Evolution of THE JETSONS - 60 Years Explained | CARTOON EVOLUTION

Ойын-сауық

CARTOON EVOLUTION #30
On their 60th anniversary Meet the Jetsons!
I take a look at the history and evolution of George, Jane, Judy, Elroy, and Astro Jetson - the ‘60s-era family of the future created by mega-producers William Hanna and Joe Barbera following the insane popularity of The Flintstones. With only 24 episodes in its original series, The Jetsons would never gain the popularity and longevity of its ‘counterpart’ series, with only a small handful of revivals following in its path. The series - spawning during the American Space Age craze - would, however, do its part in changing the future -enormously impacting the contemporary way of life in our real-world 21st Century.
In 2022, The Jetsons celebrates 60 years, and to help them, I will trace their entire evolution, from 1962 to now. To do so, we will look at the franchise’s entire history,
I take a look at how the show and characters have evolved over 60 years, touching on their various changes and influences over six decades of series, specials and feature films, in this edition of Cartoon Evolution.
I discuss the most important changes in their depictions, and in the stylistic and narrative structures of their productions prevalent across 6 decades of series, specials and movies.
Here's my look at The Jetsons through the years!!

    Now that we are in the 21st Century, yes this might seem like "Retro Futurism." But THE JETSONS was set in 2062. So who knows? Even though films exploring the possibilities of the future such as METROPOLIS and THINGS TO COME were produced 90 years ago, their fantasy works, and in amazing ways did predict some things that have come to be. And THE JETSONS did that, too.

    Both are futurism, one of a tech advanced society as shown in the Jetsons compared to a low to even no tech post apocalyptic society living with mutated, forced evolved and genetically modified animals from the tech advanced world that lived and destroyed itself leaving what appears to be a prehistoric society. Hence the sentience and ability for human speech displayed by the animal life.

    The Jetsons were built as an optmistic look at the future, but in the 90's movie and the DC comics, their future is revealed to be a dystopian one. I don't know if that says more about how our view of the future changed, or the style of writing changed or just the genre itself. But one thing I know, were the Jetsons to return, they would be very different from their first incarnation.

    I think the idea of a dark dystopian future started with films like Logan’s Run and Blade Runner, the only movie that comes to mind that has a positive future was definitely the future of 2015 in Back to the Future II. And after watching this video on The Jetsons, it’s almost similar to The Jetsons’ depiction of the future. Bright and colorful, clear skies and they had flying cars, maybe the team of Back to the Future probably enjoyed the series growing up but I’m probably spitballing here.

    I love that the philosophy of The Jetsons can be boiled down to something Lord Helmet said in Spaceballs, and I think it rings true to reality as well. "Even in the future, nothing works." And honestly, as much as I love the Flintstones, this is why I think the Jetsons is a smarter series. There's a thin patina of a technological Utopia hiding an over-reliance on technology, and spotty technology at that. The Jetsons are clearly middle lower middle working class and often they can only afford the cheapest version of tech. That's why they have Rosie. She was a discounted model.

    @@JL4GL That's the problem with technology. No matter how advanced something gets, you're bound by cost, so you have to make due with the cheapest model, which often breaks down. George constantly begging for a raise to fix something seems to be a recurring theme, and I think that adds a level of depth to the show. It may look like a futuristic Utopia, but it's still a consumerist rat race.

    Ah, HB cartoons are neat. With the animation style, even if it was limited, I found the expressions usually rather pleasing and friendly. Even when they slightly changed stuff for the 90s, I still think such are pretty cool. I mostly remember the The Jetsons show through their crossover with The Flintstones. Other than that, the retro futurism that we find in a bunch of older animations and some movies has a funny vintage look to it that is rather entertaining. Lots of antennas, saturn rings and amusing boomerang shapes everywhere. What has been as usual be my favourite are the cartoon sounds that added to the wackiness of such shows. The stories take a bit of a step back and I'd rather enjoy the array of funny gizmos and gadgets that the people get to use. Not perhaps the biggest show that HB made but still a show worth checking out, I think.

I do wish it went deeper and originally it was going to with this other movie The Jetsons & Flintstones meet the Roman Holidays with the 2 families meeting this other Hanna Barbera family based in a Modern Ancient Rome time. That show (The Roman Holidays) came out in 1972 and only lasted one season with 13 episodes. But that project of course was cancelled.

    The Jetsons seem to be one of those properties that's always been more "iconic" than successful. Everyone knows the characters, but none of their appearances were ever a really big hit with audiences or critics. I have to figure the association with the Flintstones has a lot to do with why there's still interest in reviving the Jetsons, while other HB characters of the time have largely faded into obscurity.

    @@AJTate-bs6li There's no point in it. It's been tried and as always, with the originators having passed away, you do not have the same sensibilities and insight coming from the current generation working in the industry. Anything they would attempt would be a strained effort to duplicate the original which would be fruitless. And when others have tried to update or make their own interpretations, these have also failed due to comparisons to the originals. This is why it is best to leave those icons as they were and create original works which contemporary artists understand.

    I find that a bit of a stretch. The technology in the show was based on things that were already happening, and these ideas also existed elsewhere. We got flat screen TVs because we already had TVs and wanted them to not weigh 10 000 pounds. The internet was already an idea being developed. Video calling was already an idea in sci-fi, as were robots. What you're suggesting is similar to what people say about word and acronym origins (like how SOS means "save our souls"), but all of that is pure nonsense and just people not understanding the course of development and just trying to confirm their own weird ideas and misunderstandings.

John K. was not a fan of The Jetsons growing up so his takes on the characters were not from a loving place.

    That was real dirty of Hanna-Barbera to replace Janet Waldo as Judy after she had recorded all her lines. Tiffany had no business being given the complete character. She should have been kept to just providing the singing voice only. What HB did was wrong on every level. They sacrificed the last opportunity audiences had to hear the original voice of Judy along with the other surviving cast members. They allowed the movie to be highjacked and used as a vehicle for a flash in the pan teen pop star who did not have a future after her 15 mins of fame ran out. In respect to Janet Waldo a version of the film with her voice track put in place of Tiffany's needs to be released or included as an alternative option in the bonus features of a bluray release. Hopefully, her voice track for the film still exists and was not disposed of.

    Oddly in the UK when l spoke of _The Jetsons_ at School, as a child, nobody else had heard of it; then years later in the pub noone had heard of it either. This is surprising when in the UK we grew up on US culture with Westerns and Star Trek etc etc Was this a Mandela effect 🤔 Then suddenly it took off and l hear of it from all quarters now. It was my favourite cartoon. Loved all the noises of the cars lifts etc. The styling reminded me of Jensen (Swedish) car design.

    Another great cartoon evolution! I knew The Jetsons Movie didn't do well but I didn't know it was scorned THAT much. I really like the Jetsons Movie, tbh. It definitely has flaws; the CG looks too plastic and dated even in 1990, the story gets a little muddled, and Tiffany ain't no Janet Waldo... But I do like the fuller animation, the stakes being higher than your average Jetsons story, the scope and environment is much larger and reaches the potential of the Jetsons idea better than the 60s show ever did, and even in the last year of their lives, Mel Blanc and George O'Hanlon are terrific as Mr. Spacely and George respectively. I think the Jetsons Movie deserves a little more love, and definitely a watch for those who haven't seen it!
