Jonny Quest coloring book from 1965

Apparently some kind soul scanned nearly all of the 128 pages and uploaded it online years ago, but I cannot find a working download. Is there another kind soul out there with a working link?

Also looking for images of the coloring/activity books from The Real Adventures series, including a few that were apparently only available in Spanish. Any samples are appreciated!

IT'S A NEW DECADE. ADAPTATIONS AND/OR REMAKES I'M STILL WAITING FOR AND HAD BETTER HAPPEN AT SOME POINT IN THE 20s:

captain planet

jonny quest (preferably TRA, but i’ll take anything at this point)

the legend of zelda

SERIOUSLY, THOUGH. GET A MOVE ON, HOLLYWOOD.

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest coloring books, c. 1996-1997

These include the three books from Landolls and five (of the fifteen!) Spanish-language books from Altea. If anyone has any information on these, especially the Altea books, let me know!

reading TRAJQ fanfic inevitably makes me think of who i would cast in a live-action movie (which i'm still eagerly waiting for hint hint nudge nudge)

and then i realized i couldn't think of very many young hispanic actresses who could play jessie and I WAS APPALLED \O.O/

i mean, isabela moner off the top of my head because god knows i love that girl to bits, she's so good

but i had a hard time thinking of any others, so i did what any enterprising fan would do and started up the google machine!

apart from isabela, i have settled somewhere between daniela nieves and julia goldani telles. i haven't seen either of them in anything, but i watched some clips and i'd take either

heck, i'd say give it a few years and wait for dafne keen, but i'm impatient!

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest

So I mainlined the show's two seasons, and screencapped along the way. (For the love of all that's holy, these are not from DVDs.)  Some of these eps were really bad quality, picture-wise, some were decent, and about a quarter of them had audio that didn't quite match up with the video.  Fun times.

I remember being totally enamored with Jessie, because she was a girl (like me!) who got to go on adventures (not like me!) and was totally pissed when she wasn't in an episode.  At least that part hasn't changed. (Kind of like how I wanted to be Cheetara when I grew up.  Also a ghostbuster.)

For the most part, the show held up.  The tech goes from clunky to still-not-real, it was educational without being overbearing (mostly), and it was fun.  I did think it was ridiculous that every time Surd showed up, they were always shocked.  You gave this guy your computer world, and then you act surprised every time he tries to take it over.  Can't you make another version?

I also clearly watched it for the state of the art (for that time) computer animation:

The top of the line animation (most of the time it was good, just sometimes we got these...):

And of course, all the falling/dangling these people did:

The last episode involved ghosts and tentacles.  Because why not.

To sum up:

Man, that pink jumper thing Jessie wore was ugly.
