3	''The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-[=WrestleMania=]!'' is a 2017 DirectToVideo animated film, a co-production between Warner Brothers Animation and Creator/WWEStudios. This is the fourth crossover movie between WWE and Hanna-Barbera cartoons (The company had two with ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' and one with ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''). It's also the first official ''[[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Jetsons]]'' production since the BoxOfficeBomb that was ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'' in 1990.

9	Now the Jetsons and the past WWE superstars must work together to free the city from Big Show's grasp.

12
13	!!This work contains examples of:
14
15	* AdaptationalDiversity: The original show, while it did have people of color crop up from time to time, featured a cast who was overwhelmingly white. This film shows a much more racially diverse future.
16	* AllPartOfTheShow: In both ways. The audience, Wrestling/MichaelCole, Wrestling/SethRollins and Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} believe that George Jetson is part of the match while George's family (who don't understand what pro wrestling is) believes that George is convincing the wrestlers to join them.
17	* AnimationBump: While not in the same level as the theatrical movie, the animation in this is really good. Given the advancement in technology, it would've looked much better either way.
18	* BadassCape: Big Show wears a green one once he takes over Orbit City. He removes it during his match against Sheamus.
19	* BadassDriver: George when attacked by robots, [[MundaneMadeAwesome switches to manual]] to create a diversion.
20	* BadFuture: When the Jetsons return to their time period, they find out that Big Show has taken over Orbit City.
21	* BigDamnMovie: While a more comedic entry than the 1990 movie, the future is enslaved, there's time travel, there are multiple action scenes, and it actively deconstructs the "humans rely too much on technology" setting.
22	* BlahBlahBlah: When Seth sarcastically starts bringing up how George is from the future, Jimmy makes this motion.
23	* BrickJoke: During the trip to the future, Alicia Fox promises to get Seth Rollins after the latter doesn't shut up. After Rollins starts boasting on how beat the Kane bot, Alicia Fox comes in with a drop kick out of nowhere stating, "Told you I'd get you."
24	* CallingYourAttacks: Reigns shouts "Superman Punch!" before clobbering his robot double.
25	* CastingGag:
26	** Creator/TressMacNeille and Creator/FrankWelker 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.
27	** Creator/GreyDeLisle-Griffin voices Jane, who's pretty much Daphne if she was older, right down to having a similar design.
28	** 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/DragonBallZKai the first time she has voiced a character previously voiced by her late mother before]].
29	* TheCavalry: George rallying all of the Orbit City citizens to surround Big Show in the climax.
30	* CerebusRetcon: The original show made a lot of jokes about how hard manual labor is and how easy life in the future is. Here, the joke is deconstructed, and shows the consequences of relying too much on technology and future life.
31	* ChekhovsGun:
32	** Elroy's science project, a time travel equation, to go back in time to get wrestlers to stop Big Show.
33	** Judy lamenting on how 21st century history would be so important.
34	** The capsules shown in the intro of the movie: they're used to carry the wrestlers forward and backward in time.
35	* ContinuityNod: When the Jetsons are brought to Mr. [=McMahon=]'s office, the wrestlers are all shocked that Astro can talk. Mr. [=McMahon=] can only say, "Would you believe this isn't [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery the first time I've met]] [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo a talking dog?]]"
36	** Given how Sheamus is looking in shock at Astro speaking, this probably takes place prior to ''Curse of the Speed Demon'' since Sheamus is shown there.
37	* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: If Big Show just ''waited'' until the storm died down like Vince warned him to, this entire plot would never have happened.
38	* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Jane is livid about George missing Elroy's science fair, but he comes home unaware that anything is wrong. Seeing her angry, he thinks he forgot a special occasion (i.e. their anniversary, Valentine's Day, her birthday) and these guesses just make her even angrier. It gets to the point where Rosie expects him to get kicked out of the apartment.
39	* EasilyForgiven: Actually [[AvertedTrope averted]]. After Big Show apologizes at the end for his actions, the people of Orbit City point out that he still enslaved them and forced him to build giant statues of himself.
40	* {{Egopolis}}: What Big Show turns Orbit City into.
41	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: After George finds a frozen Big Show, he thinks that Mr. Spacely will like the surprise...and then remembers that he promised Mr. Spacely that there would be "no surprises".
42	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Big Show is in shock upon waking up in the future, likewise the Jetsons are confused when they go back to the 21st century.
43	* FiveSecondForeshadowing: After George explains what's going on, Sheamus states that George's story is the craziest thing he's ever heard. Then, Astro starts talking...
44	* FunWithAcronyms: In the 22nd Century, WWE is now '''W'''orld '''W'''robot '''E'''ntertainment (The second W is silent)
45	* GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity:
46	** Subverted at the start of the movie, where George starts badmouthing the boss and Spacely suddenly angrily yelling at him. However, Spacely shouts "hired" instead for the special project, though George expected the worst.
47	--->'''Spacely:''' [[LampshadeHanging Okay, maybe that was a confusing way of phrasing this.]]
48	** Later, as things go wrong, Spacely does try to fire him, but George simply cuts out the visiphone before he can say it. By the end of it, though, George has helped save the day, so Spacely lets him off the hook and even hires him as supervisor for the reconstruction project.
49	* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The security guard who lets the Jetsons into the WWE Arena of the past might be this; while Judy and Jane disguising themselves as Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch is passable, there is ''no freaking way'' in hell that he can assume Elroy is ''Roman Reigns'' or Astro is ''Kane''. He does note that George's outfit ("Future Guy") is odd.
50	** Scenes later, he finally realizes his mistake and drags the Jetsons into Vince's office.
51	* HumanPopsicle: Big Show's fate has him like this until George thaws him out centuries later.
52	* IdenticalGrandson: Vince's descendant, Mr. [=McMoon=], is essentially Vince in a space suit.
53	* InstantlyProvenWrong: After hearing George's story about Big Show taking over a future city, he mutters that it's the craziest thing he's ever heard. Then a security guard carrying Astro arrives...
54	* IronicEcho: Big Show, upon seeing how he dominates the robotic wrestlers, states that the future is full of wimps. George later echoes this statement after no one decides to join him to stop said wrestler.
55	-->'''George:''' Guess Big Show was right -- the future really is full of wimps.
56	* JerkassHasAPoint: George tells Elroy that the boy is at fault for everything going wrong with Big Show taking over Orbit City, much to his wife and Astro's disgust. But George isn't wrong; Elroy ''did'' sneak out with Big Show without warning everyone.
57	* JobStealingRobot: In the Jetsons' future, all WWE wrestlers have been replaced by robots.
58	* LampshadeHanging: George lampshades Sheamus's pasty skin by stating how he's "a little on the pale side."
59	* LetMeGetThisStraight: Vince and George Jetson, summarizing what's happened in the movie so far.
60	-->'''Vince:''' Now let me get this straight...You found Big Show "frozen" in ice in the future.\
61	'''George:''' Yes.\
62	'''Vince:''' You thawed him out...and he took over your city.\
63	'''George:''' Yes.\
64	'''Vince:''' And you've come back in time to take my superstars to the future to save -- what was it -- Onion Town?\
65	'''George:''' Orbit City. And yes.
66	* LogoJoke: The movie begins with a recreation of the 1974 "Rainbow H-B" Hanna-Barbera logo that looks almost identical to the original (the "H-B" text is not slanted in this version).
67	* MythologyGag: The spacesuit George wears early on in the film gives him a resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/TheAtomAntShow Atom Ant]].
68	* NeverMyFault: George gladly lets Elroy accept the blame for Wrestling/BigShow's rampage when the latter says [[ItsAllMyFault it's all his fault]]. Jane and Astro are quick to call the former out on this though. [[JerkassHasAPoint In George's defense]], Elroy ''did'' take Big Show away without telling anyone about it, but it is still a dick move to make his son feel horrible for such an innocent gesture.
69	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Coupled with ItsAllMyFault, but Elroy's innocently showing The Big Show what wrestling is like in the future ends up ''badly''. You could also say George thawing Big Show and bringing him back home could also count.
70	* OhCrap: Played for laughs in the past when George realizes the state of technology means the family will actually have to ''walk''.
71	* PaperThinDisguise: To get inside the arena once they make it in the past, the Jetsons disguise themselves as wrestlers. Judy and Jane get away as Charlotte and Becky Lynch (Due to their similar hair colors), but then we have Elroy as Roman Reigns, Astro as ''Kane'' and George ends up dressed as a wrestler that his wife and daughter name "Future Guy".
72	* ProWrestlingIsReal: When The Jetsons enter the past, they assume that the wrestling show is real as opposed to what it really is.
73	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Upon hearing of George having his spaceship and robot, Vince wants to go see them instead of dismissing it as hogwash. Earlier in the movie, he cancels the championship match between Sheamus and Big Show due to the bad weather, not that it stops Big Show from traveling in the storm and causing the plot to happen.
74	* SarcasmBlind: George is oblivious to Seth's sarcastic remarks to show he and the other superstars his "flying car" and "pet robot" because George actually has ''both'' of them in the parking lot.
75	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: As things really start going wrong, George says it's time for a family vacation ''on Mars''.
76	* SeenItAll: Vince doesn't even bat an eyelid upon seeing Astro talk. Instead, he only replies, "Would you believe that this isn't the ''first'' time I've met a talking dog?"
77	* ShownTheirWork: The depiction of the wrestler's moves, such as Sheamus' White Noise and Alicia's corkscrew legdrop, is rather well done.
78	* SkewedPriorities: Judy is ecstatic about Big Show's takeover because it meant school ended early and that she didn't have to take a history test. Elroy lampshades it, which gets him a bonk on the head from Judy.
79	* SoProudOfYou: When Elroy explains why he considers this situation his fault, George says it's not, but he commends him for trying to befriend a lost soul.
80	* StrongFleshWeakSteel:
81	** Big Show easily destroys the two robots in Orbit City's WWE and establishes himself as not only the champion but essentially the king of Orbit City.
82	** When the wrestlers go after the robots, the wrestlers curb-stomp their robo doubles without a sweat (Barring Rollins running away from Kane-bot)
83	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
84	** Vince has to cancel the championship match between Sheamus and Big Show due to the weather.
85	** George Jetson interfering with the match between Seth Rollins and Sheamus has him escorted out of the ring. In fact, the guard gets suspicious of his outfit as "Future Guy" and even has his family--who were also in disguise--hauled to the office.
86	** George tries to rally everyone with a RousingSpeech and when that doesn't work, bend the bars of the jail cell he's in in half (which of course he can't do). Even after help from Rosie, George still isn't getting anyone on his side...immediately, that is.
87	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Seth Rollins and Alicia Fox's interactions are like Miz and Paige's in ''Speed Demon''.
88	* TaughtByExperience: As Mr. Spacely lets loose with [[GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity his most famous phrase]], George turns off the visiphone and [[BlatantLies insists there's no way to know where that sentence was going]].
89	* TemptingFate: Judy questions how 21st century history is gonna be important in the beginning of the movie. Answer? Very important indeed.
90	* ThemeTuneRollCall: As custom for the Jetsons, the opening credits play against a chorus signing each Jetson's name. When George prepares some 21st century wrestlers to go to the future, the chorus also rolls off their names.
91	* TookALevelInJerkass: George subverts this trope. While he is more cowardly and prone to NeverMyFault moments than he was in the show and the previous movie, it's more of Big Show's intimidating personality causing him to get overly stressed out and not think straight. Plus, he's still shown to deeply care for his family.
92	* TronLines: George's "Future Guy" wrestling gear has cyan lines.
93	* TheUnreveal: The winner of Sheamus vs Big Show is never revealed, especially since the match ends with "The winner and champion is..." rather than putting "Still" or "New" in front of champion.
94	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Elroy brings Big Show to his school for Show and Tell without telling George about it, which spirals out into Big Show learning the state of wrestling in the 22nd century and then leading to all around chaos. Elroy himself lampshades that this entire situation was his fault.
95	* VillainHasAPoint: When George tries to rally the other prisoners into facing Big Show, no one volunteers. He shames them by saying Big Show was right about them being wimps.
96	* VocalEvolution: Creator/JeffBergman's voices for George Jetson and Mr. Spacely are respectively higher and lower (albeit not too much) than when he first started in 1990. It's justified in that he's voicing the characters for a full movie instead of a few scenes. Plus, he has more material to work with than with commercials or shorts, giving him room to stretch his vocal chords.
97	** Show's voice sounds rougher and deeper than usual. His robot counterpart sounds more like he usually does.
98	* WhenThingsSpinScienceHappens: Elroy's time-travel equation basically has the Jetson spin around the moon a couple of times.
