In the meantime, please keep sharing artwork with me and other tidbits you may have on Quest, and when next I can, I will share them on the blog.<br /><br />And if you download the doc, and choose to share it or burn to DVD and send it to friends, or whatever you chose to do with it, please remember a very simple request from the programs creators:<br /><br />Again, I am not the author of this documentary, though many folks mistake me for the creators. They are in actuality, two gents and die-hard classic Quest fans who have asked to remain anonymous, but allowed me to post their work, first on YouTube (which censors several chapters that have clips from other TV shows in them) and then finally here in this blog.<br /><br />It was created for a one-time screening at a 50<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">th</span></span> birthday party, if you can believe that. The documentary took over a year to research and create, so it was one hell of a birthday gift -- and is another testament to just how loved and memorable this show was and is to so many of us from that generation.<br /><br />The only request they have about sharing the doc with other Quest fans, is that while they want it shared, they want no one, under any circumstances to copy it and then sell it to other parties.<br /><br />They are offering it not only for the delight of other Quest fans like themselves, but in the spirit that generosity and sharing changes the complexion of the world, deed by little deed.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kxO1C3bN_As/TnOAokHDCOI/AAAAAAAAAjc/8pMGgyadtts/s1600/jq_jonny_cp_big.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kxO1C3bN_As/TnOAokHDCOI/AAAAAAAAAjc/8pMGgyadtts/s320/jq_jonny_cp_big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653003391656462562" border="0" /></a><br />Best always,<br /><br />ChrisChris Webberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13756488140141457133noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266574837722868223.post-90057247060092741402011-07-11T16:01:00.001-07:002011-07-13T10:05:46.571-07:00The Monster in your Monastery<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vGxuwXEBtQA/Th2_cbIJI8I/AAAAAAAAAh8/BHGQPlcUCn8/s1600/3432474928_df867b140a_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 114px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vGxuwXEBtQA/Th2_cbIJI8I/AAAAAAAAAh8/BHGQPlcUCn8/s320/3432474928_df867b140a_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628865604322141122" border="0" /></a><br />Hello fellow Quest fans! Greetings from Palm Key. Just have time to throw up a quick blog entry I'm afraid. My day job has me taxed and timeless.<br /><br />A reminder: any of the artwork, frame grabs, any graphic on this blog can be enjoyed in a larger size simply by double clicking on it. (At least on my Mac this is what happens) The art can then be dragged onto your desktop for your own collection (If your computer is lucky enough to work like my Mac does, anyway)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E03RU2uqrIw/Th3IU2yZQ4I/AAAAAAAAAjE/iLxwoZOrQDU/s1600/019%2BOsom%2BHenchman.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E03RU2uqrIw/Th3IU2yZQ4I/AAAAAAAAAjE/iLxwoZOrQDU/s320/019%2BOsom%2BHenchman.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628875369912812418" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Osom's henchman from the yeti epsiode of Quest. This looks like the amazing design work of Alex Toth to me. Anybody know for sure?</span><br /></div><br />Since the response to the Quest blog where we discovered and shared all the music cues from THE CURSE OF ANUBIS episode, and clearly so many of you, as I have, enjoy collecting and listening to the wonderful sounds Hoyt Curtin supplied for Jonny and his adventures, I decided to pick another episode and see what cues we could collect for it.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WC81vWXVG-8/Th2y3yFOI_I/AAAAAAAAAdU/TjU0f6uvBHQ/s1600/01YetiPlane.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WC81vWXVG-8/Th2y3yFOI_I/AAAAAAAAAdU/TjU0f6uvBHQ/s320/01YetiPlane.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628851780689208306" border="0" /></a>The episode where I was able to find and clean up most of its music cues, was the penultimate Quest episode MONSTER IN THE MONASTERY. This is is the episode which pitted Jonny and Hadji against a gang of political terrorists dressed as yetis to overthrow ruler Raj Guru.<br /><br />I was asked last time to post the episode as well as the cues, so they could be played and compared, so first off, here is episode 25: MONSTER IN THE MONASTERY.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JaNZruyh6sw/Th3H4KRZPLI/AAAAAAAAAi8/tpvIc9lU9nU/s1600/PohoQuestMainTitle.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JaNZruyh6sw/Th3H4KRZPLI/AAAAAAAAAi8/tpvIc9lU9nU/s320/PohoQuestMainTitle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628874876926901426" border="0" /></a>Download at this link, but remember, the DVD release from Warner Bros.

I have tried to locate all of these cues in their pristine form here, but had to settle for twenty-two.<br /><br />Here they are in chronological order as they appeared in the episode, but again, some are repeated throughout the twenty-five minutes. I have tried to indicate where, so you won't need to download the same cue twice.<br /><br />Just click the link below each description to download the cue.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">CUE 1 <span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);">MAIN TITLE and MIKE ROAD VOICE OVER</span> This is the same Main Title we posted when we did the mummy episode because it includes Mike Road's voice over on behalf of the show's sponsor.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/tj81x3">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/tj81x3</a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">CUE 2 <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">THE CRY OF THE YETI</span> As thunder and lightning rages, the villagers of small village in Nepal hear strange animal howls from the high stone walls of an ancient monastery.

In fact, it's darn hard to find out who wrote what for SPACE GHOST or any of the other rousing adventure themes that graced THE HERCULOIDS, MIGHTY MIGHTOR etc.<br /><br />The music supervisor credited at the end of these action toons is TED NICHOLS. If Hoyt's "Musical Supervision" Title should have more accurately been "Music Composed and Conducted by" -- then should we assume that Ted Nichols is the composer of THE MIGHTY MIGHTOR, SPACE GHOST and MOBY DICK? THE HERCULOIDS?<br /><br />Can anyone shed some light on this subject for us?<br /><br />Anyone know? Someone had taken over for Hoyt Curtin by then as "Music Supervisor" who I am assuming was the composer of the music.<br /><br />Hoyt started with Bill and Joe at the beginning of the partnership in 1957 with RUFF and READY and continued through the JETSONS, TOP CAT, JONNY QUEST and the FLINTSTONES .<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TP0yvriyZcI/AAAAAAAAAY0/kYdEzlCjZuM/s1600/space_ghost_and_dino_boyNOTIT.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TP0yvriyZcI/AAAAAAAAAY0/kYdEzlCjZuM/s320/space_ghost_and_dino_boyNOTIT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547646110714193346" border="0" /></a>But Hoyt seems to have been absent from Hanna-Barbera during the superhero craze of mid 60s animation -- though you'd never know it since the niney-plus action cues he wrote for Quest would be used in every action series HB produced right up into 1968 for their live action series THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN.<br /><br />I remember watching that show -- for the express purpose of waiting for a Quest cue.

So here's what SPACE GHOST looks like when he's not wearing that cool cowl. Alex Toth, as brilliant an artist who ever lived, clearly wanted the animators who would draw SPACE GHOST, to think of him as a man first and a cowled (face mostly hidden) superhero second.<br /><br />SPACE GHOST followed the Hanna-Barbera action template of three seven minute cartoons to make up the half hour. Bracketing they called it, since for instance for The Space Ghost show, you saw two Space Ghost cartoons bracketing one episode of DINO BOY in THE LOST VALLEY.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzRgrJLyk9gYSscBh4K69L0ekJhrp686nvb9nVdcbLacsWa_ecMHPfwsUSIukA2VJxkpEJQBNp6KXW2dN26pg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Mike Road provided the voice of UGH, or is it UG, the caveman -- and each episode is almost wall to wall Quest cues. In fact in the episode provided here, for the "lizard hounds", it looks like Ashida's dragons from JONNY QUEST were simply traced over.<br /><br />There is something about the simplicity of the Dino Boy show that I like. It's mostly action, Quest music and dinosaurs -- what boy could ask for anything more?<br /><br />If you would like to download the SPACE GHOST Main Title as seen above:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/d93dat">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/d93dat</a><br /><br />And if you would like to have a complete seven-minute episode of SPACE GHOST, here is "The Heat Thing", which if memory serves me correctly, was the first Space Ghost episode ever shown:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/4daal1">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/4daal1</a><br /><br />To download the DINO BOY intro:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/cehg5v">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/cehg5v</a><br /><br />And to download a DINO BOY episode "The Terrible Chase" :<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/edf2o9">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/edf2o9</a><br /><br />Again, you can buy a lot of these terrific series on DVD now, and SPACE GHOST AND DINO BOY is one of them.

It was perhaps trimmed for gunplay -- not sure. Anyone who does know what the titles looked like back then -- please chime in.<br /><br />Looking at a Quest episode -- or even the main title -- and you will be reminded that the animation or artwork in Saturday morning shows don't resemble THE FLINSTONES, THE JETSONS or JONNY QUEST, for quality. Remember, those were all primetime animation shows -- and boasted some of the biggest per episode budgets in television history at the time.<br /><br />A Saturday morning show, like SPACE GHOST or any of the others, probably had half that budget -- or even less for these half hour shows, so you're going to see even less animation and creatures and monsters and things that were simple in design as to enable the animators to work faster.<br /><br /><br />To download the traditional JONNY QUEST Main Title:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/p7ob6f">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/p7ob6f</a><br /><br />To download the full episode THE INVISIBLE MONSTER from Jonny Quest:<br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/go0mrb"><br />http://www.sendspace.com/pro/go0mrb</a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">THE LONE RANGER</span><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw06LQmZLmFocXimOhIRGHrc2MPuB1yoNspi9WadVk33iDHxK5sZY-HmIyl4woYS1QvBsRs1SmSMJtFwdKjUw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">1:00 to 1:30</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> </span> Late runner in the afternoon -- if it wasn't bumped by a golf tournament or other sports program, was this atmostpheric animated take on the West's most famous hero.<br /></div></div><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TP0yu5HaGjI/AAAAAAAAAYk/3IkcwAWUc9s/s1600/LoneRangerTITLE.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TP0yu5HaGjI/AAAAAAAAAYk/3IkcwAWUc9s/s320/LoneRangerTITLE.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547646097177582130" border="0" /></a><br />If memory serves -- and it may not -- The Lone Ranger animated series of 1980 was voiced by William Conrad (you might remember him from the TV show JAKE AND THE FAT MAN) whose wonderful voice graced many, many classic radio shows (including THE LONE RANGER) if I am not mistaken -- as well as lending his voice talents to a myriad of Jay Ward's wonderful and zany cartoons.

And I can understand why I lost interest in Saturdays eventually -- much of it was because I had my own car, my own hormones and my interests started to go elsewhere.<br /><br />But even now as I start to see silver hair in my sideburns, I have never lost interest in the original JONNY QUEST.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TP2IctfhJfI/AAAAAAAAAac/n_Jedm5XLjw/s1600/QuestLivingRoomTV.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TP2IctfhJfI/AAAAAAAAAac/n_Jedm5XLjw/s320/QuestLivingRoomTV.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547740342819825138" border="0" /></a>Well, that's it for this Holiday blog.

And thanks so much for the encouragement and thanks from you folks.<br /><br />Some of the Quest treasures I have found in my quest for Quest on the interweb, this time led me to THE JONNY QUEST COLORING BOOK. It was published twice and the first edition states 1965 as it's date of copyright and had this cover:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNb9ecsMfCI/AAAAAAAAAP8/65Sjt8U9REQ/s1600/QuestColoringBook1stPUB.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 236px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNb9ecsMfCI/AAAAAAAAAP8/65Sjt8U9REQ/s320/QuestColoringBook1stPUB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536891491438066722" border="0" /></a>The coloring book was clearly THE CURSE OF ANUBIS episode with everything in it except, sadly, The Mummy.

The artist credited for the drawings in the book is named JASON ART. And he handled Race, Benton and the boys masterfully -- though interestingly enough: Bandit looks the least like himself in this incarnation.<br /><br />Larger and more portly and with a different structure to his face and body. He was drawn to look more like a real bulldog I think. But Jason Art's talent for drawing the great and assured lines that Doug Wildey's characters were known for, is evident in this coloring book.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNiN83xBk4I/AAAAAAAAAU0/zEPBDksfmHk/s1600/QuestColorTheBoysLaugh.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNiN83xBk4I/AAAAAAAAAU0/zEPBDksfmHk/s320/QuestColorTheBoysLaugh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537331818753266562" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">One of the many two-page layouts in the coloring book</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I remember getting the second edition of this coloring book when I was a lad.

And you'd probably need a time machine to take you back to the mid 1960s to ever completely understand why the coloring book was so different from the episode it was clearly representing.<br /><br />Starting with the omission of The Mummy itself, and all acts of "action" or maybe it's the violence they wanted to pull back on.<br /><br />No guns are fired, only pointed, and even the scorpion that threatens Bandit, is merely lassoed (not destroyed) by Race's bullwhip in the coloring book version. Also, Dr. Kareem's thugs have been changed from Egyptians with turbans, to guys who look more like Dr. Quest and Dr. Kareem. In fact, they have been cleansed of their ethnicity.<br /><br />Maybe the most striking bit of censorship -- I mean, I get that coloring books were aimed at little kids, so a blood-and-guts version of Jonny Quest from Whitman wouldn't have happened anyway. Not in 1965. But come on:<br />Race, who is sunning on a blanket on the beach at Palm Key -- has been drawn for the coloring book, fully-clothed?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNb6Gk7hB9I/AAAAAAAAAPs/ux_XCF2e-v8/s1600/QuestColorRaceBlanket.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 235px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNb6Gk7hB9I/AAAAAAAAAPs/ux_XCF2e-v8/s320/QuestColorRaceBlanket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536887782798067666" border="0" /></a>In the actual episode he was of course in swimtrunks:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNiGkax80tI/AAAAAAAAAUk/xaFm_kY5WIE/s1600/AAANipplesRaceOnBeach.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNiGkax80tI/AAAAAAAAAUk/xaFm_kY5WIE/s320/AAANipplesRaceOnBeach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537323702074266322" border="0" /></a><br />Also, in the coloring book, when he captures the boys after their sneak attack -- Jonny has also been drawn fully clothed.

So it does set a mind to wondering what the thought process was here for the coloring book people, since the boys with Race from the actual episode looked like this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNcFfG9KhwI/AAAAAAAAAQE/AAv6PAt88O4/s1600/RaceBoysTussle.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNcFfG9KhwI/AAAAAAAAAQE/AAv6PAt88O4/s320/RaceBoysTussle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536900298876552962" border="0" /></a>I mean did Catholic nuns create the Jonny Quest coloring book? Were bathing suits on a beach, taboo in the 1965 world of crayons? Is this a question of prudery? (If that's a word)<br /><br />Is it just me, or is there all kinds of phobias going on in this coloring book? I mean come on, violence I can understand, racial stereotypes as bad guys in a coloring book, I guess I could see that -- but the boys and Race had to be fully clothed on the beach? No swimsuits?<br /><br />I guess "Jonny Quest and The Mystery of the Coloring Book", including the unforgiveable omission of the mummy, will never be solved. And it is a mystery -- since in the same coloring book, Hadji (the always naked) barely has a doilie over his willy!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNi9ZslyZAI/AAAAAAAAAU8/p1tzv26NTS4/s1600/QuestColor034Hadji.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNi9ZslyZAI/AAAAAAAAAU8/p1tzv26NTS4/s320/QuestColor034Hadji.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537383991016055810" border="0" /></a>Oh, one friend did suggest, that if prudery wasn't the reason, then it was probably that when you put Jonny and Race in clothes on the beach, you would need to use more colors as in more crayons, because there would be more to color.

(They were presented with the entire Quest library of cues for the production of their underground Quest doc) And asked if I could replace the bad or damaged cues with the matching and much more pristine cues they had from the episode.<br /><br />Since some of the cues in the Anubis episode have already been featured in the Hanna-Barbera Pik-a-Nic Basket CD Collection, and various bootleg CDs availible on ebay, the guys gave their okay.<br /><br />Understandably, when they were given the music to put on their doc, they promised not to release it, bootlegged or otherwise --since it is not in the public domain.

And no, I don't work for Sendspace or anything. This blog is here because, I, like many others, are still captivated by that great show -- whenever it entered our lives.<br /><br />Whatever you may think you have, of interest, of quality, or not -- I encourage you to share it. If you have Quest stuff, from fan fiction to memorabilia, to stuff used for actual Quest episodes, I hope you will share it with the Quest community that is gradually growing here.<br /><br />Thanks for all the comments and input too. You can reach me through the email address in my Blog profile.<br /><br />And that goes for all the Chinese, Japanese and Korean comments too. Thank you. I sure wish I could respond, but even the auto-translators aren't always a lot of help when trying to translate your comments into English.<br /><br />As a last little gift to all the Quest-ites who keep checking in, lurkers included, here is a very large and long piece of art done for the Quest Documentary, that includes the larger part of the cartoon work Hoyt Curtin did in his remarkable career in animation.<br /><br />It only flashes by in a second in the doc (with Jonny Quest flying over it) but here is the full scale, large file of the graphic. You can double click it to download it a full size. <span style="font-style: italic;">(As is true for any of the graphics on this blogsite)</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNc1d-FrSmI/AAAAAAAAAR0/jQNxg9QretQ/s1600/HoytMontage+copy.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 98px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TNc1d-FrSmI/AAAAAAAAAR0/jQNxg9QretQ/s320/HoytMontage+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536953055874599522" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I have some very special ideas for future blogs, based on one comment that finding a new blog here on a Saturday morning was like waking up on a Saturday when we were kids and slurping a bowl of cereal in front of the TV.<br /><br />I'm just waiting for a little more material to come in (I wish this was my day job, but sadly, it's not) And when I have what I need, more goodies to come.<br /><br />So, until next time, so long from Palm Key -- and the little house behind the cabanas and of course the Underwater Sea Prober.<br /><br />Tell your friends if they are Classic Quest aficionados, about the blog.

Chris here, and I have a few minutes here so happy to type a few words to all my fellow Questites out there. <br /><br />I like to include a few goodies in each blog that can be easily downloaded and talk a little bit about the show and share some of the Quest stuff I come across on my adventures on the web.<br /><br />One thing I found, and I'm not quite sure where it came from, was this great original ABC Promo for JONNY QUEST. I would guess it ran alot the summer of '64 on the network. I posted it on YouTube and also here:<br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xutfBe3GdR8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xutfBe3GdR8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br />It's amazing the artwork that keeps showing up on the web referring to the show's original broadcast in 64. Here is a TV Guide from Australia, showing what looks like Doug Wildey artwork that I have never seen before or since.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TBuqRqQKj1I/AAAAAAAAANE/x5mCcot3D_Y/s1600/SouthAustralianTVRadioGuide19670312Cover.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/TBuqRqQKj1I/AAAAAAAAANE/x5mCcot3D_Y/s320/SouthAustralianTVRadioGuide19670312Cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484164191630298962" border="0" /></a>This rare little ditty below, someone sent to me.

Remember, any artwork on this blog you can copy onto your own computer simply by double-clicking on it (on Macs anyway)<br /><br />This will pull up a page with the full sized artwork.

The Venture Bros. continues too be one of the smartest and coolest animated series on TV today, and I am still waiting for the finish of the next season, which seemed to end abruptly months ago on Cartoon Network's ADULT SWIM.<br /><br />Some time ago, while Doug Wildey was still alive, COMICO COMICS created a comic book series based on the original series. While the artwork rarely rivaled the great work of the TV series (too bad Alex Toth, Warren Tufts and Doug didn't jump in and do this series) the writing was often good, and I thought, for someone dallying in the mythology of the original Quest, didn't do half bad.<br /><br />Doug Wildey did some of the covers of this COMICO series, as well as a dynamite one by Dave Stevens, another master and Quest fan in his own right. But they did a series of comics at the same time called JONNY QUEST classics, where Doug took some of his favorite episodes and did contemporary comic book versions of them.<br /><br />Just having Quest comics done by Wildey was terrific. I wish they had given him more pages, so the artwork in the panels could have been bigger and more detailed, but they are still treasures in the JONNY QUEST world, because they are created by the creator.<br /><br />I recently found some that had been posted online as PDF files. Meaning you can read them on your computer. I will post one, here and if you like it, let me know and I post another.<br /><br />The one I am posting here today is in keeping with this blog's entry focus on Doug's favorite episode, SHADOW OF THE CONDOR.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/8c1h9h">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/8c1h9h</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 204, 255); font-style: italic;">MORE FROM THE JONNY QUEST GRAB BAG<br /></div><br />There is also some music I found that you may or may not already have. One is a suite of music that starts with the Main Title and includes the Speed Boat Chase from the pilot episode and the End Title music as well:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/kmo6jm"> http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/kmo6jm</a><br /><br />The other cue is also an extended cue that is classic action Quest, and we heard it in just about every Hanna-Barbera action series since. The title given is "Action Everywhere", though I don't know if all hundred or so cues written for Quest were actually given names.<br /><br />In the movie/TV music biz, I know that usually cues are assigned numbers rather than titles. Here is "Action Everywhere":<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/ynrlf1">http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/ynrlf1</a><br /><br />One thing you have to say about Hoyt Curtin's music. There's no way to listen to it and not feel good. And that is certainly true of many of the action and just cool jazz cues that make up the musical horizon he created for the coolest TV animation ever. (Almost called it the coolest cartoon ever -- but I sensed Doug Wildey cringing -- he hated having JONNY QUEST called a cartoon)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">INCREDIBLE FAN ART<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">As always it is my great pleasure to share fan art based on the original Quest show with you.

The whole doc is long, isn't it? But if you're a classic Quest nut, there's nothing like it.<br /><br />I said if, when I checked back, there were people asking to see the deleted scenes, that I would post them here. Since there was interest, and the authors of the documentary have said it would be okay, I have a couple for you:<br /><br />The first one is a a brief addition to the Mike Road/Race Bannon chapter, talking about voice acting. This tiny clip (about a minute long) was cut for time, though personally, I don't see what the harm would have been in including it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfdYR4REI/AAAAAAAAAMM/sULIEeosVJo/s1600/AAAAANipplesRaceHydrafoilMLM.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfdYR4REI/AAAAAAAAAMM/sULIEeosVJo/s320/AAAAANipplesRaceHydrafoilMLM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474652517872190530" border="0" /></a>You can download this Mike Road/Race extended sequence as a Quicktime movie at this Sendspace address:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/hyql4w"> http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/hyql4w</a><br /><br />You can also view it on YouTube, right here on the blog:<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jtIGAedpIEk&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jtIGAedpIEk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />The other sequence I have for you is a ten minute show-stopper that was originally supposed to end the documentary -- reminding us all of the reason we all fell in love with this show -- it was so damned action-packed and exciting!<br /><br />A montage of a lot of the action from many of the episodes was edited together and then rescored with some of Hoyt Curtin's most memorable action cues.<br /><br />But since the end title sequence (which itself runs seven minutes or so) did some of the same thing, a very difficult decision was made by the authors of the piece and this section was cut, allowing the end titles to act as the program's finale.<br /><br />The authors tell me that this was one of the most time consuming sections of the documentary to put together, because the clips that are edited together here,had to have their sound FX, voices and music -- removed, or it would have sounded like a bloody mess with all the different bits of music cutting in and out of each other.<br /><br />So all the sound had to be stripped off so that other music could be added to make it flow like one, ongoing sequence.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfdk1FHVI/AAAAAAAAAMU/BHF7TjZlMSg/s1600/JonnyHadjiBWPhoto.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfdk1FHVI/AAAAAAAAAMU/BHF7TjZlMSg/s320/JonnyHadjiBWPhoto.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474652521241058642" border="0" /></a>That meant that after skinning off the FX tracks, and adding different action music -- they needed to go back in and recreate every gunshot, yeti howl, splash, crash and explosion so the sequence still had power and velocity.<br /><br />They said they occasionally snuck in a line or two of dialog when they could separate it from the original music track, but I guess putting this sequence together was the most time consuming and difficult part of the documentary's production.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfeajWnZI/AAAAAAAAAMc/hIBUKxdmFZg/s1600/QuestCASTStrip.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 140px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfeajWnZI/AAAAAAAAAMc/hIBUKxdmFZg/s320/QuestCASTStrip.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474652535662222738" border="0" /></a>The filmmakers were troubled that this entire sequence had to be lifted or basically cut for time, when the doc started to go over two and a half hours. But they are happy that the sequence can at least be seen and appreciated by fellow Quest fans.<br /><br />You can download this sequence as a Quicktime movie at this Sendspace address:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/3ijm93"> http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/3ijm93</a><br /><br />I have also posted it on my YouTube page.

It is the chapter with the above title. The authors are looking to see if some incarnation of the funniest and most provocative deleted sequence still exists. Keep checking back here, because I will post it if it shows up.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">QUESTions and ANSWERS</span><br /></div><br />Let me answer a few questions that I get asked a lot either here (you can contact me through the email address in my profile on this blog) or I get asked a lot on YouTube:<br /><br />I can't put you in touch with the filmmakers of the doc. Yes, I do know them, and we have become friends. But they do not want their identities revealed in the same way they don't want to see their documentary sold or exploited to make money.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfe-bD5MI/AAAAAAAAAMk/vwK_pEnsDwk/s1600/AA+hadjiRaceBW.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nfe-bD5MI/AAAAAAAAAMk/vwK_pEnsDwk/s320/AA+hadjiRaceBW.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474652545291117762" border="0" /></a>There really isn't a mystery about it, and the people who have emailed me and told me they think they know who the creator of the doc is -- have all been mistaken.<br /><br />There is no obvious choice here, in fact the creators I don't think have ever made a documentary film before or since. They are not in the entertainment field, but did get someone to narrate the documentary who is. And was also a big Quest fan growing up.<br /><br />I can tell you, with their permission, that it was created as a 50th birthday present. You heard that right, it was created (and took well over a year's time) as a very special birthday gift for someone turning fifty.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_ncP8-EvSI/AAAAAAAAALs/0xhw58nEyn8/s1600/AAQuestPhotoColor.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_ncP8-EvSI/AAAAAAAAALs/0xhw58nEyn8/s320/AAQuestPhotoColor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474648988668181794" border="0" /></a>The doc was screened one time only at that birthday celebration, and when I saw it, I thought it was a shame it would never be shared with the world and all the classic Quest fans this shows has gathered over fifty years time.<br /><br />When I got permission to post it on YouTube -- I had no idea just how loved, and international this show's appeal was. It was overwhelming. And the responses, most of which I share with the actual creators of the doc, are pretty great.<br /><br />Some of you have written in about inaccuracies in the doc about dates or names. There are some bloopers and mistakes to be sure. The creators used the internet as one of their sources for dates and times. But they also used extensive interviews with Doug Wildey and others to report on the actual making of the show.<br /><br />The two details they wanted to correct but couldn't before the film had to be finalized was the date for the production of TOP CAT (it was either a year earlier or later than the doc states) and that Magilla Gorilla was actually sponsored by toy company Ideal and not Hasbro as the doc states.<br /><br />They did months of fact checking they said, but in two and a half hours, there will always be little bloopers here and there. The filmmakers were committed to making the show about Doug Wildey's version of how the show got made -- since they saw him as the true creator of the series.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_ncQ1X5AuI/AAAAAAAAAL8/zb3FABXZ_ig/s1600/HANNA-BARBERA%2BCARTOON%2BFACES%2BCOLOR.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_ncQ1X5AuI/AAAAAAAAAL8/zb3FABXZ_ig/s320/HANNA-BARBERA%2BCARTOON%2BFACES%2BCOLOR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474649003808850658" border="0" /></a>Though Joe Barbera and William Hanna told him in no uncertain terms that he would not be credited with the creation of the show. As the doc points out -- they gave Doug the tile of "Based on an idea created by Doug Wildey" in the end title. Though some episodes list him as supervising art director and others don't list him at all.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nffCrZjQI/AAAAAAAAAMs/cQtWaTIVX0c/s1600/AAAA_davestevensWIldeyEYES.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 163px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nffCrZjQI/AAAAAAAAAMs/cQtWaTIVX0c/s320/AAAA_davestevensWIldeyEYES.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474652546433387778" border="0" /></a>Sadly, the Jonny Quest DVD boxset, uses the same end title sequence for every episode (a time/money saving endeavor that sadly falsifies the credits for all but a few of the twenty six episodes) -- and even more regretably, the end title they chose is one where Doug Wildey isn't listed at all.<br /><br />As if he had nothing to do with his own series.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">THAT GREAT HOYT CURTIN MUSIC</span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_naueH-2fI/AAAAAAAAAK8/PA6jZoZDZHE/s1600/Questmusic1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_naueH-2fI/AAAAAAAAAK8/PA6jZoZDZHE/s320/Questmusic1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474647313940929010" border="0" /></a>Another often asked question is where can people get the music for Jonny Quest because there are so many terrific cues used in the doc, from the show, that aren't availible anywhere.<br /><br />The authors of the piece were supplied with every cue ever written for Jonny Quest, and this was one of the reasons why they thought they could take a crack at making an extensive documentary about this unique show. That Hoyt's incredible music could drive the program and keep it moving -- even if it went over two hours.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nVxKWllTI/AAAAAAAAAJc/BN_Igq8pPUI/s1600/QuestTributeWall.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 133px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nVxKWllTI/AAAAAAAAAJc/BN_Igq8pPUI/s320/QuestTributeWall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474641862614947122" border="0" /></a>The authors cannot share the music with anyone. They have been asked repeatedly to do so. Many bootlegs exists with a good number of the Quest cues, but sadly, not to the extent of the full score.<br /><br />Hoyt's music for Quest which was used endlessly on Herculoids, Dino Boy, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Mighty Mightor, Fantastic Four and Space Ghost (and many, many more Hanna-Barbera ventures) have made it the music we all grew up with -- whenever animation was from Hanna-Barbera and action driven.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nSxgQNkEI/AAAAAAAAAJE/WIJkjGaJzyA/s1600/hb-vanpartible-art.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S_nSxgQNkEI/AAAAAAAAAJE/WIJkjGaJzyA/s320/hb-vanpartible-art.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474638569958903874" border="0" /></a>I cannot supply anyone with the complete set of music cues for Quest, as much as I would like to. The filmmakers tell me it is so much music it just fits onto three CDs.<br /><br />Someone did ask me if I knew of any sheet music that had the theme from Jonny Quest on it. There I could be of help. In an out-of-print music book called The Hanna-Barbera Song Book, there is a piano score for the Main Theme of Jonny Quest.<br /><br />Though I cannot imagine how this score would sound on just a piano or guitar, here is the sheet music from that book, for Quest fans who would like to see what all those notes look like that give us that explosive Quest feel.<br /><br />If anyone can actually play this, please do, record it and then send it to me so I can post it here on the blog.

I am not the author of this documentary. I saw it once, and being a die-hard Quest fan since my childhood, asked the creators if I might post it on YouTube.<br /><br />Since the documentary was not produced for profit, or ever licensed or marketed (it was created for a one time screening at private function) the authors allowed me to break it into parts and post it on YouTube.<br /><br />The response was so great, from around the world, asking for the full version, that I decided to start this blog and tried posting the entire doc a year ago here. But there were so many parts, and my splitting and posting skills so limited, that it seemed to cause more frustration than<br />anything else, with those trying to download the parts, assemble them, and get a copy of the whole show.<br /><br />Maybe this problem is solved now with these new files.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S7X4pxC4TbI/AAAAAAAAAIk/VXQ0lLijf3Y/s1600/YetiPrints.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S7X4pxC4TbI/AAAAAAAAAIk/VXQ0lLijf3Y/s320/YetiPrints.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455539920052964786" border="0" /></a>I hope so. Here is the show again in only 20 parts this time -- and anyone who is more computer savvy than I, and more familiar with brands other than Apple -- maybe can help out with suggestions, if there are<br />problems again with IBM users.<br /><br />I have also acquired a couple of deleted scenes that were not included in the YouTube posting. An alternate opening for the doc, a little bit more about Mike Road and Race Bannon. They were edited for time, since the doc was approaching two and a half hours.<br /><br />I will post those, if anyone has asked for them next time I check into this blog. You can contact me at the email in my profile.

It was in mid 1993 when I decided to make the jump toward getting a license, and going for my dream project... a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Jonny</span> Quest model kit.<br /><br />Matt <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">McWhirt</span> is my name and this is the true story of how the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Jonny</span> Quest model kits came to be against all odds -- and the true hero that really made it all happen.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">THE LICENSING DANCE</span><br /></div><br />The process of licensing a property is a dance, and if your an upstart with no shoes, its tough to get on the dance floor. At the time of the license, Turner owned Hanna-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Barbera,</span> so when proposing a license, you find who owns the rights and make contact.<br /><br />In the case of the Quest license, it was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">negotiated</span> in New York and then handed off to Hanna-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Barbera</span> in California. The contact was made because my friend Mike at Action Kits International, known for the Dark Shadows models and the Toxic Avenger Model, had had previous contact.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S270XbRC0dI/AAAAAAAAAFc/a8_u-ZasC4I/s1600-h/QuestCASTStrip.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 140px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S270XbRC0dI/AAAAAAAAAFc/a8_u-ZasC4I/s320/QuestCASTStrip.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435550483576181202" border="0" /></a>I hope Mike forgives me omitting his last name but I could never spell it and almost cannot pronounce it. So I called and the dance began. It was simple we had to make an offer. In 1993 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Jonny</span> Quest was pretty much considered a dead property. Turner was more interested in why I did not want to go after a better license.<br /><br />Well, I gave them an offer and there was a counter, and it was accepted. It was like getting the dance with the girl, but Dr. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Zin</span> was the director of the band, and he cut the song short. After Turner was paid, I began work on designing the model and the concept.<br /><br />My college friend Kevin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Butterfield,</span> worked on the design and the concept art. It was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">submitted</span>, and I faced hurdle number two: Turner did not understand the concept of a model kit, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">panicked</span> because they thought I was making statues.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S275NLkhe9I/AAAAAAAAAHM/001sbc2rXZA/s1600-h/TSOT_JonnyBanditAB.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S275NLkhe9I/AAAAAAAAAHM/001sbc2rXZA/s320/TSOT_JonnyBanditAB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435555805122362322" border="0" /></a>Well, phone calls , explanations, sketches and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">a lot</span> of time on the two year license, was getting gobbled.

One: Dr. Quest had a bazooka lying next to him which according to Doug he would never have.<br /><br />Two: He also wanted to know why I wanted to represent the Invisible Monster episode and do the rocket belts. (The truth is, the footprint on the base was thought of as an adventure that never happened. Maybe a Dinosaur or maybe something else).<br /><br />I wanted the models to bring some life, to what to me had always been an on going story. The great thing about talking with Doug, was he never once thought of me as a little fish or a dreamer. He listened to what I wanted to do, and he offered help. And he created the box art which became the concept for the models.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S275L2JCHsI/AAAAAAAAAGs/JRIGuqHevIk/s1600-h/jonnybox.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S275L2JCHsI/AAAAAAAAAGs/JRIGuqHevIk/s320/jonnybox.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435555782190046914" border="0" /></a>He left <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">Kevin's</span> design of the idol head exactly as it was drawn, and I love that part of the original concept remained.

He was surprised to hear the offer. He wondered if anyone would be interested in having him as a guest, and I was certain the fans would love to meet him.<br /><br />So the deal was struck: he was coming and even announced in an early show <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">flyer</span>. Doug never had to be interested in the models, he never had to call this unknown upstart, he could have blasted me for getting the concept wrong, but he seemed to have genuine interest and he helped me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S273YbOWG-I/AAAAAAAAAGc/jRzQLjR7RW8/s1600-h/bentonbox.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/S273YbOWG-I/AAAAAAAAAGc/jRzQLjR7RW8/s320/bentonbox.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435553799279614946" border="0" /></a>During the time we worked together, Hanna-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">Barbera</span> and Turner backed off and it was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">beginning</span> to look like the models would be realized and premiered.

(Transfers from TVLand Broadcasts) Why is this good news for fans of the original JONNY QUEST?<br /><br />Because in Season 6, back in 1963, fresh from doing the voice of Jonny Quest for all twenty-six episodes, young Tim Matheson went on to appear as Beaver's buddy, Mike Hanson, on two episodes of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER.<br /><br />Here is a short clip of young Tim on a Beaver episode, sounding more like Jonny than we've ever heard him.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ei6JR4vwqic&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ei6JR4vwqic&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei6JR4vwqic<br /><br />After all the great feedback from posting the Quest documentary, and kind of catching the Jonny Quest bug again, hearing from all of you about your like-minded love affair with the Quest party from the 60's, it made me toy with an idea I have been scratching my head about for a long time.<br /><br />I have read fan fiction for Jonny Quest, and while some of it is great, I wish it had that great, Doug Wildey artwork to go with it. And someone told me I should write my own Jonny Quest fan fiction and then illustrate it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrKYbB3RYGI/AAAAAAAAADc/rGMQUs01bD4/s1600-h/AAAA_davestevensWIldeyEYES.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 163px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrKYbB3RYGI/AAAAAAAAADc/rGMQUs01bD4/s320/AAAA_davestevensWIldeyEYES.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382532094785314914" border="0" /></a>Problem is, I am no artist. And I'm not sure even anyone today could deliver Jonny Quest in the style those original episodes had, combining the talents of greats like Wildey, Alex Toth and others.<br /><br />Then I thought, what if I used the original artwork from the episodes to illustrate my own story? With the use of Photoshop, I started a very meticulous process of seeing what that might look like.<br /><br />It is SO time consuming, I don't know when I would have time to create an actual comic book this way -- but I did experiment with one panel. I share it here with my fellow Quest fans:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrXbKDP8PkI/AAAAAAAAADs/FKScylT25B4/s1600-h/QuestPageOne.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrXbKDP8PkI/AAAAAAAAADs/FKScylT25B4/s320/QuestPageOne.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383449895308639810" border="0" /></a>If more time opens up and I can get a whole story up and running I will post the panels in this blog. It is not only finding the right artwork from the original episodes, but finding original backgrounds for the character artwork to go on top of, is the added challenge to an already huge one.<br /><br />Telling a story with someone else's pictures is a challenge indeed -- but one of my faults (or strengths) is that I do love a challenge.<br /><br />I am not going to talk much about the Jonny Quest movie that Warner Bros. may or may not be mounting.<br /><br />Friends I have in the motion picture industry tell me, that with the failure of the uber expensive SPEED RACER movie and some other recent TV Cartoon and Comic Book incarnations, like WATCHMEN becoming titanic, economic disasters on the big screen, the Quest flick rumored to be starring Zack Efron (too old for the orignal twelve year old Jonny Quest) and The Rock as Race Bannon (Race was more than a body. And not a bodybuilder either)<br /><br />This misguided Quest movie, making the crucial error of paying no attention whatsoever to the babyboomers who would actually go see it -- us, seems to have been derailed for the time being.<br /><br />In limbo, my movie friend told me, like so many other projects in what has become the tailspin the movie industry is experiencing right now with the financial collapse of so many industries worldwide.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrKYa6wIl5I/AAAAAAAAADU/EGX3H7msTpw/s1600-h/AA+hadjiRaceBW.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrKYa6wIl5I/AAAAAAAAADU/EGX3H7msTpw/s320/AA+hadjiRaceBW.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382532092876330898" border="0" /></a>Since the original idea of the 1963 Quest series was being abandoned for this new feature film, it didn't really hold much interest for me, or, dare I say, fans of the true classic Jonny Quest.<br /><br />Maybe when next it comes up on studio slates, it will be something we can all get excited about.<br /><br />Be well,<br /><br />From the sands of the beaches at Palm Key,<br /><br />Chris<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrKYbvCaf6I/AAAAAAAAADk/wz1JD-9lZts/s1600-h/AAAADougLogoOne.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 211px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SrKYbvCaf6I/AAAAAAAAADk/wz1JD-9lZts/s320/AAAADougLogoOne.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382532106911645602" border="0" /></a>Chris Webberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13756488140141457133noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266574837722868223.post-45604549397633990962009-06-05T13:48:00.000-07:002009-06-05T15:21:55.511-07:00The unforgettable INVISIBLE MONSTER<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SimIYkJ7hQI/AAAAAAAAAB0/U_AvDWBxZ_0/s1600-h/InvisMonstertit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dz6wyBd44K0/SimIYkJ7hQI/AAAAAAAAAB0/U_AvDWBxZ_0/s320/InvisMonstertit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343952388455367938" border="0" /></a><br />So much discussion and fond remembering of the INVISIBLE MONSTER episode keep coming to me via the Quest Documentary.<br /><br />Even though I am not the creator of the doc, the fact that I had the bright idea to post it on YouTube means I get all the great little comments and memories from what has to be one of the biggest and most loyal fanbases of any TV animation series ever.<br /><br />I am starting to call them Questies.

But for many Quest fans, his films, that include THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, were anything but "B".<br /><br />Jack Arnold worked for Universal back when 3D had been developed as a way of revitalizing the movie box office which was dwindling as audiences more and more were staying in at night and watching this new thing called "television".<br /><br />Cinemascope and other platforms made to make movies even more spectacular, to offer movie audiences what TV could not, included what<br />we can call the 3D era of moviemaking.<br /><br />Jack Arnold created two memorable 3D films, starting with IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE and followed that up with the timeless CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

First out, due to much demand from my YouTube page, here are the 108 files on Rapidshare that will join together to create in two parts, the complete Jonny Quest Documentary in hi-rez and stereo.<br /><br />The doc is split in two parts of about an hour and ten minutes a pieces so you can burn the show onto DVDs (2 DVDs) if you so desire.<br /><br />You can join the files together with any kind of "file joining program". I use a program called ROSETTA because I find it works great on my Mac. If you use an IBM, I'm not sure what you'd use but I am sure there are many.<br /><br />The original creators of the documentary have given me permission to share this unique documentary but ask once again that if you do download it and decide to copy it or share it, please do not sell it or in any way create profit with it.<br /><br />This was their sole requirement for posting it on YouTube and now here on<br />this blog. If you don't know how to download and joins parts posted on Rapidshare, please go to their website and read about it.<br /><br />I won't be able to answer your technical questions because I am not a technical person and rarely find time to check in.<br /><br />I subscribe to Rapidshare for a very small amount of money and you might want to think about it as well, because downloading all 108 parts of the Quest doc for free will take a while.<br /><br />A long, long, while.<br /><br />The good news is, is that even the missing chapters you can now see in one long movie file.<br /><br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />Chris<br /><br />You can download them here:<br /><br />http://www.sinlesslinks.com/Movies/johnny-quest-how-worlds-most-ambitious-animated-series-came-to-television/<br /><br />Or
