10 Awesome Retro Cartoons That Need Their Own Movies

By Simon Beckwith /

1. ThunderCats

Everything is there from the cartoon to pick the best bits and to craft a story which blends sci-fi, fantasy and the classic fight between good and evil. Fans wouldn€™t get that though would they? And even if they did, they still wouldn€™t be happy. A fan made trailer which has racked up over 7 million views on YouTube will have to suffice for now. But Vin Diesel as Panthro? Technology in the film industry as it is, seeing actors convincingly play cat like creatures could now be very realistic (well, as a real as a human/cat hybrid can be). Thundercats was one of the more popular cartoons of the 80s and has had cartoon series revivals, so surely, one day, cinemas will ring with the call of €œThunder! Thunder! ThunderCats! Hoooo!€
