So over the years I've thought it would be cool to make Live action remakes of Animated TV shows and Movies. I have a small list of my picks. Anyone else have a list of their own?

Here's mine:

Shows:
Beavis and Butthead
Futurama
South Park
Captain Planet
Kim Possible
Cowboy Bebop
Dragon Ball Z
Batman Beyond
The Jetsons
He-Man

Movies:
The Iron Giant
Sword in the Stone
Titan AE
The Incredibles
Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Please list ideas that haven't been thought of yet. Keep out all of the Disney live action remakes that have been created.

Many could be really cringey and base breakers.

In the '90s Johnny Depp as Butt-Head could have been amazing.

Sword in the Stone was announced.

I'd watch these:

Beavis and Butthead
Futurama
South Park
Cowboy Bebop
The Jetsons

Really want:

He-Man
Dragon Ball Z
Captain Planet
Batman Beyond (some variation on it anyway)
Mighty Max

The problem is translating th aesthetics and looks of an animated show into live action isn't easy and it may very well allienate the original fans, who would be the main target audience of the movie. The concept sounds great on paper but I'm skeptical of putting it into practice.

yes true but I think if they find the right cast and crew they will do a good job such films as The Flintstones(1994),Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) or Mr. Magoo(1997) and maybe even Scooby-Doo (2002)didn't loose much of the characters spark when played by live action actors.

I think those few films did a pretty decent job at making live action films of their animated beginnings, not like Dragon Ball Evolution which sucked ass big time
