The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania! is a 2017 Americandirect-to-videoanimated film starringThe Jetsons.[1][2] It is the fourth and final co-production betweenWarner Bros. Animation andWWE Studios.[3]
It was released on February 28, 2017, on Digital HD and on March 14, 2017, on home video. It is the first majorJetsons production in over 27 years since the 1990 filmJetsons: The Movie (and after the deaths ofGeorge O'Hanlon,Penny Singleton,Janet Waldo,Mel Blanc,Don Messick andJean Vander Pyl), and also the first since the two web shorts,Father and Son Day andThe Best Son, byJohn Kricfalusi'sSpümcø, the first without either the original creatorsWilliam Hanna andJoseph Barbera (who died respectively in 2001 and 2006) and the first since the Hanna-Barbera studios foreclosed and absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation in 2001.
As all of them had died over the years, none of the original voice cast returned for this film.Jeff Bergman (who replaced O'Hanlon and Blanc after their deaths for additional scenes inJetsons: The Movie) andFrank Welker (who was a cast member of the show's revival in the 1980s) are the only cast members from previous productions to return.[4]
Onmodern day Earth, after a liveWWE show inDenver,Colorado,Big Show is scheduled to faceSheamus for theWWE Championship inAlbuquerque onWWE SmackDown the next night, butMr. McMahon cancels the title match due to a snowstorm. Enraged by the cancellation, Big Show storms out of the arena and flies a plane through the blizzard only to be lost in the storm when his plane stalls.
Later,George Jetson is assigned byMr. Spacely to supervise a project that involves robots drilling through the surface of the Earth. When the robots report an obstruction on their drilling path, George investigates and discovers a frozen Big Show. After George brings him home and thaws him out, Big Show discovers that he was frozen.
The next day,Elroy brings Big Show to his school forshow and tell. Here, Big Show discovers that the WWE still exists, but is now a robot wrestling promotion. He steals the robot remote controller from Mr. McMoon, the descendant of Mr. McMahon, and uses the robot wrestlers to take over Orbit City.
The Jetsons escape and time travel to the Albuquerque show. George interferes with the Sheamus vs.Seth Rollins match, resulting inRoman Reigns,The Usos andAlicia Fox running in to get him out of the ring. Following the ruckus, George convinces Mr. McMahon and the WWE Superstars to travel with his family back to the future to save Orbit City only to end up returning one month later with Orbit City now under Big Show's complete control. Sheamus challenges Big Show to a winner-takes-all match while George is captured and imprisoned along with the other human citizens.
As the WWE Superstars battle their robot counterparts, George has the humans band together and revolt against Big Show, parking their flying cars around him to ensure a fair fight between Sheamus and Big Show. Sheamus knocks Big Show out with a Brogue Kick. Instead of pinning Big Show, Sheamus convinces him to continue their battle in the present.
In the aftermath of the battle, the WWE Superstars return to their time while Spacely Sprockets gets the contract to rebuild Orbit City with George once again assigned to supervise the robot workers.
After the city returns to normal, the Jetsons attendWrestleMania to watch the new human WWE Superstars enter the ring.
