History WesternAnimation / JetsonsTheMovie

The plot of ''Jetsons: The Movie'' basically involves George Jetson uprooting his family to take a job on Mr. Spacely's new [[AsteroidMiners asteroid mining colony]], where the mining plant seems to keep malfunctioning. Meanwhile, the two Jetson kids have their own subplots. Judy is heartbroken over having lost her terrestrial musician boyfriend Cosmic Cosmo, but soon replaces him with her new extraterrestrial musician boyfriend Apollo Blue. Elroy develops a rivalry and then a friendship with a RobotKid named Teddy-2.

Her gender gets another confirmation at the end when Astro hands her back to her parents, saying "Here she is!" [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Rosie after Bertie explains his daughter's gender: "How can ya tell?"

* ZeerustCanon: Being made in 1990, this movie is loaded with 1980's pop culture, from music to hairstyles, yet it's still set in the same 1960's RaygunGothic future, which sometimes gives a weird combination.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Apollo Blue and the Furbalow family.

''Jetsons: The Movie'' reunited nearly all of the original cast members save for '80s pop starlet Tiffany voicing Judy Jetson thanks to ExecutiveMeddling and Patric Zimmerman taking over for the late Creator/DawsButler as Elroy. The film also marked the last performance ever of noted voice artist MelBlanc (Mr. Spacely), who was still recording while in the hospital (as he had years before then), as well as George O' Hanlon (George), who by that point had to have the lines read and acted to him before recording (both passed away before completing the film and sound-alike Creator/JeffBergman filled in the few remaining scenes). The film was dedicated in memory of both men. And although she lived until 2003, Penny Singleton (Jane) also ended her acting career with this movie. Meanwhile, prolific Hollywood composer Music/JohnDebney made his feature debut here.

TheMovie of ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'', naturally enough. It was released in 1990, following the 1980s revival of the series, and [[BoxOfficeBomb bombed at the box office]], [[FranchiseKiller killing the franchise for the next twenty-seven years]]. The franchise was ultimately revived with ''The Jetsons & {{Wrestling/WWE}}: Robo-Wrestlemania'' in 2017.

* MissingTrailerScene: The trailer includes a shot of Mr. Spacely throwing himself on his desk and having a tantrum, apparently just after Rudy-2 signed off. This shot is not in the final film.

* FutureSlang: As always, Judy is an ever-reliable source of it. ("This is orbital!")

* GreenAesop: A very popular message in early '90s animation, of course. ''Jetsons: The Movie'' came out of the same period as ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'', ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder'', ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'', and ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest''. The ''Jetsons'' version delivers its environmentalist message with all the subtlety of those other examples.

* TrailerSpoof: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nuo5QfemCE official trailer]] starts off pretending to be a trailer for the next ''Franchise/StarTrek'' film, with StreamingStars set to music that [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong resembles]] the ''Star Trek'' soundtrack while a voice-over says, "Twenty-five years ago, they brought us a startling vision of the future." Note that the next ''Trek'' film, ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'', was released to coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of ''Star Trek'' whereas it would take a lot of rounding to make ''The Jetsons'' twenty-five years old in 1990.
