The popular cartoon from the 1960s is revived in high-tech fashion, with some very glitzy special effects. There are lots of thrills and spills, some appealing characters and veteran movie actor George Segal's soothing voice as Jonny's scientist dad.

And for Ted Turner's outfit, it makes a nice change from the politically correct claptrap of Captain Planet and the Planeteers.
