What happens

Jetsons: The Movie is a 1990 American animated science fiction comedy film based on the animated television series The Jetsons, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film was directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera from a screenplay by Dennis Marks and stars the voices of George O'Hanlon and Mel Blanc, as well as Tiffany in her feature film debut as Judy Jetson and Brad Garrett in his animated film debut. Penny Singleton and Don Messick also reprised their roles in the film. The story follows George Jetson, who is tasked with running a new Spacely Sprockets facility by his boss Cosmo Spacely. However, after he brings his family along to support him, they uncover the tragic truth of the facility's location. The film was released on July 6, 1990. It grossed $20.3 million on a budget of $8 million during its theatrical run, though it received mostly unfavorable reviews. O'Hanlon and Blanc died during production of the film, which was dedicated to both their memories. Jetsons: The Movie was the last theatrical film to be directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera before their deaths in 2001 and 2006 respectively. It serves as the series finale to the television series, as no episodes were produced following the film's release. While the characters would make subsequent appearances in other media over the years, this film was also the final official Jetsons production until the direct to video release of The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania! in 2017. Although Warner Bros. Discovery owns the rights to the majority of the Hanna-Barbera library, including most of The Jetsons media, the distribution rights to this film are still owned by Universal Pictures.
