Jetsons: The Movie is a 1990 American animated science fiction comedy film produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and written by Dennis Marks, based on the animated television series The Jetsons by Hanna-Barbera. It 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. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $20.3 million on a budget of $8 million during its theatrical run but it is considered a box office failure due to a costly $12 million failed marketing campaign by Universal but the film was later a moderate commercial success on home video sales. 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 which was cancelled three years prior to the film’s release, 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 media, the distribution rights to this film are still owned by Universal Pictures.
In the late 21st century, Spacely Sprockets and Spindles has opened a new mining colony called the "Orbiting Ore Asteroid". The proposed project is meant to increase productivity at 1/10 the cost of making the items on Earth. However, the factory is mysteriously and continuously sabotaged. During a meeting, Spacely Sprockets' president Cosmo Spacely (Mel Blanc) learns from the robotic plant engineer Rudy-2 (Ronnie Schell) that the latest head of the factory Alexander Throttlebottom has fled in fear, making four vice presidents of the new plant that Spacely has lost so far. Fearing for his company (and profits), Spacely asks robot assistant Gertrude to give him the name of someone who is loyal, expendable, and can push a button: George Jetson (George O'Hanlon) comes up as Throttlebottom's successor, the new Vice President. He then sends George and family to the plant.
While the family is thoroughly upset at being thrown from their normal lifestyle (and their upcoming weekly plans), they set up arrangements on the adjoining apartment community to the asteroid and its neighboring shopping complex, while it takes the family time to adjust. Rudy-2 shows George around the plant as they prepare for the grand re-opening of the plant.
Meanwhile, Jane (Penny Singleton) and Rosie (Jean Vander Pyl) befriend Rudy-2's wife Lucy-2 (Patti Deutsch). Judy Jetson (Tiffany) is having a hard time adjusting, and accepting the fact that she lost her chance at a date with rock star Cosmic Cosmo (Steve McClintock) which a friend of hers later takes, but soon feels better after meeting a teenage boy named Apollo Blue (Paul Kreppel). Elroy Jetson (Patric Zimmerman) meets Rudy-2's son Teddy-2 (Dana Hill) with whom he first is at odds, but eventually befriends.
Meanwhile, George, after orienting to his new job, figures that everything is ready; himself to start working, Mr. Spacely to see the plant working full-capacity, and its machines eventually able to churn out the one millionth Spacely sprocket. However, the opening-day festivities give way to panic and danger as the factory is sabotaged once again.
Over the next several days, George and Rudy-2 try to fix things, but issues persist to the point that, fed up and thinking George is responsible, Mr. Spacely charters a flight to the asteroid to check on things personally. George stays overnight in the factory hoping to catch the saboteurs in the act, only to accidentally fall asleep and be taken away by the mysterious creatures. Elroy, Teddy-2, and their neighbor Fergie Furbelow (Russi Taylor) sneak into the plant and meet Squeep (Frank Welker), a member of a small furry alien race known as Grungees (Frank Welker).
Squeep (with Teddy-2 translating) reveals that the factory is actually drilling into and destroying his people's community, which is based inside the asteroid. Soon, Jane, Judy, Apollo, Rudy-2, and Astro show up and discover the threat the plant is incurring. George is found hog-tied in the Grungees' colony, and is eventually convinced as well. Spacely arrives, and seeing his factory at a stand-still, he angrily reactivates it (despite it being nighttime and after disabling Rudy-2, who tries stopping him), putting everyone still in the asteroid in jeopardy, and nearly burying Elroy and Squeep alive under rubble. Everyone safely escapes, and, finally standing up to Spacely, George manages to stop the factory for the final time, ironically through his very own sabotage, and exposes the catastrophe his boss blatantly created for profit. George and Spacely come up with a deal to have the Grungees run the factory and deliver the sprockets to him, so that their home won't be destroyed. The Grungees then show Spacely how they'll run the factory and their new home will be in the factory.
Spacely Sprockets reaches the millionth sprocket at long last, Spacely decides now with the Grungees taking over the factory, George will keep the Vice President title but back on Earth and with no raise, George tells his family that must return to their old home because of Spacely's decision.
