I've been meaning to do this list for a while as we look at the Top 10 Best Cartoons adapted from films.
10. Godzilla
The most famous monster to ever grace Tokyo has had a few adaptions over the years including some silly ones in the 1970s up to the cartoon based on the 90s American movie of Godzilla which many admit was actually better than the film itself.
9. Men in Black
Remaining faithful to the source material doesn't work for everyone but works wonders with Men in Black that relies on a certain style to maintain it's ice cool exterior.
8. Ace Ventura
The first of three Jim Carrey films on this list, Ace Ventura was probably the weakest of the lot. The idea works in context but without Jim Carrey in the shoes or being real, it loses some charm, it's still pretty good though.
7. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Another idea that works animated and they managed to get hold of the original cast for season 1, pity season 2 didn't follow the same rules. Out of all the ones listed on this top ten, this is the one I want to see return to the small screen.
6. Star Wars Clone Wars the Genndy Tartakovsky Version
A Star Wars adaption told through the artistic direction of Samurai Jack's creator Genndy Tartakovsky works wonders for a franchise who at this point was trying to win back an unsettled audience from the Attack of the Clones film. To remind you of Genndy's style, he lets the action do the talking and keeps dialogue to a bare minimum, there you go improved franchise so why get rid of him CARTOON NETWORK!!!!!????????
5. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
You wouldn't think this was possible but it actually works animated, an angry scientist makes Killer Tomatoes and you've got yourself Splatoon before it was cool.
4. Beetlejuice
While it kind of switches Beetlejuice's position from Antagonist to friend of human girl Lydia, it stays faithful to it's style and surreal horror humor that so makes the film such an 80s classic. While very much toned down to obviously suit the audience, there were enough talented writers to avoid making this bad.
3. Dumb & Dumber
The fact is Jim Carrey was on to something when he created all these characters, they pretty much act cartoonish so it makes sense to animate them, Dumb & Dumber didn't last long compared to the other two but makes the duo much more likeable than their live action film versions.
2. The Mask
Now the Mask is even more cartoonish and with his slapstick being a cross between the Genie and Animaniacs you have comedy gold and one of the most underrated cartoons of the 90s. Jim Carrey make more of these guys please.
1. The Real Ghostbusters
But for the memories, staying true to your characters, having good voice acting and being insanely awesome, the Ghostbusters win this list outright as it's pretty much the only one on this list to be picture perfect with it's adaption.
Note: So I bet you're wondering what the best Video Game adaption into cartoons is? There's only one Video Game cartoon that rules them all and has never had a bad word said against it, and you'll have to wait til tomorrow to find out.
