So what you're saying is that the Squeakquel would make slightly more sense if, instead of attending a normal human high school, the Chipmunks had to attend a special high school with other talking animals? Now that's a movie I want to watch.

"They tried to keep the original spirit of Yogi bear instead of modernizing it for the younger kids." Oh, believe me. Yogi learned to avoid the massive landmine of modernization long ago.

is my 4th wall breaking an exception?

"Breaking the 4th wall will get you nowhere." Unless you're Deadpool or Lobo. :D

"Breaking the fourth wall will get you nowhere." Say that to Spaceballs, Deadpool, Chowder, House of Cards, Fight Club, Monty Python's Meaning of Life, Wayne's World, Wolf of Wall Street, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

And then Age of Extinction came out.

This guy looks like he belongs in Channel Awesome.

Okay, let me try to explain why they went with CGI for Rocky and Bullwinkle and live-action casting for Natasha, Boris, and Fearless Leader: because CGI for humans back in 2000 was BAD. Very bad. If Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within hasn't dated all too well, then there's no way the movie would date okay had they rendered the cartoon humans as CGI. As for Rocky and Bullwinkle, while they could (and should) have rendered Moose and Squirrel as 2D (so they can justify the gag of the 2D weasel getting killed), they made them CGI in order to give them actual depth when regarding their interactions with humans. Of course this is all negated with Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but you know...

This guy reminds me of Josh from Drake and Josh

The Animated Films based on Cartoons are WAY BETTER THAN THESE, in my eyes. for example The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Abracatastrophe (Fairly Odd Parents), Rugrats Movie and its sequel Rugrats In Paris, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Mr Peabody & Sherman (2014), Wild Thornberrys Movie, Hey Arnold the Movie etc

actually, i found adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle a great movie adaptation. That's the only movie adaptation of a cartoon that THEY GOT RIGHT they put the humor over the actual story and the jokes, like the show, are purposely really good and occasionally really bad. They did the same thing with the movie

"Breaking the 4th wall will get you nowhere". You might want to tell that to Deadpool.

Michael Bay can't make movies for shit

Even though it's not being released in theaters, I am scared that the Live Action Kim Possible is going to fail.

Is it sad I bought an Alvin and the Chipmunks cd when it came out in 2007? I was 7 years old don't judge.

*OHHHHHHHH BOY!!!!!!!! WERE GONNA GO ON A SWELL ADVENTURE!!!!!!*

The first alvin and the chipmunks movie was ok. But the other movies are shit. And theres a fourth one on the way.

To be entirely fair to Revenge of the Fallen, the “Terminator” was actually rooted in Transformers lore. She’s what’s known as a Pretender. They were introduced near the end of the first generation, and they were known for having humanoid “shells”. Such fan-favorite characters as Bludgeon were actually introduced as Pretenders.

I would love to see the Nostalgia Critic review some of these movies.

I actually liked the Transformers movies, not the story, not character, but the fight scenes

"They're all the same film" That's because Michael bay doesn't know how to make an original work.

did he just use a clip from the phantom of the opera? you are officially my new favorite critic

This Comment Will Never Be Read.

Watch the Nostalgia Critic review of Rocky and Bullwinkle. He surprisingly calls it a very faithful adaptation of the cartoon, right down to the fact that the story and characters are just an excuse to make jokes which even then, some are good and some are bad. He says that's what the cartoon is and that's what the movie is.

I'll admit, I still enjoy Inspector Gadget, the Chipmunk films, and Yogi Bear.... but they've got nothing on the original shows. Nothing will ever top the original shows.

My thoughts on these movies: 10. It's too nostalgic for me to hate or dislike it. 9. I thought it was funny. (Oh, and in the scene at 7:08, I think he did it that way on purpose to parody the cliched and overused apology scene.) 8. I've never seen it, not sure if I want to. 7. Michael Bay should just stop. 6. The first one was already way more than enough. 5. Am I the only one here who didn't think it was that bad?

"And MUST have a threatical release" Damn it, I wanted The Shitty FOP movie to be on the list :(

I feel bad... The squeakqual was filmed at MY HIGH SCHOOL

I know everyone hates The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle but man, it's a guilty pleasure for me.

Cartoons should not have live action adaptations, PERIOD!

"If it can kill the reputation of Mario and Zelda, then surely it can kill the reputation of a cartoon moose and squirrel." Leslie Nielsen: It sure can all right. And don't call me Shirley.

Tom and Jerry: The Movie deserved a place on this list, but that is entirely animated

waaaaaaiiiiit... Alvin and the chipmunks were a CARTOON?! I never knew that.... ._.

#6- Brace yourselves. ANOTHER movie of the Chipmunks (Chipshits) is coming out in Christmas of this very year.

“Breaking the 4th wall will get you nowhere” *deadpool would like to know your location*

well get ready for the fourth alvin and the chipmunks movie which at this point is really only being made just to cash in on more pop culture and make money

My responses to the list: 10. I actually barely remember seeing this movie when it first came to theaters. I was only 6 and didn't get what was going on. A couple of years later, I saw the actual show and adored it, laughed uncontrollably, and so on. I still love it - though I hate cliffhangers. When I remembered that a movie was made about it I thought, surely it wasn't that good. I wasn't invested when I saw the trailer, and the movie certainly didn't grab my attention as a kid. 9. Even though I liked this one a bit, I really hated the squeezed in environmental message that got rushed. I don't hate the message itself, but it was done in the most cliched, predictable, and loudly unsubtly in your face way that I couldn't help but hate it. I enjoyed the bears and laughed at the species lady, but the rest was………….eh or ugh! 8. Haven't seen the cartoon, but good grief, did it really have to teleport to our world? Thanks to other movies "based" on cartoons, I can already count all the cliches that come from that! Someone stop making crappy movies based off of more original cartoons! 7. Also haven't seen either movie or cartoons, but my sister keeps telling me that at least the first movie was really good. From what everyone else says it seems like if the rest of the movie was fast forwarded to the action scenes nobody would miss the story. Am I right? And doesn't Optomis Prime die in the cartoons? 6. THANK YOU!! AND INCLUDE THE OTHER MOVIES TOO!!!!! I tolerated the first movie, second kinda tolerated (hopefully the other sequels will be mentioned for how horrendous they are). I don't care if these guys are so cute and adorable I despise them! Even Papa, who grew up with the cartoon, said that this movie makes them so unrecognizable from what they originally were. Way to go, movies! 5. I eventually saw some episodes from the show and was having fun, though I still would like to know why Penny couldn't get gadgets, and I could listen to Dr. Claw's voice all day! This movie……………….Matthew Broderick, why? I know can be great and he's trying, but good grief I don't know if the writer is to blame, the director, or him. And I'm going to go with what the Nostalgia Critic said and say that Rupert Everret is not Dr. Claw! Oh and here's one more spit in the face on the cartoon: Brain in the end credits actually gets voiced by the original Inspector Gadget. Though I actually heard the sequel (though very panned by critics) is actually closer to the original cartoon than this movie was, like Dr. Claw is not revealed.

Fun Fact: Inspector Gadget was supposed to be Lupin the 8th. Glad that wasn't a thing.

11: Jem and the Holograms (2015)

A he-man movie WTF?

Funny thing about ranger jones is that he’s played by TJ Miller, who would give one of his better performances 4 years later as Fred in Big Hero 6

Am i the only one who thought Age of Extintion was worse than Revange of the Fallen

Honestly I didn't mind The Adventures of Rocky and Bulwinkul maybe because it was based off one of my favorite shows or because of that cameo from Kennen and Kel

I actually loved the Alvin and the chipmunks movies They were part of my childhood

"YOU WILL SING FOR ME NYEH" maybe inspiration for papyrus saying nyeh heh heh

Jem and the holograms would have been on the list if it was out when he made this

To reference Animat's question of this movie, why were Rocky and Bullwinkle CGI-based, the weasel was hand-drawn animated, and Fearless Leader, Boris and Natasha live-action? I know that they were trying out computer animation back at the time it was released, and the humans were meant to be played in live-action, but it doesn't make sense.

10 extra points to Animat for the phantom of the opera reference!

When he said he didn't know there was a spy version of Sex in the City apparently doesn't know about Charlie's Angels

I just noticed that Shia labouf was in transformers

T.J. Miller IS a good actor half the time. In Yogi Bear, he just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible and didn't try to emote properly because the studio forced him at gunpoint to star in this movie and they'd give him $3 million.

Breaking the fourth wall will get you nowhere Tell that to Pinkie Pie and Deadpool

"So do their appearance depend on how they came into the real world?" That is actually an interesting theory.

I actually like "Inspector Gadget" a whole bunch. It has all the components I find attractive in a movie and I still remember scenes from it to this day that make me laugh, and I even think it balances trying to be its own thing while still faithful to the spirit of the cartoon, albeit slightly more "local." I don't know. I just really like it.

Well to be fair, it was supposed to depict Gadget's first days on the job. The awkwardness is probably a testament to the fact he's not used to his new body yet.

I actually liked the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie! However, I hated 2 and 3. They were just....bad. I HATE THE CHIPETTES!!!! Grrr, they make me mad.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has amazing potential as a movie series. Its comic book roots portray it as an intriguing sorcery/science mishmash adventure, combining barbarism with technology and boasting a wide range of unique characters, from aliens to cyborgs to wizards. If writers took this one step further and introduced modern CGI and a darker, more serious tone, the results on the big screen could be simply amazing. "but no hemans gay he es nacked lol" - Internet

This list should be updated with Jem and the Holograms somewhere.

It's odd that the host thinks it's ludicrous that The Chipmunks are attending school. In the cartoons they attend school only it's grade school.

minor note: Alvin and the chipmunks started as a novelty music 'group' in 1958. (and already had a (less known) cartoon in the 1960's)

I will personally vouch for the rocky and bullwinkle movie. It was a very faithful adaptation that kept true to its nonsensical story material it had to begin with. The cartoon had a very simple premise - fearless leader had an evil scheme which Boris and Natasha would try to carry out, and while they are mostly oblivious to all of the schemes in some of the deadly plans, rocky and bullwinkle end up saving the day. It was heavily vocally based with very little action but it was made up for in sharp wit. The movie was pretty close, upping both the intense wordplay and some of the action. It even took a jab at itself for knowing that roger rabbit came out before it, and they know the live action/animation movie idea has been done before. Overall the movie had a very dedicated cast and crew that knew what rocky and bullwinkle source material deserved in order to make the movie greater as a result.

Man, I'm glad this video showed up in my recommended. I have quite a bit of nostalgia for this video, even though it's not that old.

You my friend have earned yourself a subscriber! You're hilarious man!

To be fair the chipmunks do attend school in the original animated series. Although, I think they were in elementary in that one. And we see them attend school in their animated film, Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman. But, I do agree that Alvin should not have been trying so hard to be popular and fit in with the football team because like you said they're freakin famous and you'd think those football players would want to be seen hanging out with international famous pop stars and asking for their autographs instead of making fun of Simon and Theodore all the time. Also while I have admittedly never seen the Inspector Gadget cartoon even I could tell the live action movie was bad and I think I know why it was so bad and apologies ahead of time for the trite answer. The main reason I believe the live action Inspector Gadget movie is so bad is simply because it is live action. Face it, there are reasons why certain special effects only look right when done in animated format. This is also why when those same effects are transferred into a live action movie that they come off as cheesy. We need only to look at all those cheesy live action superhero/wizard shows Disney and Nick throws at us as further evidence of this fact. Also you can get away with a heck a lot more in cartoons than you do in live action. These reasons among others are the reasons why 90% of the time live action film adaptations of cartoons and videogames will never work out right and why fully animated movie adaptations have a higher chance at succeeding. Bottom line: if you attempt to recreate a popular animated show especially one that is old in live action format you will fail 90% of the time and that is me being nice. This move is also almost as bad and as stupid as transforming a popular, highly acclaimed action show into a watered down comedy. Almost.

I will say this about the Transformers movies. Say what you will about whether they're good or bad, you have to admit that the scores for them done by Steve Jablonsky are really well done.

Transformers 2 suffered from the writers strike. And Michael Bay had apologized about the movie and tried to fix the mistakes with the third movie. But he did not learn any of the mistakes when he made Transformers 4 & 5. And I hope to never experience those movies ever again. But Steve Jablonsky's music in those movies were on fire.

This is one of the first videos I ever watched from you. Such nostalgia!

I think they did two major flaws with Inspector Gadget. What made Claw work as a villain....what made him scary....was YOU NEVER SAW HIM. You just see the arm and hear the creepy threatening voice and that was enough. In this one, he's just clearly seen and he acts ridiculous so you don't take him seriously as a villain. And they couldn't even get a blonde girl to play Penny.

Personally really enjoyed Adventures Of Rocky and Bullwinkle. A lot of critics did too.

When I was watching the 25th anniversary concert of The Phantom of the Opera with my dad, and the part in 11:43 came up, I stg I nearly started dying of laughter because it made me think of this video

So basically The Peanuts movie is the only movie (as far as I know) that is actually appreciating it's original source material and successfully tried.

did you know that the main decepticon, Fallen, is voiced by Tony Todd, the Candyman himself

...Harrison Wells was in Yogi Bear?!?!?!

What are you thoughts on that cgi Gadget cartoon?

"He sounds like a used car salesman than a politician..." What's the difference?

I'm ashamed to say I saw #9 in theaters 7 times

You know you have a shitty and forgettable movie if I ACTUALLY wonder if I've seen it or not. (Yogi Bear)

skeletor of the opera ftw

Hannah Barbera’s race track in their graves just got bigger with this Velma show

How come I know EVERY freaking song you play in the background in ALL of your videos!

Wait, Justin Timberlake was in the Yogi Bear movie!?

4:57 - 5:13 That's something Teen Titans Go needs to learn.

You kinda forgot about yogi bears alternative ending where Bobo ends up killing Yogi and he becomes a carbet

I hope to God that we don't get a live action Danny Phantom movie.

Optimus Prime's death in the original animated film was done so much better. Great score that went along with the scene that made me feel like a friend dying in front of me

have you seen what nickelodian did to the chipmunks recently look it up its a fucking tragedy

TBF with the villain of Yogi Bear. Andy Daly does do a lot of car salesmen commercials so that's probably why he sounds like one

*Breaking the 4th Wall will get you nowhere* Deadpool: *Am I a Joke to you?*

You should team up with the Nostalgia Critic.

I've not seen yogi bear but isn't that the guy who plays the scientist in The Flash?

Masters of the Universe is one of those movies "thats so bad its good". Delicious 80's cheese. Same with Flash Gordon.

When I look back on Yogi Bear... Oh look! Tom Cavanagh! He acted in The Flash! xD

it's a great list, but where's Garfield the movie?

"Breaking the 4th wall will get you nowhere." Say that to Pinkie Pie and Deadpool.

I'll admit. The first Inspector Gadget Movie is one of my guilty pleasures, and the most memorable scene is the "obtaining the balls" scene

7:34 "He sounds more like a used cars salesmen" *Cough* *Cough* Donald trump

Hey look guys, Harrison Wells worked at Jellystone.

Sadly, Rocky and Bullwinkle's movie was how i got in to that show. And when I saw the real show I was like "what the heck...?"

3:46 tbh that was actually funny. It was a funny line, a funny delivery, had a good timing, even the awkward silence made it work

I thought the first Alvin and the chipmunks movie was decent.
