1* ChannelHop: The original ''Jonny Quest'' aired on Creator/{{ABC}}, while the 1986 reboot aired in first-run syndication; this telefilm was co-produced by and aired on the Creator/USANetwork (likely because the project had been planned prior to Turner's buyout of H-B, and the ''USA Cartoon Express'' had rerun ''Quest'' episodes prior to Creator/CartoonNetwork's launch).
2* LateExportForYou: The telefilm premiered on Japan's Cartoon Network in 2002, nine years after its American release.
3* TheOtherDarrin:
4** Creator/JeffreyTambor voices Dr. Zin instead of Vic Perrin, who succumbed to cancer in 1989.
5** Will Nipper takes over for Creator/ScottMenville as the titular Jonny Quest.
6* RoleReprise: Creator/DonMessick (in his second-to-last time in the role), Creator/RobPaulsen and Granville Van Dusen reprise their respective roles of Dr. Benton Quest (and Bandit), Hadji Singh and Race Bannon for the first time since ''The New Adventures'' ended in 1987.
7* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A very odd example here. This film is one of the only two survivors of a follow up set of films to the late 80s ''Superstars 10'' projects. It was conceived and planned before the Turner buyout. The idea of exploring more of Jonny's mother seemed like a good idea, and it would not have been that long since [[WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfJonnyQuest the 80s series]] ended. So it may have been intended to tie things up in a good way. The problem, of course, being with the Turner buyout, all projects that weren't already financed were put on hold. The result: the film wasn't written for several more years, and the idea of rebooting ''Quest'' was already in the pipeline (and would eventually surface as ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures''), so this film had to cannibalize an 80s episode, and ended up having little in common with either the old shows ''or'' the new series that came after.
