Summary
By the mid-1980s, the edited episodes of the original Jonny Quest series (each episode was missing about five minutes of footage edited for time constraints and content) were part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. Thirteen episodes were produced in 1986 to accompany the originals in the Funtastic World programming block. These episodes were referred to simply as Jonny Quest on their title cards, and were noticeably less violent and more “kid-friendly” than the 1960s originals. This series was followed by two TV-movies, Jonny's Golden QuestJonny's Golden Quest
