80’s Cartoons that Could be Huge Blockbuster Movies

While waiting to watch “Fantastic Four- Rise of the Silver Surfer” this weekend I saw a preview for “Transformers.” As a child who grew up with 80’s cartoons, I’m very pumped about that movie. It looks like they did it right.

That got me thinking about other 80’s cartoons that I think would be awesome movies (if done right). Here’s are some that came to mind:

  • He-Man: Masters of the Universe: No doubt about it. This is just begging to be a big summer blockbuster. The key is to do it right and base it on the 1980’s cartoon and not the Dolph Lundgren He-Man movie. With the advancement of CGI this could be off the charts. Who would play Adam/He-Man? I don’t know but he’s got to be just as muscular as the cartoon like the size of Hulk Hogan. Perhaps there’s a bodybuilder or professional wrestler out there who fits the mold. My wife would add that She-Ra should either be in it or have her own movie.Captain Caveman
  • GI-JOE: I’m surprised this hasn’t been done already with the rise in popularity of military-based movies. Good vs. Bad, explosions, war. What more could a dude ask for?
  • Captain Caveman: I see this as more of a comedy but hey, if the Geico Cavemen can get their own sitcom on ABC, why can’t there be a movie about “Captain CAVEMANNNNN!” I vote Steve Carell for the role of the Caveman.
  • Thundercats: I’ve heard rumors that this is already in the works. Cool…
  • Rainbow Brite: This one’s for the girls- but why not? The show was on 20 years ago and I still see merchandise with Rainbow Brite on it.

Any others?
