The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest,[1] also known by its title card as Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures, is a science fiction/action-adventure animated television series, produced by Hanna-Barbera.
While the series was somewhat promoted as a sequel/continuation to the original 1960's series, with the team just being a couple years older, it made some notable changes to established canon. In particular, Hadji is now two years older than Jonny, his mystical abilities are much more subtle, and he's Dr. Quest's assistant. The series basically ignores other versions of the series such as the 80's series, but it draws some elements from the two TV films, such as remaking Jessie's character.

- J.D. Roth as Jonny Quest

- John de Lancie as Dr. Benton Quest. Original voice actor, Don Messick, recorded lines for the first four episodes, until his deteriorating health led to recasting the role with de Lancie. A distinct line of Messick's can be heard in Rock of Rages, when Dr. Quest says, "And not a moment too soon!"
- Sonny Van Dusen as Race Bannon (episodes 1-6). Van Dusen also reprises his role from the '80s episodes, and the two television films of the '90s. He was credited as Granville Van Dusen in those appearances.

Notes/trivia
- This is the only mainstream incarnation to show Jonny and Hadji in their mid-teens. Everything, except for the alternate universe series, Future Quest, has depicted them as their 1960s preteen incarnations. Because of this, it would appear that The Real Adventures is no longer canon, as intended by the people involved.
- The show was intended to be one season of 65 episodes, but production problems cut it down to 52. The series was split between two production groups with vastly different styles in terms of continuity and animation style. As if that wasn't confusing enough, both styles were aired at the same time. To set them a part from each, they have gotten labelled as two different "seasons," which was how Warner Home Video and the Warner Archive Collection treated them when they were released onto DVD.
