Billy Booster on Zooma Zooma. Moreover, Zippy Zoomy, that little female alien was very cute. I'm glad how she got together with Judy and hugged her. They were real cute and adorable together.

The film is great for kids. I still like it even now that I am older. All of the songs are great and it is just a happy memory from my childhood with the lovable characters. It also shows the power of accomplishing anything if you believe in it enough. And also not to listen to rumors, they are probably not true.
