That's right, the creator of the original graphic novel is teaming up with some CGI studio to do an animated movie based on the cult graphic novel and early 90's cult animated Sci-fi series to the big screen in a big screen animated adventure.

This should be interesting, i loved the cartoon when i was 10 and it rocked and i still love it thanks to Youtube.
 
Can you provide a source or a link confirming this? 'Cause a Google search on this turned up nothing but some discussions on other message boards and a Newsarama article from 2006.
 
The only recent news that I could find about Bucky O' Hare was about the original series getting a DVD release. You can read about it here.

Mcready, I'd ask what you liked about Bucky O' Hare, but I have a feeling that I already know. ;)
 
Either way, and with all due respect, I've heard that before. Jim Davis was invloved with the (live-action w/ CGI) Garfield movie, and look how that turned out.

I honestly don't mean to sound like a wiseacre, but just because the original creator is involved, doesn't mean it will be that good. Don't get the wrong idea though, if this new movie is indeed confirmed, I'll give it a chance, but in the end "talk is cheap" as they say (that, and "actions speak louder than words"). The "Cue Cullen" trope by itself is useless without an actual good movie to back it up.

For these reasons among others, if this movie is indeed being made, I just hope that it will be faithful to not just the letter, but also the spirit of the original source material (maybe even with a few elements from the TV show). I also hope that the original creator isn't willing to compromise his original artisitc integrity (adapt? maybe, but not compromise) just to get the movie to be made. In other words, I hope that "both parties" can come to some kind of agreement that takes both of them into consideration (i.e., without the whole "my way or the highway" thing). Maybe then the movie would stand some kind of a chance of being decent in both the short term and the long term.

In short, I hope it will actually be "Bucky O'Hare", and not a generic sci-fi adventure film with "recognizable characters". The industry may or may not know this, but there is a difference.
 
I don't know what you were searching for, but using this search string, brought up a Wikipedia link (I did have my doubts for a moment), which included a reference to the fact that a movie was being worked on. (This is all 2006 though)

Sadly, the link to the Hollywood Reporter article requires registration, but I trust Newsarama enough to believe the story is fully credible.



TL;DR, yes a movie is coming and yes, the original poster should have done some due diligence and bothered linking a factual article instead of providing what seemed like wishful thinking from an unreliable source.
 
I think I remember there being some CGI tests for Bucky from years back that weren't anything too special.

I'd enjoy seeing a well made Bucky movie one day but I have huge doubts that it will happen. Nothing's really happened with the "franchise" since the early 90's, during the TMNT/Anthropomorphic animal hero heyday.
 
Well i think this new movie shall do justice to the green rabbit avenger! he was one of my cartoon heroes when i was 10 and i had a crush on his galfriend Jenny who is such a cutie.

Deadeye duck was badass too, i mean he was like Daffy Duck meets Goro and Han Solo. For the new movie i think they should have Firefly's Nathan Fillion as Bucky's voice, Scarlett Johanson as Jenny, Malcom Mcdowell as the Admirel, Freddie Highmore for Willy, Stanley Tucci for Deadeye Duck, Patrick Warburton as Brusier and some others.

I got this info from the Internet Movie Database. I mean with The Transformers and GI Joe Movie movies being successful at bringing cartoons to the big screen, i think Bucky O Hare could be done right. Perhaps Sony can be the distributor and this movie will be a great comeback for the buck toothed long eared hero and his crew of anthromorphic and one human misfits.

One thing that bothers me about the show which i do adore is that could Jenny be a possible Pedophile? i mean it's sometimes hinted since she has a thing for the human kid Willy Duwitt and always kissing him, i don't mind interspecies couples but pedos aren't a good thing. Or could it be she's more like a mother figure to him?
 
I heartly agree, i was in love with her when i was 10 and still think she's cute. But do you think she could be a pedophile? i mean she's kind of hitting on Willy DuWitt the human boy, i mean he's only 11 or 12. Same problem with Barby Koala in the Sonic The Hedgehog comics as she falls for Tails who is a 8 year old kid.

Well the movie is still being processed and all, now they need a distributor perhaps someone like Sony to do this movie.
