History Trivia / TheJetsons

* EditedForSyndication: When the original series was syndicated in the 80's, some episodes had scenes that were cut out for more commercial time or [[ValuesDissonance suggestive content deemed inappropriate for the modern era]] and the LaughTrack removed. These prints ended up being the ones shown on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Boomerang}} when the networks aired the series. The DVD release, however, has the series uncut, except for the [[Main/ColdOpening Cold Openings]], and with the laugh track retained, except on "A Date with Jet Screamer".

* NamesTheSame: In Latin America, George was [[DubNameChange renamed]] Super Sonico, not to confuse with [[Anime/SuperSonico A cheerful, hard working idol singer with the same name]].

* On certain episodes of the 80's series, ''Creator/JohnKricfalusi'' was the animation director or layout supervisor. Hallmarks of his style would become more apparent, in his later original creation, ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''.

* CastingGag:
** Creator/TressMacNeille and Frank Welker as Rosie and Astro is this given that they're also the current voices of Wilma Flintstone and Scooby Doo, characters that were also previously voiced by Jean Vander Pyl and Don Messick.
** Creator/GreyDeLisle-Griffin voices Jane, who's pretty much Daphne if she was older, right down to having a similar design.
** The Mexican Spanish dub is a very interesting case: Jane (or rather "Ultra Sonico") is voiced by Creator/MarianaOrtiz, who is the daughter of the late Creator/AraceliDeLeon, who voiced her in the Mexican dub of the 80s series, albeit it's not [[Anime/DragonBallKai the first time she has voiced a character previously voiced by her late mother before]].

** Grey DeLisle Griffin voices Jane, who's pretty much Daphne if she was older, right down to having a similar design.

* PlayingGertrude: We have an interesting case with Jane. She's voiced by Grey DeLisle Griffin (who was born in 1973), which makes her two years older than Judy's voice actress, Danica McKellar (who was born in 1975). However, Grey is one year younger than Elroy's voice actor, Trevor Devall (born in 1972), and 13 years younger than Creator/JeffBergman (voice of George and Mr. Spacely, who was born in 1960).

** Brandon Vietti once again works with Grey DeLisle Griffin, Frank Welker, and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, and voice director Collette Sunderman, just like on ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheWWECurseOfTheSpeedDemon'' .

!Trivia for TheMovie:

* ActingForTwo:
** Jeff Bergman provided the remaining dialogue for Mr. Spacely ''and'' George.
** Frank Welker voices ''all'' of the Grungies
* AuthorExistenceFailure: ''Jetsons: The Movie'' marked the final performances of Creator/MelBlanc and George O'Hanlon before their deaths while the film was in production. O'Hanlon actually died ''in the recording studio'' mere minutes after recording his last few lines.
* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, Unknown. Box office, $20,305,841. Salvaged by home video sales.
* CrossdressingVoices: Teddy-2 was done by the late Dana Hill.
* TheDanza: Besides George O'Hanlon as George Jetson, D.J. Rick Dees has a small role as "Rocket Rick", who is also a D.J.
* ExecutiveMeddling: After recording all of her dialogue for Judy Jetson, Universal Studios threw out Janet Waldo's performance and [[StuntCasting replaced her with 80s pop star Tiffany]], who was currently under contract by the studio's record label MCA. Waldo was not told until the premiere and was understandably pissed, but ultimately held no ill-will towards anyone over it. George O'Hanlon and Creator/MelBlanc were similarly livid and demanded that Waldo be re-cast, to no avail. Creator/AndreaRomano was so offended that [[AlanSmithee she demanded her name be removed from the credits]].
* FranchiseKiller: Eventually subverted. Coming on the heels of the 1980s ''Jetsons'' revival (the new syndicated episodes and two TV movies), this film's disappointing box office and harsh critical reviews were apparently enough to send the franchise back into hibernation. It has stayed there ever since, a potential live-action film being stuck in DevelopmentHell for years notwithstanding. In 2015, both an animated theatrical film and direct to video crossover were announced by WB. The latter has a 2017 release date.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Thanks to rights issues (Universal owned the movie outright while Hanna-Barbera still controlled the ''Jetsons'' property), the movie didn't get a DVD release until 2009. Before then, only the occasional pay-television airings and the VHS release were the legal means of watching the movie.
* TheOtherDarrin: Pretty much everybody except Jane, Rosie, and Astro. Creator/DawsButler (Elroy) died a year before the movie started production, so he was replaced by Patric Zimmerman. Creator/MelBlanc (Mr. Spacely) and George O'Hanlon (George) died ''during'' production, so the few unrecorded lines they had left were done by Jeff Bergman. And most infamously, Tiffany replacing Janet Waldo (Judy) after the latter had already recorded all her lines for the film.
** The Latin American Spanish dub of the 80s series got it ''worse'' in the film: Not only the entire Mexican cast was replaced, the whole movie was dubbed by Intersound, Inc. in Los Angeles, with an awful reception in Latin America.
** Basically, almost every foreign dub has changed voice actors between the 60s, 80s and movie versions, mainly due to the time gap between them.
** The Japanese dub is a downplayed example of this, at least with the dub voice of Mr. Spacely: He was voiced by the late Creator/IchiroNagai in both the 60s and 80s versions. In the movie, he was voiced by Kosei Tomita instead.
* StuntCasting: The aforementioned example of [[TheEighties '80s]] pop starlet Tiffany as Judy Jetson. Ironically, her popularity had nosedived [[AnimationLeadTime by the time the film was released]].

** Brandon Vietti once again works with Grey DeLisle Griffin, Frank Welker, and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, and voice director Collette Sunderman, just like on ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWWECurseOfTheSpeedDemon'' .

** From ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' , the film has Frank Welker, Will Friedle, Tania Gunadi, and Kevin Michael Richardson working together again.

* ActingForTwo: Jeff Bergman voices both George Jetson and Mr. Spacely.

* PlayingGertrude: We have an interesting case with Jane. She's voiced by Grey DeLisle Griffin (who was born in 1973), which makes her two years older than Judy's voice actress, Danica McKellar (who was born in 1975).

* RoleReprisal: To an extent; Jeff Bergman fills in for George and Mr. Spacely entirely after voicing them for a couple lines in the previous movie.[[note]] Jeff Bergman had in fact took over as the characters for many minor works such as the Spumco shorts and various commercials prior to this, but this was his first prominent role[[/note]]

* ActingForTwo: Jeff Bergman provided the remaining dialogue for Mr. Spacely ''and'' George.

** Brandon Vietti once again works with Grey DeLisle Griffin, Frank Welker, and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, and voice director Collette Sunderman, just like on ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWweCurseOfTheSpeedDemon'' .

* AuthorExistenceFailure: ''Jetsons: The Movie'' marked the final performances of Creator/MelBlanc and George O'Hanlon before their deaths while the film was in production. O'Hanlaon actually died ''in the recording studio'' mere minutes after recording his last few lines.

** The Japanese dub is a downplayed example of this, at least with the dub voice of Mr. Spacely: He was voiced by the late Creator/IchiroNagai in both the 60s and 80s versions, and curiously enough, he was voiced by Creator/YosukeAkimoto in the movie, this is especially relevant because he was also the dub voice of [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Mr. Slate]], his {{Expy}}, in the very original TV series.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: ''Jetsons: The Movie'' marked the final performances of Creator/MelBlanc and George O'Hanlon before their deaths while the film was in production.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Janet Waldo had already recorded her lines as Judy Jetson only to get bounced from the movie in favor of late 1980s pop star Tiffany, as MCA (Universal's then-parent company and Tiffany's then-record label) wanted to use the film to promote one of their artists. Waldo has said she found out shortly after the decision was made, and it was highly publicized. She was pretty upset at first, but has admitted it's become a non-issue, and doesn't hold any ill-will against anybody, not even Tiffany. On the other hand, George O'Hanlon and Creator/MelBlanc were both very angry about the StuntCasting, and they demanded that Waldo be reinstated, to no avail.
** The StuntCasting led to voice director Creator/AndreaRomano demanding her name be removed from the credits in protest.

** Brandon Vietti once again works with Grey DeLisle Griffin, Frank Welker, and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, and voice director Collette Sunderman, just like on ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo&WWECurseOfTheSpeedDemon'' .
