Trivia:

Janet Waldo, voice artist and the original voice of Judy Jetson, recorded the part for this film but was later replaced by then-pop starlet Tiffany. Studio executives hoped Tiffany would attract a younger audience. Ms. Waldo continued (somewhat graciously) to voice the part in subsequent 'Jetsons' productions.

Quotes:

Mr. Spaceley: [to Rudy 2] Where's Jetson, and why is the plant shut down?
Rudy 2: It's the middle of the night, sir.
Mr. Spaceley: Machines don't sleep. Start it up! Every second lost means money lost. And money lost means I scream *a lot*!

I've seen the future and it is good!

I loved the Jetson family as I grew up. I wanted to see the movie, but I wish that Janet Waldo could have stayed as Judy. I wasn't used to Tiffany. Mr. Spacely's up to his usual conniving best, and Jane is cute as ever. The plot was interesting. See this movie! I also recommend "The Jetsons meet the Flintstones."
