Some Cartoons that Are Based Of Movies


Honestly guys the title of this post pretty much says it all there's really nothing more i could add to it but i will say that i found out about alot of strange shows while doing research for this so here we go.

Little Shop (The Little Shop Of Horrors 1960 Film)


Yeah remember when i said i found out about a lot of strange shows this is one of those shows i mean why would want to produce a show for kids of a black comedy where people die it makes little to know sense but clearly someone thought it was a good idea.

Return to the Planet of the Apes


I didn't mention what this show is based of because it's in the name of the show but i do have to admit unlike Little Shop this one does at least interesting it's meant to be more based of the original novel then it is the long running film franchise but at the same time it kinda looks like Jonny Quest to me.

RoboCop: Alpha Commando


I have to state that there was also another Robocop animated series but that one was in the 80's this one came out in the late 90's but this show apparently had even less in common with the original films so chances are it's kid friendly which makes me ask the question why would they turn a violent and gory action film into a kids cartoon? this really does make no sense at all.

Extreme Ghostbusters


I'm choosing this one over The Real Ghostbusters just because that show is so well known where as alot of people either don't know about this one or like my self forgot all about it. I have to say that people gave the reboot of Ghostbusters alot of hell for having an all female team well Extreme Ghostbusters was the first to do it because they had a female on their team.

Pink Panther and Pals



Again i don't need to say what film this show was based on as it's right in the title but this show took the lame approach and made it about a teenaged Pink Panther and his pals and The Pink Panther is the only character from the movies to appear and he wasn't even the star of the movies.

The Mummy: The Animated Series



Out of all the shows i've mentioned this and Extreme Ghostbusters are the only one's i've watched and their also the shows i've forgotten about just based of Wikipedia i can say that this film is set after The Mummy Returns (the last good mummy movie) but before the dreadful third movie and for the most part it does have all the characters their but voiced by different actors.







Black Lightning "Pilot" Review


Well then guys a new DC show is here so let's find out if it's any good or if it's destined to fail harder then Justice League and since this is only the pilot episode there will not be a rating.


The basic plot of the episode is Jefferson Pierce aka retired superhero Black Lightning must come out of retirement to save his daughters from members of The 100 gang (no that's not the name for fans of The CW's The 100). I admit i'm glad that they didn't do the origin story for the pilot episode it would have been so easy just to tell that story for the pilot so i give the show credit for doing something fresh and different.


The episode stars Cress Williams , China Anne McClain , Nafessa Williams , Christine Adams , Marvin "Krondon" Jones III , Damon Gupton and James Remar. For a pilot episode the acting was pretty decent i wasn't really expecting the acting or the chemistry to be any good since it's a pilot so the chemistry won't be there right away but i believed all of these actors in these roles and i will say that China's acting has improved since her days on A.N.T Farm.

Damn the suit looks good i havn't read the Black Lightning comics but damn does that suit look good in live action it has a very metallic look to it and it kinda reminds me of the suits from the first Power Rangers movie in that respect and i like the fact that it has two bolts of lightning on either side that just looks so freaking cool.


The special effects so far aren't the show's strong suit there not bad but they look fake i get that this is a pilot episode so i'm not expecting better effects until at least season 2 (this is The CW we all know it will get picked up) i really was better effects from the team behind The Flash.

If your a fan of the arrowverse i'm sorry to say but for now this show is not apart of that world this is something the producers have been saying and it's something that people in charge of The CW have been saying also this show films in Atlanta, Georgia and the other shows film in Canada but that doesn't mean that the show can't become apart of the arrowverse like Supergirl did in season 2.


Overall this was a decent pilot episode it's not as good as the pilot for The Flash but it's still better then most pilots and i'm not commenting on the action just because there really wasn't that much but i will say that based on the ending i like where this show is going and i highly recommend you check it out if you get the chance plus i don't really like the theme song used in this episode.
