Yes, it’s perhaps inevitable that someone decided to come up with a list of animated shows that are desperately needing to be updated with a live-action film.Why animated shows can’t simply stay animated is a concept that is apparently to mind-boggling for some, especially those in Hollywood but especially all those people who continue to buy Smurf merchandise.
Seeing as the idea will never, ever die and that I would never, ever compile a list of my own, here’s the 5 from Zac Shipley’s list on Powet.TV with a quick blurb on why it should be so.
5. Cowboy Bebop
With SciFi so common in the summer movie season, and the popularity of good guys who are kind of bad, clinching the success of Bebop as movie wouldn’t be hard.
4. Thundercats
…the revamp produced for Cartoon Network shows how much potential the concept has.
3. Gundam
It’s popularity in Japan and the US for decades has made me wonder why it hasn’t been adapted into a huge movie series.
2. Daria
Daria was a strong female character, as was her friend Jane. Their attitude could easily be written off as overly sarcastic and hipster crap in today’s society, but in the late 90s it was a breath of fresh air when ever show about a teen was overly positive and unrealistic
1.The Venture Bros.
My most wanted since it is easily my favorite show produced in the last decade and any excuse to talk about it I’ll take.
Thanks for the link, but our site is powet.tv. note the mispelling.
Woops, sorry Zac. Monday morning, etc. etc.
All fixed now 🙂
