I went to see Polar Express a couple of weeks ago and saw a movie trailer for Fat Albert - it's going to be kind of similar to the
Brady Bunch movie in that the characters are living in the present day but seem to be stuck in the 70's.  Bill Cosby has a cameo in it and it's supposed to open around Christmas.  :)

I'd like to go see it when it comes out since I used to love Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids as a child - I remember in one of my grade schools they used to show Fat Albert short films on the projector (in the pre-VCR era) as educational tools.

Hey 80's fan, Thank you for that little sexy cartoon- it speaks volumes. What is she doing - it looks like she's wiping her lips.  Is Reuben Studdard playing Fat Albert?

from what I've seen that guy from Keenan and Kel is gonna play the role of Fat Albert as Bill Cosby will play a cameo in the film.I might go and see that with Robin.It looks like a funny movie. ;D

Former "All That" actor Keenan Thompson is playing "Fat Albert".

Personally, I think the movie would be a flop. No offesnse, but I doubt many kids today are familiar with the cartoon. "The Brady Bunch" & "Scooby Doo" had been rerunning a lot for the past 30 + years and their remakes were hits.

Hey woops,we'll just have to wait and see.Maybe Keenan will play a convincing Fat Albert.They also re-did Rocky and Bullwinkle years ago. ;D


Howard

I saw an ad for the movie on tv last night and he looked like he had kind of a fat suit on.

Acccck!!! Don't mention the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie!  >:(  I am a big fan of the original TV series, and the movie based on it wasn't all that great!

A good example.

Since the "Fat Albert" movie is a few weeks away, it's too early to dismiss, IMO.  :)

December 14th will see the release of a dvd collection of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids best episodes.  It will be a four dvd set so it may be pretty good; early reviews are positive.

I was a little skeptical of this at first.  Scooby Doo and other animated to live action transfers have not impressed me much.  I hope that Kenan Thompson will make the character his own rather than try to re-do the animated version.  Brendon Fraser did  pretty good job of making George of the Jungle his own and it worked out well. IMO  ;)

Eddie Murphy could've played Fat Albert but that would have to mean Eddie would have to shave his mustache cause FA never had a mustache. ;D

Josie And The PussyCats
Rocky & Bullwinkle
Mr.Magoo

Maybe we can name some others that were cartoons in the 70's and were re-made 30 years later into films. :)

Is there a cartoon in the 70's they've never even made before or thinking of being made? ???


Howard

How about Superfriends?  That would make a good live-action movie.  :)

Stretch Armstrong

or they could remake that cartoon where you had a big dog in a small doghouse and a small guy.Can't remember what the name of it was. ???



Howard

I think a live action "Jetsons" movie could be made.  :)


Though Danny DeVito would obiviously play Mr. Spacely.  ::)

then who'd play the role of George Jetson? It would have to be someone with orange hair and Danny Devito would most definitely be my pick for Mr. Spacely. ;D


Howard

Captain Caveman
Smurfs
Stretch Armstrong

those could be made into remakes. ;D

Smurfs? Live Action  ::) or Animated or Both?

I think Keenan Thompson fans will go see the movie!  There is a big Nickolodeon fan base.  He was on All That and Keenan and Kel.  Plus Cosby fans will go.  It may just work out.  I saw the commercial this morning.  Does anyone know who else is in the movie.  Of course the clips are short, but I thought I saw Aaron Carter and Kyla Pratt.  Of course it was EARLY in the morning and my eyes may not have been too focused!!  ::)

Live Action. ;D


Howard

like what other cartoons from the 70's should be made into live action films with human characters playing the parts? ;D


Howard

I liked Inch High Private Eye, thatd be a cool movie.

Speed Racer

Baggypants and the Nitwitts

Cumm Cumm (about a little boy livingin the stone age)

Yogi Bear and Boo Boo

Im not sure what the name of the cartoon was, but I think it was called Stop The Pidgeon. It had mutly in it (the dog with the athsmatic). They chased a pidgeon while flying in old planes.








All these would make good movies, IF done right.

I agree.  Great idea.

There was a RUMOR of this.  I would stay tuned.

That was called Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines.  It followed Wacky Races, chronologically speaking that is.

Live Action. ;D

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.....  ::)

I'm thinking somebody could play Dastardly & Muttley as actor and as a talking dog.Where would you find an actor well suitable to play Dastardly? ;D
