So, in the tradition of movie-hybrid threads of months past, I present this alliterative effort - What if Hollywood tried to more intensely target the toy-buying audience? Not the parents, of course, but the 4 to 10 year-olds that control the real buying power. Kid’s cartoons meet Hollywood live-action.
Days of Thundera - Lion-O leads the pack as an up and coming young racer.
Along Came a Spider-Man - J. Jonah Jameson hires a profiler to track down Spider-Man’s real identity, making up wild claims about a kidnapping.
From Here to Eternia - Prince Adam struggles to find acceptance amongst the warriors of his father’s army, and finds solace in the arms of prostitute Teela.
Nobody? Nobody? Yikes. I go out of my way to think up a game for you folks, and… nothin’. [Dangerfield]No respect, no respect. [/Dangerfield]
Well, I have a couple more:
I, Go-Bot - a shady corporation has rolled out a new model of cybernetic assistant that can transform, but all is not as it seems. Can Will Smith stop Cy-Kill and his cronies with the help of Leader One? (And the obscurity award goes to… )
Clear and Present Dangermouse - When a situation gets out of hand with Latin American cartels, the U.S. has to call the U.K., to solicit the services of the greatest secret agent in the world. Crikey.
Bram Stoker’s Duckula - Young Lucy’s family owns the largest garden in all of London - attracting the attention of a mysterious mallard from Eastern Europe.
Bringing Up Baby Dinosaurs–Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn use recombinant DNA techniques to clone a whole passel of sentient, baby dinosaurs. Madcap antics ensue.
Pride and Pokemon: The ambitious young Ash faces greater and greater obstacles in his quest to become the world’s best Pokemon trainer. How far will he debase himself and his Pokemon in his quest for the ultimate title?
The Red Badge of Cobra: Mark Patterson, a down-on-his-luck unemployed steelworker, is approached by a mysterious stranger named “Fred” who promises him wealth, power, and adventure if he joins a secret cabal of terrorists. Will Mark accept the badge?
I think it’s more fun if you post a description and someone tries to guess the movie title. For example:
Julia Roberts plays a hooker with a heart of gold. She must choose between the millionaire, who wants to take her off the streets, and her good friend Ducky, who has supported her through good times and bad.
Tom Hanks leads a band of young soldiers to rescue a mysterious human-machine hybrid from the future. The hybrid turns out to be an extremely attractive woman who wants to assimilate them all.
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle A fighter down on his luck in working class Philadelphia learns self-reliance and courage from a giant cartoon moose
The Road(runner)Warrior The madcap adventures of a bird and a coyote in a post-apocalyptic world
Dances with Smurfs After being posted to the Dakota wilderness, a lonely Army officer (Kevin Costner) befriends a local Smurf Tribe.
Scent of a Caveman A prep school student needing money agrees to “babysit” a blind Captain Caveman, but the job is not at all what he anticipated.
Jason and the Wheeled Warriors - Everyone’s favorite masked machete-wielding maniac gets a boost to his arsenal when he discovers a garage full of buzz-saw equipped vehicles.
The Man in the Iron M.A.S.K. - The secret twin of King Louis XIV stays locked in prison by day, but by night he leads a team of crime-fighters with armored transforming vehicles.
"Hot Wheels of Fire" – Just exactly the same as the B-movie Wheels of Fire except it introduces a new line of cars with topless women tied spreadeagle on their hoods.
THE TRIAL OF LIZZIE MCBORDEN (kinda a cartoon- there’s definitely merchandise!)- Jr. High girl Lizzie’s parents are found axed to death & she is the prime suspect. But if not her, who else could it be? The brooding Semitic platonic boyfried? The ethnic spitfire galpal of dubious sexuality? Or the spastic spikey-haired kid brother?
