@Ronka: Why not? Aren't they pretty much the new masters of absurdist satire?

I'd quite like another (more up-to-date) Mario cartoon. grin

I'll probably be laughed at for suggesting this, but I thought Ezio Auditore would make a decent animated character. smile

A traditionally animated Zelda movie would be great if it did two things: Follow in the footsteps of Thief And The Cobbler and have a mostly silent Link and do it's own story rather then try to cram one of the games into a movie. A new story placed somewhere on the game timeline.

Mario just screams for a 90s Disney musical or something.

[up] One thing I've noticed from his work is that he does an excellent job creating a scene with limited dialogue. That's why he would do well with characters like Link and Samus.

A Darker and Edgier Batman cartoon on Adult Swim in the same continuity as The Dark Knight Trilogy, with Kevin Conroy as Batman and a few other Batman The Animated Series voice actors returning as their Dark Knight equivalents.

I remember hearing somewhere that Sega DID open up an animation studio. So it could be possible.

Well, Stuck would be great as an animated teen comedy (or three) but that is a discussion for a completely different topic.

A animated Scott Pilgrim TV show or (less likely) a movie would rock though.

oh, that's why I need this binary mind //

I'd love to see Thousand Year Door adpated to a cartoon.

Also OOTS seems pretty obvious.

^^ Have you seen this? It's from Book 2 or 3, I think. Cera works pretty well as a voice actor.

I wonder why they couldnt go for the fully animated route for Scott Pilgrim since the live-action film feels like a cartoon. Probably the fact that nobody would see it as an animated film.

^ I think at least half of the people who saw in in theatres were already fans, so probably not the latter. Plus they showed the movies at a bunch of comic conventions.

^I know a few people who are fans of the comic saw it working as an animated film. but I was talking about the people who werent fans of the comic.

^ Personally, I don't really have anything against the live action. Mary Winstead looks and sounds incredible as Ramona, even though Michael Cera isn't badass enough to quite pull off Scott.

I'd also love to see Superstar Saga get a stop-motion adaptation by Aardman or Laika, with Edgar Wright doing the script. I'd be hilarious to see how Fawful would translate, he'd chew more scenery than he already did with a Text Box!

Skulduggery Pleasant in stop-motion animation ala The Nightmare Before Christmas. And I'm really digging the Harry Potter suggestions.

Maybe I just have lowered standards, but I never understood why Wayside was so hated. I mean, it's not an amazing adaptation of Louis Sachar's books but overall it certainly wasn't as Adaptation Decay as people made it sound. At best, it's sort of a Pragmatic Adaptation.

A decent animated Conan The Barbarian would be amazing. Seriously, just start at The Phoenix and the Sword, go all the way through to The Frost Giant's Daughter, and maybe have a Myth Arc over that. If it needs more than a season, start adapting the Conan stories Robert E Howard didn't write.

A big budget Lord of the Rings animated with twenty episodes a season (each season being a volume) with the story kept as true as possible and without any white-washing of any of the darker themes or violence would be heavenly.

Recently, I imagined of a Mickey Mouse show NOT aimed for Pre-schoolers, made by the staff of Phineas & ferb and having a variety animaniac-like format. It'd be awesome!
