80s Cartoons that Should Be Movies

Sometime last year my family and I went to the local theater to see a movie. During the previews we saw a trailer for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie followed by a trailer of the Transformers movie. My mom leaned over and asked me, "are they making a movie of every cartoon you watched when you were a kid?" It seems that way doesn't? Lately it's been very popular to bring back popular franchises from the 80's. They aren't making movies of all the cartoons from my childhood and in many cases that's a good thing. However there are some cartoons they should make movies of.

G.I. Joe - This is a pretty obvious one. Yes there was a G. I. Joe movie in the 80's but it was a cartoon movie, I'm talking about a live action movie. After all, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie was good despite having to film people in large turtle costumes. Now Transformers is getting its own live action movie even though the Transformers are all robots. It seems pretty obvious that G. I. Joe would be a much easier film to make since you don't need turtle costumes or full animated robots, all you need is people. Plus you can't tell me that Samuel L. Jackson wasn't born to play Roadblock in a G. I. Joe movie.

M. A. S. K. - M. A. S. K. (or Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) was a popular cartoon that was sort of an amalgamation of G. I. Joe and Transformers. The members of M. A. S. K. were a strike force like G. I. Joe but their vehicles turned into two different things like Transformers. For example you might have a jeep that also turned into a boat. This movie would provide viewers with cool vehicles, cool animation (when the vehicles transform) but would also have human actors which is a good thing because I'm afraid the lack of human actors will probably be the Transformers movie's downfall
