these were originally cartoons for a
reason welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down the top 10
worst live-action movies based on
cartoons gentlemen there’s been some
kind of a mistake just to keep things on
the level
we’re omitting films based on adult
centric cartoons like Aeon Flux number
10 scooby-doo kicking off our list is
the flick that reintroduced the popular
60s cartoon about a gang of mystery
solvers and they’re talking dog this
flick sets the bar low for other
live-action CGI hybrids with its ultra
cheap effects stiff acting and painfully
dull script it’s also too scary for kids
too stupid for teens and completely
unwatchable for anyone else even
longtime fans see scrab stories are free
calling a jerky try to kill all humanity
I’ve gotten away with it too if not for
your feelings
number 9 Fat Albert this adaptation took
a beloved 70s cartoon and turned it into
a bloated Hollywood project aimed at an
audience unfamiliar with the material
you know what would have been better a
straightforward animated update but
instead we get the tired old gimmick of
cartoon characters being transported to
the real world
see that’s who we are yeah
we’re coming out on diffident let’s dip
it it I don’t know
don’t start uh-huh sure it’s inoffensive
but boy is it lame the best parts of
this movie the actual cartoon bits
Albert you can’t go what caught toons
and this is our show number eight
underdog the rhyming superhero dog is
brought to life in this film based on
the classic 60s TV show unfortunately
the Disneyfication of this franchise
means that all the elements that give it
character are gone including the
newsreel narration Campina s– and humor
aimed at all ages you know what maybe we
should see other people
he thinks it would be better if they saw
other people she says for all she cares
he can go eat great people eat that too
Hey instead the film is directed towards
only the youngest film goers who would
probably be happy no matter what the
talking dog does
underdog got fight number seven Garfield
the movie I hate mondays based on the
popular comics and cartoon about a fat
lazy lasagna loving orange cat this
movie epitomizes got awful CGI
live-action hybrids even with Bill
Murray I think I’m going to blow cat
ciao ciao
sucking the wit and intelligence from
the source material this preschool
affair fails to fill its short eighty
minute runtime with anything worthwhile
worst of all its success at the box
office made room for similar remakes
like Alvin and the Chipmunks thanks a
lot Garfield yeah hit the floor number
six
Dragonball Evolution it’s criminal that
this film does not capitalize on any of
the things that made the series of
phenomenon considering its rich
background in manga and anime how hard
is it to capture the appeal of magical
wish-granting balls a fierce champion
and his battle against alien invaders
why create a cliched and overly tame
action flick that only demonstrates
Hollywood’s inability to reinterpret
Easterns material let’s stop you both
have to stop number 5 the Flintstones
yabba-dabba oh my god what did they do
The Flintstones was a 1960s sitcom about
the modern Stone Age family and it was
bursting with charm and humor
despite perfect casting like John
Goodman and Rick Moranis the live-action
remake only achieved the look of the
cartoon and never manages to capture the
feel also they lose us when they start
making jokes about adultery what a
surprise number four mr. Magoo if
there’s one cartoon that’s best left in
the past it’s this 1940s comedy series
about a blind old man this short-sighted
flick makes a feature-length attempt to
amuse audiences with max ten minutes
worth of jokes not even Leslie Nielsen
can redeem this script which is nothing
but filler and handicapped jokes that
are so offensive Disney had to add a
disclaimer you know what I came here for
you know what I want give it to me ha ha
ha
you modern women you’re so direct number
three Inspector Gadget this is what
happens when characters and plot are
swept aside in favor of
headache-inducing hyperkinetic special
effects packed with a never-ending
barrage of product placements this
painful remake also features desperate
comical violence and sexual innuendos
making it inappropriate for children and
off-putting to everyone how’s your
central vallecula equilibrator feeling
feels pretty good and how’s your auto
axle lubricator functioning its
functioning fully but miss casting
Matthew Broderick as gadget is the worst
offense which is made even less
palatable by the scenes with his
irritating replica
number two Masters of the Universe
did you grow up watching he-man did you
ever imagine that his feature film
adaptation would transport him and his
friends to California neither did we
Dolph Lundgren’s he-man needs the help
of a waitress to find his way home
between Franklin jelas Grimm
interpretation of Skeletor the
ridiculous effects and the flicks overly
serious tone this remake succeeds at
nothing more than confusing audiences
and for fiying fans number 1 The Last
Airbender taking the top spot on our
list is the M night Shyamalan adaptation
that tries to condense the first chapter
of an unforgettable cartoon into one
film while also taking major liberties
like swapping character nationalities
and turning bending into some sort of
dance Shyamalan also fails to replicate
the cartoons ability to bounce between
comedy action and drama but what stings
the most is that Airbender could have
been the next Star Wars
