Jonny Quest - Original Series on Blu-Ray

Did the DVD also suffer from this audio mixing problem?

 

Not that I have noticed, but I have not listened with a critical ear trying to find issues. I just watched and enjoyed the episodes.

 

Got mine on June the 8th and watched them all as soon I as could. I also loved this show when I was a kid and I loved going back and re-watching. The Warner Archive edition is great, a must own if you liked the series.

 

Sounds like I should upgrade my DVD. Great show!

 

I have no idea. I'm only talking about the brand-new Blu-ray release that came out last week. As far as I know, the same mix is used for all release formats.

My curse is that if there's an obvious technical flaw, it's gonna stop me from enjoying anything.

 

The one you linked to is a fully legit, limited edition 2-cd edition from 2016.

JONNY QUEST: LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET)

 

For those wondering about it, here's a link to the one the Vidiot was referencing in his post:

Hoyt Curtin - Incidental Themes From Jonny Quest And Other TV Animation

I have them both but would take the more recent LaLa Land 2 CD release if I had to choose between them.

 

Ah, pardon me -- I also own them both, but it's been so many years, I couldn't remember which one was the boot. Does the La La Land version have session countoffs and all that stuff, too?

(BTW, I actually got the "HypnoToad" joke and laughed!)

 

Please share!

 

Funny, I’m usually sensitive to these things but, after watching the first four episodes from the new Blu-Ray I’m not noticing a balance issue in levels between dialog and sound effects / music. The sound effects should be a bit louder IMO as they’re ‘noise’ type effects (explosions, gun shots etc.). Music doesn’t overpower dialog, so far anyways.

 

Perhaps we hear things differently. The only episode I watched was "Invisible Monster."

 

Were you able to sleep last night?

 

Right. That episode still creeps me out over 50 years later.

 

oh man I forgot about that one.
Yea, no desire to see that any time soon.

 

Rough night -- watched the final 2 episodes of Game of Thrones right before bed and had quite a few nightmares.

 

The Game of Thrones might have a few production advantages over the original Jonny Quest (you’d known that better than most..... ). There is something to be said for the terror/thrill you feel as a child that diminishes as we get older. I’m going with “The Invisible Monster” as being the scariest.

 

Sounds like this is worth upgrading. I just ordered it on Amazon for $24.99. It will be here in about two weeks. Thanks for all of your input!

 

I never expected to have Jonny Quest in this quality. This was my favorite childhood cartoon.
I am not noticing any problems with the dialog being too low in the mix. The only flaws I have
found so far were also in the DVD and not corrected this time either. In the Pursuit of the Po-Ho
episode there is a missing splash when Race jumps out of the water. Monster in the Monastery has
an extra bit of dialog where Bandit growls and Jonny says "quiet boy". This messes up the sync of the
audio and you get Hadji's mouth moving followed by him saying "hey, what's he doing" a few seconds
later. These were known issues discussed here:
DVD Audio Deficiencies

I ended up using the wav samples from that site and correcting the flaws myself.

 

My order from amazon is arriving tomorrow. I sense an impending Jonny Quest marathon this weekend. Invisible monster be damned!

 

I will have to wait a week but I will be doing that as well!

 

I'm going to dig into my copy tonight. Bullmoose.com is selling it for $19.97. I ordered it on July 2 and rec'd it July 5. The package went from ME to AZ.

 

Be very very very careful when you say that. Remember what happened to the inventor..........

 

I had already seen Forbidden Planet, so I already knew what an invisible alien monster created from sheer energy, one that could tear people apart, would be like.

Behold... the HYPNOTOAD!

 

Animation and design was really cool particularly for the time (and for TV no less) but I watched it recently and it didn't hold up quite as well as I thought in the writing area.

 

It's a kids show. It's fantastic for the era. When it works it works really well, though.
