Which classic cartoon series would benefit from a big screen showing?

Asked by ucme (50047points) March 21st, 2010

We’ve had Scooby Doo,Inspector Gadget & others but which should be made now?Maybe Honk Kong Phooey or The Hair Bear Bunch how about Great Ape.What would your suggestions be.To clarify it would have to be a live action version with CGI thrown in. Similar to the scooby movies.

“Cartoon to big screen” rarely goes well. The original media is almost always superior because it is closest to the original vision.
That and we’re moving beyond the time that 60–80’s cartoons are being remade anymore because the interest in waning.
Did anyone really need to see “Speed Racer” just because the Wachowski brothers decided to make a Matrix Racing movie?
I’m done with the remakes. I want new stuff.

I remember seeing Bugs Bunny on Broadway, which was essentially a huge screen cartoon presentation with a symphony orchestra in the pit playing the music from the original sound tracks. I have never forgotten it; neither have my kids.

Thundercats ftw

Weird trivia of the day – James Lipton wrote the Thundercats theme music.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Yogi Bear.

It looks like they already have a live-action/animated film in the works. According to Wikipedia, Dan Aykroyd will be the voice of Yogi, Justin Timberlake will voice Boo Boo, and Christine Taylor will voice Cindy Bear.

@UCME Betty Boop was originally drawn as a dog. Where her earring sit were ears.

@shego That fits.

Chongalicious's avatar

@shego I’ve heard that before! But I never saw the dog version of her; I heard they didnt do much to the face except add human hair and lips.. weird.
