    I always thought that the Jetsons should have a movie, a live action movie, really, but this was pretty good anyway. It's an entertaining kids movie.

    It's got a great new 3-D shaded look, but it seemed like the same old Jetsons story-wise.

    Jetsons: The Movie is a harmless animated picture the entire family can watch without worrying about corrupting the younger kids. The animation is solid for 1989 (watch for some early uses of CGI) and it has the occasional chuckle. It may ooze with nostalgia for audiences who g... read morerew up with the original cartoon, but there's something off about this version. As with many things in the 1980s (Star Trek IV, for example), Jetsons: The Movie centers itself on protecting the ecosystem and why capitalism is bad, though not in those terms exactly. The messages are heavy-handed when the movie gets around to them; the other main attraction here is Tiffany as Judy Jetson, a supporting character who gets more screentime than her by-the-numbers subplot demands. A bad movie? No, not at all. A bit dull and lacking the oomph which says the events will be a game changer in the Jetsons universe. At least the film is actually a film and not three television episodes strung together.

    This movie is just decent, it's not as good as the show and it's too musical. But still, at least they didn't make a live action movie.

    I am sure that somewhere along the line I watched this. I know that the Jetsons were a big part of my childhood.

    i prefer the jetsons when they switch places with the flintstones...but i suppose this is alright too.

    I remember seeing this one in the theatres. It's probably not good enough to be watched all the time by the adults who grew up watching it but at least it's good enough for them to watch it again with their kids.

    Holy shit! I have this movie on VHS. I used to watch it over and over and over again How can you not love the Jetsons?!?!

    A popular Hannah Barbara cartoon is made into a cartoon movie in this new chapter of George Jetson, but approaching the real 21st century, the creators had to add that it was late in the 21st century onto it, and they miscast a celebrity singer as the daughter merely to cash in a... read morend make more money, and the star?s career tanked soon after

The film isn't any more fascinating than the television cartoon series that inspired it. It's only longer. Full Review

Though by no means a great animated feature, Jetsons does offer unqualified family entertainment, and it even includes a socially responsive message. Full Review

Time Out

Top-notch computer graphics, star voices and a gaggle of gadgets cannot disguise the fact that this family of the future is stuck firmly in 1962. Full Review

In the end the children have learned that capitalism is all about spoiling the ecosystem and exploiting workers. This sure makes them want to grow up to become entrepreneurs and build healthy business... Full Review

The Jetsons have hardly moved into the '90s, much less the 21st century. Full Review
