ZeldaQueen The weird oily guy would be pretty gross...

pac-man Biker Mice from Mars would be badass if they made live action and rated R.

ZeldaQueen Eh, maybe you're right. Most of the humor did come from it being cartoonish.

What about Biker Mice from Mars? Heck, there were plenty of little-known but pretty good TMNT-based cartoons.

pac-man No live-action for Freakazoid! It wouldn't come out like you're picturing it in your mind.

ZeldaQueen Oh, I would LOVE a live-action Freakazoid movie. That series was the best! And then they cancelled it.
Dec 7th, 2008 09:24 AM
Durrsomething Freakazoid. With Will Ferel as Freakazoid, that fat kid from Superbad as Fanboy, and Alan Rickman as The Lobe and Weena Mercator as the hopping woman

Tadao I think they may have done one. Oh wait, not a full 15 mins though.

Jeff The Ninja I wouldnt mind seeing a Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law Short done in live action.

That's a tv series, I believe. The movie remake's for 2010 (on IMDb).

ZeldaQueen I think they're getting a Captain Planet movie made. Hang on *checks*

Apparently in late 2007 Ted Turner was in talks for one.

homor Captain Planet.

featuring a cameo apperance from Al Gore.

Bahmo On that thought, I was always skeptical of the notion of a live-action Underdog, because they'd need to reinvent a few basic principles. The original cartoon, for example, had a lot of characters who were furries. Having a large cast of anrthopomorphic animals doesn't really work in live-action.

It's different when there's just one or two anthropomorphic animals, as was the case in Scooby Doo, and would be the case in Jabberjaw, because there, a human actor can stand in there, to be digitally-altered later, and interactions between him and the cast aren't really much different from how a human would do it.

I, for one, would pay to see Jabberjaw adapted. Or maybe not, but it would be amusing.
I agree with you. Depending on what the source material is, you actually might not want a movie to be faithful to it. In the sense of Scooby Doo, the movie actually made fun of the cartoons to a certain extent (the voodoo guy commenting on how Daphne always wears the same kind of clothes, etc).

One cartoon made into live action that I liked very much was that Popeye movie that Robin Williams was in. It felt like a Popeye cartoon was actually thrown onto the screen.

You do know that Toxic Crusaders was the cartoon version of the gorey B-movie series Toxic Avenger right?
Yes, I know it. It's not very much like the source material though, so it's not like a live-action would be a remake.

BLEU THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.


...seriously though, as much as I want to believe that other article, my money's on it being CGI. That's just how kids movies work today. I don't even think a Thundercats movie would be good! I just want it for the nostalgia factor; my brother and me used to watch it every afternoon after school on Toonami. Shit was so awesome.
