What live-action movies do you think were greatly adapted into TV cartoons?

[Brettfern]

Can you think of any more?

[Zyzzybalubah]

Only Ghostbusters for me at the moment.... Everything else I either haven't seen or hated. I liked Teen Wolf when I was little, but not sure what I would think of it now.

[Kury Wagner]

What do you mean by "greatly adapted" exactly?

I adored the Beetlejuice cartoon, and have actually been longing to see it again.

[Dr. Daedalus]

The Mask was decent on occasion; so was Beetlejuice.

[Brettfern]

What do you mean by "greatly adapted" exactly?
That you loved the animated TV shows just as much as you loved the movies.. That is what I mean

[Knightmare]

Back to the Future was fun.

I thought that the first season of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures was well.

Beetlejuice is my personal favorite.

Ghostbusters was hands down the best though great animation and excellent writing.

[King_of_doom]

I like Beetlejuice and The Mask but i have to go more with the Real Ghostbusters because it was one of the coolest shows from the 80's.

[Sr.Infierno]

Beetlejuice!

[Sharklady]

Does 'Clone Wars' count?

[Dark Fact]

Ghostbusters for sure! Man, how I long to see this series again! I wish Teletoon would show this series again! :sad:

Free Willy in the poll? Ouch...no seriously, ouch!

[Mad Monkey 7]

You forget Dumb and Dumber:The animated series and the Dukes of Hazard.

[Brettfern]

Ghostbusters for sure! Man, how I long to see this series again! I wish Teletoon
What's Teletoon?

Beethoven was alright, and was actually pretty fun. The only bad thing was the animation, but thankfully the show only lasted one season.

Back to the Future was cool, but the animation didn't feel right. Dan Castelenetta nailed Doc Brown perfectly.

The Mask was good for the CBS seasons, but the syndicated episodes felt off the mark.

Free Willy would have worked better if they hadn't turned it into an actual action adventure series. Jesse & Willy constantly fighting a Borg like creature who wants to destroy the environment may have looked good on paper, but in the end just came out a steaming pile of-

So, anyway, I voted for Beetlejuice and the Real Ghostbusters.

[Prism]

Beetlejuice and Real Ghostbusters did a great job in keeping with the spirit of the liveaction movies. And Teen Wolf and Back to the Future were fairly good as well.

It is a shame that Teen Wolf and Back To The Future did not last long like Beetlejuice and The Real Ghostbusters...

[90'sCartoonMan]

Beetlejuice was nothing like the movie, but man, I loved that show.

Back To The Future was cool because it actually used Jules and Verne as characters despite them not appearing until the end of the last movie.

There was a Free Willy cartoon? How many times can you free that whale?

[Tapout]

I don't even remember half of those, and of the ones I do I only watched Beetlejuice. That's my pick by default.

Jesse got a job at some sort of animal clinic, where he meets back up with Willy sometime after the first movie (His half brother he meets in FW2 is never seen or mentioned), and Jesse discovers he has the 'power' to talk to animals, so now him and Willy can actually have real conversations.

Meanwhile, a Borg like villain (Who looks EXACTLY like Captain Picard's Borg form) simply called 'The Machine' is traveling the seas in his underwater sub trying to destroy the environment. Willy's the one who caused The Machine's accident that turned him into a half man/cyborg, so each episode he plots a way to get revenge on both Willy and the enviroment.

It lasted for two seasons and 21 episodes on ABC in the mid 90's.

Short-lived series.

[Tobias]

Short-lived series.

Everything on ABC's schedule was short lived. Outside of 'The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show', 'Scooby Doo', 'The Weekend Special', and 'Super-friends', every Saturday Morning show on ABC in the 80's and 90's lasted two seasons or less.

[Dark Fact]

Free Willy lasted two seasons? How was that possible? :eek:

That is how long it lasted. I know nothing else about it.

That is the stupidest idea ever.

Never knew that. Did he talk or just have whale sounds? He never talked in the movie

The Mask was good for the CBS seasons, but the syndicated episodes felt off the mark.
I actually liked the syndicated episodes of The Mask (at least the one about the lucky feather) because they got away with more than what CBS did (again, see the lucky feather episode), but that's your opinion, so it doesn't bother me.

Beetlejuice was more twisted and funnier than the movie version and I remember seeing this on SatAm on my ABC affiliate and when Cartoon Network reran some episodes in a block that included the cartoon version of The Addams Family (from the 1990s).

[Lazyboi13]

Ace venture was pretty decent imo. Occasoinlly took the wackyness too far and not at the quality of a hanna-barbera or cartoon network show, but I good way of wasting half an hour.

Ghostbusters was allright but not great. I liked before I saw the movie but now I've seen the movie it just looks crap in comparison :shrug:

Plus its also a bit... slow. But then again alot of 80's shows are like that I guess.
