What 70 / 80's Cartoon do you want to see a live action movie of?
 
Since Transformers and Gijoe have already been made, and Ninja Turtles and Jem are next. What other cartoons would you guys want?

I'm posting pics, just to jog some memories.

He-Man - Masters of the Universe

I think it would be cool if they made it look in the style of this guys art: Spoilers for size.

They should get David Milch and Co to do Bravestar as an unofficial continuation of Deadwood.

Cannon did what they could with that in the 80's. I thought they did a lot to make the fantasy stuff work. I still think it's a pretty good movie. When I'm in the mood to watch it.

Robotech/Macross would probably be easy to adapt. Military themed, giant aliens, strong character list, giant mechs .... they'd fuck it up.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was originally a comic book before it became a cartoon, and the 1990 movie is closer in tone to the comic than the cartoon. The sequel was more like the cartoon.

The fact that someone in Hollywood saw all the anticipation and excitement for a Voltron movie when the teasers came out for Cloverfield and still haven't made it into a movie is beyond me. That's just leaving money on the table.

I grew up in the '60 and I think two would be great in live action.

Space Ghost
Jonny Quest

It would also do huge money in Japan. I think there are tangled rights issues, since Voltron was a hacked-up version of a Japanese show.

Not sure when it came out but in the mid 90s Inspector Gadget had a son that had a show called Gadget Kid or Gadget Boy. Only saw like 2 eps, not very good.

Another Masters of the Universe is actually in the pipeline. Jeff Wadlow (Kick Ass 2) was hired to write last week.

Screw the "Justice League" movie, I want "Super Friends!" That truly is a great solo super hero.
