Biker Mice From Mars
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs (I'm VERY surprised that's never been done, honestly)
Gargoyles (hey, Disney's starting to bring back old school animation. I don't think it could be pulled off in live action)

There's a TinTin in the works, due 2011.Rob King said:
Directed by Spielberg (I worry, I really do. He does as many terrible pictures now as good.)
Voiced by Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Jamie Bell, Cary Elwes, among others.
------------
How about an Ultima series of films, with Richard Garriott playing the role of the King.

Already have had movies, while Pokemon is too huge as an anime (the year the first Pokemon movie came out, it profitted more than most)filmfanatic said:
Johny Bravo and Freakazoid are relatively small and unknown compared to most cartoons. So Im guessing its either Thundercats/another He-man movie, or a Ben 10

Thats why I mentioned that Pokemon had an anime movie. :slywink:
Nintendo will never sell Pokemon when they have a money-earner in their own anime movies. However, dont be surprised if a shitty Zelda or Metroid movie get made.

You just lost all credibility with that statement. I don't know what cult made that movie a hit but lock them up and keep them away from society. I'm assuming they are all into Hello Kitty and worship Tara Reid.Shegokigo said:
There is no movie that follows the Hollywood formula better than this one (actually it's more along the lines of a bad TV sitcom). Denise the Menace would have been awesome had I been 5 when it came out. I'll give you Scooby Doo it was bad in a "we know this is going to suck" way like the Brady Bunch movie. The first Transformers kicks all their back ends. You're welcome.
I know that Pokemon and Sailor Moon have had films, but I do think we'll see Hollywood try to make live-action films out of them in the States. With Power Rangers, as I said, I could see them doing a reboot and just take things back to basics.JCM said:
As to Johnny Bravo, there were actually plans for a while to make a movie out of it. It would have starred Dwayne Johnson and been about Johnny Bravo going on a road trip to try to find his father.
Actually, Ben 10 has already had two live action, made for TV movies produced. One for Ben 10 and one for Alien Force.

If they could find a proper way to do Reboot I would love to see that.
My other childhood cartoons would make terrible movies. I don't think there's any way to properly put Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Popples, or Doug in live-action movie form.

They are supposedly working on some more ReBoot movies. They already have an online comic.lafftaff said:

If done right, a live action Samurai Jack movie would be epic.

It would be very hard to do right.Wahad said:

I googled that and instantly recognized the toys. I can't remember a thing about the series plot, characters or anything else, but I remember the toys and their interchangeable parts.Aisaku said:
How did I not think of this, that would be amazing.ThatNickGuy said:
With who? You? Someone who thinks Transformers was a succesful movie about something they didn't even feature? I'll take that as a compliment.Steve said:
I have no idea how you associate those two things with Josie, I REALLY don't.Steve said:
Guess you missed the part where I said a successful family film, you know the kind, the ones that don't have a ton of curse words and even more violence.Steve said:
Welcome for what? Proving my point completely? Well thank you then.Steve said:
I have always been a huge fan, I own the entire series on DVD and watch them every couple of months. I used to think this couldn't be done either, but after watching Sin City and The Spirit, it's obvious that stylized live action can be done, it's just hard to pull off everytime.Mr. Lawface said:

Okay now, that's the one which I don't really want to see them try. Not because I don't think it would turn out well, but just because of the sheer quality of the original series.Mr. Lawface said:
Besides, Makoto "Mako" Iwamatsu, the voice of Ako, has been dead for at least 2-3 years. It wouldn't be right without at least HIM returning from the original cast.filmfanatic said:

I remember it fondly as the closest thing we got to Star Wars in the saturday morning cartoon era.figmentPez said:
Also, it was written by J. Michael Straczynski. Of course I didn't knew back then, that's what wikipedia's for.
I totally forgot about Gargoyles! Such an awesome show.PhantomShadow said:
I still don't understand how any of this hurts the original of anything. If this were true, William Shakespeare's plays would be the worst shit ever written.filmfanatic said:
You see, because it is adapted over and over and over and is still some of the greatest writing of all-time.
I don't think a live-action Samurai Jack film would hurt the original series. I guess that best way to phrase it is that it's just great how it is and I hope to see it stay like that.Charlie Dont Surf said:
If they ever do make a live-action Samurai Jack film, I'll end up seeing it. It's just a show that I would have seen better as animated than brought to live-action.

I don't think Samurai Jack would work as a live-action movie because so much of what makes it great is the highly stylized artwork and animation.
I would love to see a really well-done, big budget Lupin III live action movie.
