Cartoons Based On Films

[diet_orange]

Was watching the Jumanji cartoon earlier today and was thinking about this topic

It's always fun and interesting to see how stuff got adapted. It also seemed like in the 80s (as well as the 90s), every violent R rated movie (Rambo, Robocop, Police Academy, Toxic Avenger) later got a cartoon series

Really wish the one for SGT Kabukiman NYPD got picked up

 

[zerodayhx]

technically Batman TAS is based on one of the older batman movies

 

[MorriganW0lf]

Van Helsing The London Assignment (Prequel to Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing) is one of my favourites, tells what happened with Hyde before the movie, also "The Mummy Animated Series" which served as a continuation to the first two Brendan Frasier movies.

Omg I loove that Jumanji cartoon and the 90's film!

The Spooktacular Adventures of Casper is my pick, oh and the 1995 movie it's based on is Fleshie Fun!

Spider-Man: The NEW Animated Series is so damn good. It's a crying shame that it only got 13 episodes. The mature tone and setting was and still is a breath of fresh air for Spider-Man media. While the models have aged a bit, it looks much better than a lot of its peers given the comic style cel-shading. The animation on Spidey is also a wonder to behold, he is so flexible and fast, like a Todd McFarlane or Mark Bagley comic brought to life.

This show needs more love and a blu-ray release.

No surprise that I'm the one mentioning it but The Real Ghostbusters is excellent. It basically defined my childhood.

Beetlejuice wasn't bad, either.

So may I ask, do you like the Casper movie? lol

[BanchoQueen]

I don't remember much of it but I remember watching a lot of the Evolution cartoon. And also a lot of the movie, still love it.

Yes!

Spoiler

But mainly for Cathy Moriarty turning into a giant ghost woman

I also badly wanted one of the toys that Tyco did for it, mainly Stinky

 

[nunchuk28]

the Jim Carrey hits from the 90s all got some questionable cartoons out of them

not something I ever saw but I recently found out Chuck Norris had his own cartoon too
I guess the Hanna Barbera Godzilla already counts as a "cartoon out of a movie" but I remember the animated sequel to the dumb Hollywood take from the late 90s more vividly

and the Men in Black series had a pretty neat opening at the least, not sure about the quality of the show as I remember very little of it.

I was more familiar with Extreme Ghostbusters and yes the Beetlejuice cartoon was surprisingly excellent, but I think it also helped that Burton was executive producer

Speaking of, I was also incredibly fond of "Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command" and was bewildered that it was so universally loathed/hated by Pixar (who, need I remind you, also dumped out that turd of an origin film, "Lightyear")

Dibs is incredible lol

Lilo & Stitch: the Series, anyone?

 

[nunchuk28]

Ah yes, Disney made a lot of tv series from the 90s and early 2000s based on their movies. Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Hercules, Emperor's New Groove. I think Tarzan and Atlantis were meant to get a similar treatment but the productions were canned so they just got a "movie" out of the leftover materials from said plans.
The Lilo & Stitch show also had a lot of crossovers with Disney Channel original properties from what I remember, weird experiment looking back.
I guess Jimmy Neutron also counts as a case for this? At the least I remember the shorts promoting the movie before it was eventually turned into a full blown show.

This song slaps so hard for how meh the show actually was.

Also remembered this was a thing

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

One based on the seventies B-movie comedy/horror film called attack of the killer tomatoes.

I was actually thinking the other night if that show was a fever dream from my kinder years as I only remember watching the intro of it one time and never heard of it again since.

Those 2 are my picks as well. Both quite different from the original movie, specially beetlejuice. but great in their own right. I effin LOVED the real ghostbusters. Had the obligatory Panini sticker book, almost complete I believe (for those of you who've experienced that.)

I quite liked the back to the future one back in the day, not half bad.

My biggest beef with the Men in Black cartoon is making J's character so dumb that he needed nearly everything explained to him just so he could be the audience PoV character. All they had to do was make it so that he actually read the alien files and lists off what he knows, then K confirms it and adds his personal insight. Banger first 5 seconds on that opening theme though.
