If you look at this as some other adventure cartoon, OK. Try to visualize it as part of the Johnny Quest world? Nah. First, the fake Race Bannon accent. They made him sound like he's from some backwoods hills and he seems amateurish at best. The original Race Bannon could think on his feet and wasn't a smart ass all the time. This one goes to the police first, then doesn't know what to do or acts like an over testosterone G.I. Johnny acts immature not responsible like the original. The animation comes off as cheap. Hadji seems to be the only one who is still wise from the original. Episodes poorly written. A cartoon like Johnny Quest deserves better and more professional treatment. The 80's episodes reboot succeeded where this set should have never been approved. I do like the idea of Race Bannon's daughter joining the team, but it's a shame that this set of cartoons was used to expand her character. Boo to the producer John Eng and the others for not staying true to the original concept that made Johnny Quest a favorite among the fans. I can only hope the movie planned stays true and not try to make Johnny Quest something it's not like this garbage did. With all the "professionals" involved with this, I'm very surprised it isn't of caliber quality and writing.
