Hello there animation lovers when a movie becomes a hit there's one thing that studios want and that's to make a sequel but in the late eighties and early two thousands if your film was a hit then chances are it would get a cartoon series and here are my top 5 strange cartoons that are based of movies and when i say strange i mean why was this a cartoon.
5) Dumb And Dumber: The Animated Series
I put this show on here because of the fact that the original movie is like a cartoon so in a way it makes sense to turn into a cartoon but throw in the fact that this show has no plot and the fact that the show makers chose to add in an animal side kick you can quickly see why this show is odd as hell.
4) The Mask
Now on paper this should have been one of the greatest shows ever made and i can see why people would like the show but here's what this show and Dumb And Dumber and Ace Ventura have in common they all tried to replace Jim Carrey which you cannot do he made those films. Then when you add in the fact that the show ignores the first Mask film completely you can hopefully now see why i call this show strange.
3) RoboCop: The Animated Series
I don't know why this needed an animated series but apparently some hollywood producer thought that this would make a great kids cartoon so out went all the political commentary and the violence and in came lasers and bad story telling.
2) James Bond Jr.
Now if this film was set in the continuity of the movies this show wouldn't be on this list but the fact that one of the bond film producers chose to make a cartoon about James Bond and not have it feature James Bond and then have it go against everything that was all ready established is just baffling to me and this was going to be ,y number 1 choice but when i thought of what was number 1 this got bumbed down to number 2.
1) Rambo: The Force Of Freedom
The very idea of turning an R rated movie into a TV show for kids to me is stupid but if you have a great set of writers and a great crew it can work but when it doesn't you get this show Rambo as we all know has PTSD due to the fact that has a prisoner of war during the Vietnam war that doesn't even get a mention in this show here he leads a team called The Force Of Freedom and takes on the apparently evil forces of S.A.V.A.G.E and just like with Robocop they took out everything that people loved about the movies and the character to make it more kid friendly.
