This week sees the release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Now, Transformers started out as toys, but for me (and so many others) it was the cartoon that really got me into them. After all, that’s what the show was made for: to make the Transformers popular so that they could sell the toys.
Mother of the Bride Review: This movie is an embarassingly silly and crigny watch with no soul or substance.
The Guardian Of The Monarchs Review: This documentary evokes a profound sense of sadness as it sheds light on the shortcomings of investigations and raises crucial concerns regarding the perils confronting environmental defenders.
Thank You Next Review: This is an engaging and introspective watch about modern dating and the depths of relationships.
Morning JL - Nice list but I can't agree with all of it. Tom and Jerry was my most loathed of cartoons when I was growing up. I would have rathered JEM was on instead cause at least they were "Truly Outrageous" and they rocked it with their guitars.
I do love the idea of a Live Action Voltron or even Thundercats.
Not a shabby list overall, but on the whole just about all of these would have to remain in cartoon form. Only a could would really transition into live action decently enough.
Daria would be interesting...I suppose, but I think Juno is about as close as we should get to it, and hell yes to Pirates of Dark Water! I loved that cartoon. Hell it's still on Boomerang occasionally and I still watch the crap out of it.
I'm going to throw out these as well:
SWAT Kats
Thundaar The Barbarian
Gosh, I know there's another one on the tip of my tongue but I can't think of it!
Tom and Jerry would bring in the $$ I'm sure but making it PG-13 with the more subtle adult jokes the series had early on might be a shot in the foot as far as money goes.
Animated movies geared towards older kids/adults don't really perform well do they? I'm thinking of Rango as a recent examble.
Although I'm sure if they made it a movie like the originals my dad would go nuts over it.
Maybe cartoons should just stay cartoons and I loved Tom and Jerry! My favorite was Mighty Mouse if and when they showed it. They need to leave some decent cartoons just as they are for the kids to watch....they can't all be movies but if I had to pick one I think I'd like to see The Pirates of Dark Water.
My favorite cartoon to watch when I was younger was Mighty Max, but I doubt anybody remembers that one. I also had a soft spot for Gargoyles.
