[terry78]

80's cartoons, people.

 

[TNC9852002]

Hey, Alvin and the Chipmunks wasn't too bad...I'd say they have a chance!

I think Thundarr or the Herculoids would be great.

[The Guard]

I'll second BRAVESTARR.

 

[terry78]

Haha, Bravestarr would just be funny. A CG anthropormorphic horse with a shotgun.

 

[Dangerous]

Heathcliff

 

[.Rorschach.]

Paw Paw Bears

 

[Dangerous]

Something I've been percolating on for awhile.....

When eccentric billionaire Scrooge McDuck goes missing, his former pilot, the well-intentioned yet accident-prone Launchpad McQuack sets out to mount an ambitious rescue effort, convincing his since-retired crime fighting compatriate Drake Mallard aka Darkwing Duck to lend his investigative expertise, along with his now grown daughter Gosalyn (who unbeknownst to her unapproving father has taken up the persona of Quiverwing Quack, the current defender of St. Canard). Complicating matters are Darkwing's longtime Superhero rival (and now McDuck Enterprises VP) Gizmoduck (aka Fenton Crackshell), who launches his own much-publicized campaign to rescue Scrooge, in ways often counter-productive to Darkwing and Launchpad's efforts, at times placing Gizmoduck (and his own team including his colosally inept sidekick Superdoo / Doofus Drake and the renowned scientist Gyro Gearloose) and Darkwing in direct combat with one-another. Another source of tension which threatens to destroy the unity and resolve within Scrooge's own family occurs as his great-nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie each compete in an attempt to woo Gosalyn, while their Uncle Donald becomes increasingly frustrated with all parties involved.

The Darkwing Returns, or soemthing similar. Live action might be tricky, but there could be some kind of third way, in the vein of 300 or Beowolf, and possibly have Jim Carrey as Darkwing, Sean Connery as Scrooge, Mel Gibson or Bruce Willis as Launchpad, and Brad Pitt as Gizmoduck.

COPS would be pretty sweet, espescially with a lot of the futuristic effects that could be used. I see Ridley Scott directing, Denzel Washington as Bulletproof Vess, older and slightly authoritive, Will Smith being not subdued enough. Maybe Brad Pitt again, or Matt Damon, Nicholas Cage, etc.. as Longarm, with either Joe Pesci, Danny De Vito, or maybe De Niro even as Big Boss Man, with choice supporting roles such as John Malkovich or Christopher Walken as Dr. Badvibes and Chazz Palminterri possibly as Buttons McBoomboom.

You really been thinking about this huh? I like the scrooge McDuck story.

Welcome to the hype as well.

 

[3dman27]

fangface [that was 80's wasn't it?]

 

[Kokoryu1]

Centurions or Silverhawks.

 

[Lex Luthor]

Obscure?

"Drak Pak" comes to mind.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

He-man for me would have the best chance to be a hit now a days. With the special effects abilitie to place it on eternia. With all the wildness from the vine jungle toe the ice mountains and the dragons of dark smoke.

He-man can be made very scary at some parts and show humor and not gay humor.

It was my favorite 80's cartoon, then Transformers the GI-JOe.

If it was made right i be happy.

Thanks Tyler. The Pirates of Dark Water would make a kickass trilogy also. It combines all of the great themes of so many recent succesfull franchises. Pirates of the Caribean's sea battles and creatures, Lord of the Rings journey in gathering the treasues with a band of co-horts each with their own agenda and motivation, and Star Wars' ordinairy young man predestined to liberate an empire from tyrany and return it to it's former greatness. Orlando Bloom or Christian Bale could play Ren with Michael Clarke Duncan as Bloth.

 

[terry78]

And Steve Buscemi as Nibbler.

 

[Kokoryu1]

How about the Cowboys of Moo Mesa?

 

[phillyboy]

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

 

[terry78]

STARCOM, mother****a!!!

[tyler-durden]

I'm a child of the 90's so alot of these shows are flying by, I seriously don't know what you guys are talking about but I think Cowboys of Moo Mesa were in the 90's.

 

[hamato yoshi]

The Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa was one of the best of the bunch. Hands down. It was done by some of the same minds behind Ninja Turtles. It was a western with anthropomorphic animals falling into the standard western roles. I hope it comes on DVD soon, because it was quite a show.

 

[tyler-durden]

I know of Cowboys of moo mesa, but I was thinking they were in the 90's.

 

[gkokujin]

He-Man
Bravestarr
Silverhawks/Thundercats
Spiral Zone
Centurions
Wheeled Warriors
Robotix
She-Ra

One of my favorite shows. I was pissed off they never found all the treasures. If they can have Biker Mice from Mars continue it's cartoon with new episodes...why not this.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Dark Waters was a kick ass show. I think it had a pre-Superman of JLU George Newbern as the lead character's voice.
