Warner Brothers recently released the Jonny's Golden Quest / Jonny Quest vs. The Cyber-Insects Blu-ray. Let's take a look at it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

Nearly 30 years after the landmark animated series was brought to prime-time television by Hanna-Barbera, the continued popularity of Johnny Quest led the studio to create two new feature-length adventures. In Jonny's Golden Quest (1993), long-time Quest fans get to meet the women behind the adventurous men. Joining scientist Benton Quest, his plucky son Jonny, bodyguard Race Bannon and Jonny's young friend Hadji are Benton's biologist wife Rachel, Race's ex-wife Jade and young 12-year-old Jessie. In Jonny Quest vs.The Cyber Insects (1995), the evil Dr. Zin has genetically modified household pests into disturbingly large insects that he calls assassinoids, fearless and devoted warriors that will conduct his plan for world domination. Team Quest, headed by internationally respected scientist Benton Quest, is Earth's only hope. When the good doctor becomes Zin's captive, the stakes -- and the action quotient -- grow higher. Enter Jonny Quest, Dr. Quest's bright, excitable, imaginative and heroic young son, ex-special agent Race Bannon, Jonny's child genius friends Hadji and Jessie (Race's daughter), their robotic pal 4-DAC and bulldog Bandit to complete the job of vermin extermination before it's too late.

None of the DVDs have any special features, and the picture quality on the Blu-ray is fantastic, so that is the RECOMMENDED release.
