I miss the trend of properties aimed at adults getting a cartoon and toy line aimed at kids. It was silly and bizarre but a part of me wishes it would have continued to this day
ITT cartoons that where adapted or comics adapted from adult-aimed movies
Would The Real Ghostbusters count too?
>>81665244
Eh, it wasn't rated R to begin with.
The transition doesn't stand out as much as, say, Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm.
>>81665893
A cartoon based on a movie that was based on a video game. Can we go deeper?
>>81666032
it was also Quan Chi's debut
I guess? Only lasted one season I think
Wed probably have Mad Max these days.
>recurring sketch character on SNL
>got a cartoon
How the fuck did they expect kids to know who this was?
>>81665893
If Police Academy counts, so does Ghosbusters. Both had blowjob jokes.
>>81666241
It's a shame this was so poorly thrown together, a Little Shop cartoon is kind of a neat idea.
more of this babe, NOW
There was a lot of jank in this series, but they somehow made it work.
>movie beetlejuice was basically the villain
>movie Lydia was a secondary character who arguebly commits suicide in order to save the main characters from Beetlejuice's plans
>cartoon has them as BFF's and has its own canon
Blew my fucking mind when I actually got around to watch the movie
>>81666620
I think the only episode I remember with some form of clarity is that one where he goes to a bad future. The bird's a statue, and his love interest is turned into a lizard person.
>>81666698
Me too. The only things they had in common were some names, Bettlejuices appearance and the fact that ghosts existed. And the snad worms.
>>81666617
Not much for it. This is one of those cartoons older than fanart, and without enough of a cult following to produce fanart now.
On the plus side, live action Callahan is hot too.
Let's not forget the Ace Venture and Mask cartoons.
Also, Dumb and Dumber.
Had the toys and the genesis game.
Did Troma work out some sort of licensing deal where it got not one, but two of its properties turned it no kids series? I would of loved to have sat in on the sales pitch for that
>OK frank we're going to turn two of our obscure, ultra violent exploitation b-movie franchises into Saturday morning kids cartoon complete with a toy line! And one of em is going to be a Captain Planet-style environmental edutainment
Remember when they were going to make a cartoon based on Aliens? Wonder why that fell through.
>>81666996
Had the toys for this. Had no idea they where intended as a tie in for a cartoon. Neet
>>81666996
Aw shit, I want to see that.
Tried googling and found the Lost Media Wiki page for it. Pity; I was hoping they've released footage somewhere.
>>81667084
The Kenner toy line for Aliens and Predator were the fucking best. They were a definite highlight of my childhood.
>>81664384
I loved all the police academy comics! Strangely enough, I don't remember the cartoon, despite the comics being base on it.
>>81666478
That Pee Wee guys is popular, who could we sell to kids that is sort of like Pee Wee.
>>81664384
Just imagine it today.
Saw, the animated series.
The Human Centipede (three people get fused together in a genetic accident! They fight crime!)
>>81666698
Lydia a cute
>>81667634
>>81667634
>The Human Centipede (three people get fused together in a genetic accident! They fight crime!)
I like the way you think
What current IPs aimed at adult could make good cartons and wich ones would not?
>>81669209
The only recent big action movies I can think of that were rated R are Mad Max Fury Road and Deadpool.
Deadpool's already known to the kids: hell, my 6 year old nephew is a Deadpool fan (and my sister has said in no uncertain terms that there's no way he's seeing the movie for a long time).
A Mad Max animated series could be awesome for all the wrong reasons.
>>81669521
It would certainly be easily merchandise-able.
>>81669209
Mad Max and The Fast and the Furious come to mind.
>>81669548
>All those potential car toy sets
WB is just burning money not making a Mad Max cartoon.
>>81669776
Heck, Fury Road had the perfect plot to turn into a series.
Max and Furiosa leading a ragtag bunch of misfits in their search for the Green Place. Meanwhile, they're pursued by the evil Immortan Joe and his War Boys.
Along the way, Max and Furiosa find many small settlements, each with their own problems that must be solved, and lessons to learn.
>>81666478
Well, Ed Grimley started out on SCTV which wasn't on at midnight but probably would still be a bad choice for kids.
>>81666032
Of course there's also Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game
>>81666953
There was a musical in my hometown not too long ago.
>>81666510
Police Academy had way more casual racism jokes, though.
>>81669776
>>81669548
If Motorcity wasn't able to get a toyline going I have serious doubts Mad Max would.
>>81666177
No, wasn't his debut in that weird Sub Zero focused platformer that I never finished?
>>81669209
John Wick
Each week John and his dog have to fight a new crime group in order to get his car back.
Rambo! Lets turn him into a GI JOE clone!
>>81669209
Mad Max obviously.
>>81669209
Gone Girl.
Every week, Ben Affleck gets accused of disappearing his wife, only for it to turn out she was rusing him well and proper.
Inception: Dream Blasters
Constantine and Friends
The Misadventures of The Fly
Thinf Force
>>81669209
Mission Impossible. We haven't had a spy cartoon in a hot minute.
>>81666953
what was the other?
>>81671576
Well, Quan Chi in the Cartoon was just some random bad magic dude. He just looked the same. Also, it appeared earlier.
Mythologies was where all the traits he had were actually developed. In Live Action.
>ctrl-f
>no Chuck Norris
Not even trying, /co/

Funny, the original movie was rated "G", but there's man-ass, maybe a titty, humans being killed and strung up like deer (with grinning apes posing for pictures) vivisection, threatened castration, socio-political commentary minor bad language (you'd have heard much the same on Star Trek:TOS)...yeah, there's a fair amount of mature material + straight-up nightmare fuel.
>>81671691
Alternatively, every episode his Dog-of-the-week gets murdered by someone, and he dishes out unholy vengeance upon them.
>>81666953
It may have happened for a toy deal. That was how Eastman and Laird were talked into the TMNT cartoon, it was the only way they were going to get decent toys made. I remember having a few of the Toxic Crusaders action figures.
>>81665244
>that time Robocop got turned into RoboApe
>>81670350
so a kid friendly version of Hokuto no Ken, but without the martial arts and more driving and guns?
Where's Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? Step it up /co/!
>>81669209
21 Jump Street
>>81666925
>Let's not forget
Anon, I remember the crossover episode.
>>81674110
maybe you guys won't believe it, but as corny as this series was, i remember two good episodes about it. one was about re-discovering a library, and another one was about the mc turning into some kind of warlord due a lot of weird situations.
Troma should have made a Nukem High cartoon, but make it Nukem Jr high!
>>81673314
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_PrRd-Y56c
It aired on Fox Kids. Never watched either of the movies
Maybe not "for adults" but Back to the Future was defintly in that PG-13 area and not nessarily "for kids" even if it was popular with every age group.
And if you think about it due to time travel shenanigans the story potential is endless. Odd that it didn't last long
>>81675714
>>81677027
There it is!
>>81666953
I remember three things about this.
1. The themesong, of course.
2. The plant guy had control of plants, and used this power on a nuclear power plant, because plants.
3. I saw Toxic Avenger movies at the video store and that lead me down an awesome path.
>>81671691
Make the dog talk and you got yourself a del
>>81669209

Saw.
>>81676976
I don't think any good parent would let their children watch something Troma related. It would have next to no ratings.
Swampy at the time wasn't that well known as a super hero character despite having existed since the 70's and, at the time, was still running the more adult orientated Alan Moore Vertigo run. I think most people knew it from two low budget live action horror movies that came out in the early 80's. But since everyone was getting a toy line and a cartoon at the time, what the fuck not. The show only last 12 episodes but the toys where pretty sweet. Oh and he fought against pollution like every other cartoon did at the time

Look at that promotional image. Who do you see? Doc, Marty and Einstein.
Who were the actual protagonists of the cartoon? Doc's kids. Doc was barely a secondary character and Marty showed up only like once every five episodes.
>>81674470
I will never escape the impulse to him this song.
>>81666996
Rumor has it that the failure of Aliens 3 killed it.

>>81667084
dunno about a cartoon, but there was a pretty great Aliens comic going at the time (the Kenner toys even had their own little mini-comics included). They later mashed it up with the Predator in the comics because FUCK YEAH, which is why we also got those sweet Pred action figures and eventually those rad as fuck AvP games on PC and in arcades.
That was a glorious time to be a kid into monster movies.

Yes. You have a cast of kids trying to figure out his nonsense before recess is over or... They miss recess!

Motorcity didn't have a car with a man doing a sick guitar riff on the outside.

He had two movies and a live action TV series to his name, that put him above Wonder Woman and the Flash at the time.
