Why are live-action movies based upon animated series so hated much...?

[Chloe R]

I did enjoy it a lot-- I absolutely loved how they created the cartoony look in real life!

Hey I don't mind live action movies based on shows, if done right. I hate it when they do movies on my favorite series when they screw it up.

Man, have you seen the Flintstones car at the 2008 NY Auto Show? I want that thing.

I think it is mostly, as someone I think mentioned, the animation and artwork which really makes the cartoon special and that's what' the audience is used to so when they see the 'real life' thing, it spoils their fantasy of it. Also it's a bit like books being adapted to film, it's not always what you imagined it to look like which can spoil it. And again, some things just don't translate effectively from one medium to another.

 

[Ever wonder WHY?]

Imagine crusin' down the motorway in that thing! Would be sweet. Unless it's windy and raining.

I think that it is because that it is hard to get animated charecters accuratly with live action people. I liked Flinstones and Scooby Doo but that is because those were similar to the show.

With the gas prices so high, this would be the best way to get around these days since it's foot powered.

I thought Transformers was an excellent movie.
