Must- Watch Cartoons Adapted from Live- Action Movies. From merchandise to insane amounts of product branding, Hollywood is constantly looking for ways to expand the reach and appeal of their movie properties. That’s why it’s no surprise when they take a popular live- action film typically meant for adults and turn it into fully animated cartoon series meant not only for kids but also many adults. Just like feature films, some of these animated adaptations turn out to be so good they were must- watch after school or Saturday morning material for every person who loved and appreciated cartoons.

For most shows, the cartoon medium was a way to explore a movie’s universe that just couldn’t be done in one or two (or seven) movies, while generally keeping show topics light- hearted. There have been dozens of cartoons based on movies, and these are the 1. The Real Ghostbusters (1. There’s no better way to start this list of great cartoons than with, what is arguably, the greatest movie- adapted cartoon series in history – The Real Ghostbusters. The show was co- produced by Di. C (creator of hundreds of popular cartoons) and managed to run longer than any other series on this list – amassing a staggering 1. The show was popular with viewers because, while being funny and entertaining, it didn’t stray far from its live- action roots – bringing most of the characters from the big screen to the little one.

All the regular guys – Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore – were there, but one important cast member was added to the regular rotation – Slimer. The omnivorous, floating spectre became such a popular character that in its third season, the show was retitled Slimer! Real Ghostbusters and the little green spirit was given his own spin- off episodes within the series. Rambo: The Forces of Freedom (1.

The Army veteran- turned- mercenary with a penchant for violence, John Rambo, isn’t the first thing someone would think of when adapting a movie into a children’s cartoon, but that’s what makes Rambo: The Force of Freedom so good – it goes against the stereotype. Rambo, a character based on David Morrell’s best- selling novel First Blood, was only supposed to be a 5- part miniseries, which then turned into a daily cartoon, only to be canceled later that year. This explains why the show managed a whopping 6. The cartoon had everything a young (typically male) viewer could ask for – a tough American hero, a group of highly- trained mercenaries each skilled in a different field of combat, megalomaniacal bad guys with big, dumb bumbling henchmen and of course, lots of explosions. Unlike G. I. Joe and other cartoons from the eighties, Rambo didn’t include a PSA at the end of each episode.

Beetlejuice (1. 98. Director Tim Burton lent his executive producing services to this fantastic animated series based on his hit film, Beetlejuice. This series is a great example of how an animated show can properly explore and expand a movie’s universe. It follows a young goth girl Lydia Deetz (played by Winona Ryder in the movie) as she summoned her best friend and ghostly con- man Beetlejuice, to take them on wacky adventures through both the Netherworld and, occasionally, the real world. The show ran for an impressive 9. Animaniacs and Phineas and Ferb cartoons, Beetlejuice was not just popular with kids because of its sight gags and fun wordplay, but it also entertained adults with its smart parodies on books and movies usually considered more oriented towards grownups – such as, Brigadoon, It’s a Wonderful Life and Moby Dick. Police Academy: Animated (1.

If you ever need help solving a crime then you’d definitely want this loveable, bumbling police force from the Police Academy to be there. The team of officers are straight from the movies: Mahoney and his human noise maker partner Larvell Jones, the accident prone Sweetchuck, the imposing Moses Hightower, the soft- spoken Laverne Hooks, the bazooka- wielding Tackleberry and his main squeeze, the gorgeous but deadly Callahan. Over the course of 6. Captain Harris, the gang is either solving a caper or foiling the dastardly plans of the Kingpin. The creators took a decidedly classic approach to the animation and the heist stories were reminiscent of old Scooby Doo cartoons. Unlike some other cartoon series in this list, Police Academy: Animated keeps with the continuity of the entire franchise – 7 films and a 2. TV show – by taking place between the fourth and fifth films.

Sucker Punch is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Brigadoon is a musical with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, and music by Frederick Loewe. Songs from the musical, such as "Almost Like Being in Love", have.

The only change made was the addition of a group of talking dogs, known as the K- 9 corps. On a personal note, the opening theme song was performed by 8.

The Fat Boys – and it’s fantastic. The Mask: The Animated Series (1.

In the early nineties, several of Jim Carrey’s classic comedies found their way into cartoon land: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber and The Mask. Of those three, only The Mask was worth watching. For three seasons, Stanley Ipkiss and his dog Milo used the mysterious, magical mask to defeat his arch rival Pretorius and his bevy of henchmen.

Like Beetlejuice before it, The Mask relied heavily on sight gags and wordplay humor – much to delight of fans, young and old. A couple of minor changes in canon were made from the movie – Stanley can use the mask during the day (he could only use it at night in the film), Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz’ character in the film), is noticeably absent, while bad guys Niko and Dorian Tyrell (who died in the film) fail to make an appearance in the show.

The Mask was also fond of spoofing other properties, most notably Marvel and DC characters. Though the sexual innuendo from the film was obviously removed, the show wasn’t without controversy.

One episode, “Flight as a Feather”, was never aired in the US because it featured an exotic dancer, Cookie Ba. Boom, being stripped naked by The Mask (watch the scene HERE.)Jumanji (1. Watch Alex &Amp; Emma Full Movie. Only six movies in 1. Jumanji. It’s comes as no surprise that an animated version of the show would hit the airwaves less than one year later. Most of the original characters found their way from film- to- cartoon: Alan Parrish (the man trapped in game while playing as kid), Judy and Peter Shepherd (the brother and sister who find Alan while continuing the game he started years ago), Aunt Nora (Judy and Peter’s aunt), Officer Bentley  and of course, main villain big game hunter Van Pelt. The show was popular enough to warrant 4. Each episode found the three main characters – Alan, Judy and Peter – trying to solve a clue or searching for Alan’s clue, so that he can solve it and get home.

Unlike other cartoons, Jumanji has a finality to the over- arching story of Alan being trapped in the game – writers allowed him to eventually read his clue and escape in the final episode. Men in Black: The Series (1. After finding success in the both the comic book and movie markets, Men in Black turned its aliens- among- us storyline into a very successful cartoon series. Unlike other cartoons, continuity from film- to- comic wasn’t important, as only a handful of aspects were kept for the TV series. Characters and personalities, such as Agent J, Agent K and Agent L, were brought over but they kept almost none of their backstory. However, those changes didn’t affect how the show was received by viewers, as they watched the M.

I. B. of Division 6 protect not only the planet from alien onslaughts, but at times, also the galaxy. Adding to its quality, Men in Black brought in the voice talents of Tony Shalhoub as Jeebs, Adam Baldwin as Agent X, Vincent D’Onofrio as Edgar Bug and Eddie Barth as Frank the Pug. The first three seasons of the show aired as part of the Kids’ WB Saturday morning lineup, with the fourth season becoming a daily afternoon show.

Unfortunately, as popular as the show became, it never found an audience in the home video market. To date, only the first season has ever been released on DVD. Roughnecks: Starship Trooper Chronicles (1.
