It’s just insane!
Judo and karate and levitation!
It’s just, like, this salad bar of craziness."
Bird points out that the action series' primetime placement added a crucial dimension to its influence.
“And people died in it!
They didn’t come back.
Animation always chickens out now, and they have endless fighting, but nobody ever dies.
And inJonny Quest, they die.
The stakes were up there.”
“Well, I wouldn’t say that I would” Bird admits.
“Butif I would, I would want to do it in animation, and not live-action.”
“You just don’t want Jonny to age.
“Or they take a stab at set it present-day… but no, man!
If you’re going to do it, you do it early-’60s and rock that baby.”
