Would you like to see a Monkey Island Cartoon series?

[Secret Fawful]

Unless they did it kind of like an episodic show. Think LOST or Fringe style.

I can't remember off the tip of my tongue if any American cartoons have done that yet.

[dumpling321]

YES!! i would LOVE a cartoon series but ONLY if they got Dominic Armato for the voice of guybrush xD

well i couldnt find the recent post on this topic,so ill i thought ill post it again in my old thread, but i saw this short french cartoon and it appeared in the game Heavy Rain, but when i first saw this i thought, it looks like Monkey Island, and it looks like Curse style animation, but check out the video and see what you think

That Pyrats movie is AWESOME!.... Lucasarts should hire them to make a MI movie.

Wrong

Earthworm Jim - ace
Sonic (SATAM and Sonic X) - ace
Mario Bros 3 - ace
Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego - ace

A lot of people seem to like the Pokemon cartoon as well... that was a game first.

It would generate some amazing You Tube Poops.

That takes Disney off the list. Which other major studio still does 2D animation?

[Wolfstar27]

well only ones i can think of are Japanese Anime studios, but Dreamworks might be able to have a crack at it, although Steven Speilberg did atempt a Monkey Island movie in the first place, (for people who dont know,Speilberg owns dreamworks)

Really? I think it'd would just find. I mean, surely Guybrush has gone on smaller adventures, in search for less important treasures and fought lesser enemies than LeChuck. An animated series would be almost perfect for showing these adventures. Plus, they could create an overall story arc for the season anyway, or just make two or three-part episodes.

Small Whoop?

[Cyphox]

i don't like the sam&max cartoon from fox that much, too childish, strange voices, where's this useless geek-girl coming from and so on, so no.

if they'd stick exactly to the franchise... maybe.. but if they rape it like sam&max.. no...

[MonkeyMania]

Sam in the cartoon series was played by the same actor who was King Koopa in the Mario cartoons.

[shovell]

I think yeah it could work, (if it's done well) think like Majus' animations are really awesome, it would be like that.... but longer... I guess...

[Wolfstar27]

Although i like Majus's "i wonder happens" series, no disrespect to the guy, but i dont think the animation would be taken seriously in a mainstream audience, cause at the end of the day it wont be just us fans watching the series,it will be opening the series to a new audience who have never heard of Monkey Island and hopefully bring in a new generation to the series like what tales and the special editions are doing,so it needs to be a strong series, and id pefer to see Monkey Island did in similar animation as that Pyrats video

I'd probably give it a go, but personally I voted now because I'd just see that as ruining the MI franchise, turning it into a cash cow.

Sam & Max I believe were a cartoon and comic series before the game was developed, whereas as far as I'm aware Monkey Island wasn't - it got its fan base via being a game, as opposed to S&M which was already pretty successful, and the gaming aspect of that franchise only helped launch it to a new audience - that's how I got into it.

So, to sum up, while I said I'd give it a go I really wouldn't want it to happen in the first place. No point overkilling it IMO.

That said, IWWHI was a great series to accompany the games, and they always made me chuckle so maybe it wouldn't be as bad as I'm currently imagining.
