Here's my list of movies that I'd like to see air in the "Action Flicks" slot. I realize that there may be legal issues preventing them from airing some of these. But any of these that they can air, I'd love to see.

Transformers: The Movie
GI Joe: The Movie
TMNT
Batman: Mask Of the Phantasm
Batman: Subzero

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Sub Zero have been airing on Boomerang as of late, which is not to suggest that they couldn't air on CN's Action Flicks.

As for the Marvel DTVs, some of them have aired on Toonami, so I don't see why they couldn't air on Action Flicks.

I don't really see Cartoon Network continuing to air the DBZ movies now that they're no longer rerunning the series. And even if they did, it would just be Tree of Might, World's Strongest and Dead Zone for the umpteenth times. I think that right now, CN is more interested in running world premiere movies on Action Flicks as opposed to films that have already run on the network several times now.

TMNT will most likely air on Action Flicks sometime in 2009 if Action Flicks sticks around because CN has the airing rights to that movie starting sometime in 2009.

I'd like to see CN play the remastered version of the original Transformers animated movie but I don't imagine they will play it in any way.

There's several DBZ movies they've yet to play and I'd love to see them play One Piece movie 8 though I don't imagine they will be playing it.

They may or may not have the rights to some of the Miyazaki films at this point but seeing Princess Mononoke again would be excellent and it would be great to see Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa again as well.

Here's what they potentially already have to run on Action Flicks for the time being.

The Batman vs Dracula
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Batman: Sub Zero
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
Batman and Superman Movie
Batman: Gotham Knight
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Justice League: New Frontier
Superman Doomsday
Superman Brainiac DTV
Hellboy: Blood and Iron
Hellboy: Sword of Storms
The Invincible Iron Man
Ultimate Avengers
Ultimate Avengers II
Dr. Strange
Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo (a bit tame but they might play it anyway)
Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
Naruto: Legend of the Stone of Gelel
Dragonball Z Movie 12
Dragonball Z Movie 13
Mosaic
The Condor
Princess Mononoke
Nausicaa (maybe on The Flicks instead)
Castle in the Sky (maybe on The Flicks instead)
Spider-Man (yes they'll play the live action one on Action Flicks at some point but I forgot what other live action action films they have besides Ben 10: Race Against Time)
TMNT (in 2009)

Chances are they'll get more DC and Marvel DTVs as they are released as well.

As much as I like the 2 Tim Burton Batman movies, I don't like the idea of live action movies on Cartoon Network. It just doesn't make sense. Anything that airs on Cartoon Network should have at least some animation in it. I mean I could see letting Who Framed Roger Rabbit slide, but not something like Spiderman.

I'm okay with live-action on the network as long as it's based on a comic or cartoon.

Movies like Spider Man and Men In Black airing on Cartoon Network would make more sense to me if CN were also showing their animated equivalent series.

Ideally, the Action Flicks, as well as The Flicks on Sundays should have no live action movies at all, unless they combine live action with animation, but if we truly must have live action movies on Cartoon Network, they should at least be based off of a cartoon or a comic book.

Transformers: THe Movie (1986)
G.I. Joe: The Movie
The animated Batman movies
The DTV DC Comic movies
The Dragonball Franchise (Original, Z and GT chapters) movies
Ultimate Avengers
Ultimate Avengers II
Dr. Strange
Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo
Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
Naruto: Legend of the Stone of Gelel
TMNT (Next Year)

Live action
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (They I know of has not aired on CN yet)
All 007 movies made prior to Licence to Kill (TBS used to air the James Bond films to death back in the day but the 007 films are VERY UNLIKELY TO BE ON "Action Flicks" largely due to Spike airing the Bond Films)
Austin Powers trilogy (Like LOTR, CN HAS NOT AIRED the Austin Powers movies yet and I expect some editing for content)
Spider-Man
Superman Returns (Probally)
Super Mario Brothers
The Matrix Trilogy (Very UNLIKELY UNLESS the films are BRUTALLY EDITED FOR CONTENT)

I think the Austin Powers trilogy really is too mature for the CN audience. It would fit more on Adult Swim.

Speaking of this, does CN still have the rights to the old animated trilogy? I remember they aired at least one of them a few years back around the time Return of the King came out.

Blackstar
10-27-2008, 10:52 PM
Super Mario Brothers

I'm not going to bore you with another rant on why movies which are completely devoid of animation should not be airing on Cartoon Network, as I'm sure you've all heard it many, many, many times before, but seriously? You want to see the Super Mario Brothers movie on Cartoon Network?? Why??

All 007 movies made prior to Licence to Kill (TBS used to air the James Bond films to death back in the dayPrecisely, which is why there's no reason whatsoever for them to air on CARTOON Network. Cartoon Network isn't TBS. The Bond films aren't really a good fit for CN. Kids wouldn't appreciate the early Bond films.

Austin Powers trilogy (Like LOTR, CN HAS NOT AIRED the Austin Powers movies yet and I expect some editing for content)Agreed. The sexual innuendo and randy humor would definitely need to be edited.


Perhaps CN could air The Flight of Dragons (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083951/). I haven't seen that movie in literally years. And what's more, Flight of Dragons is animated!

This one's a REAL long shot. Roger Rabbit made it onto CN mainly because it featured WB characters and because it was produced by Steven Spielberg. I think it's safe to say that it'll be a very cold day in a certain very hot place before we ever see a Disney/Pixar movie on Cartoon Network.

^I still wouldn't hold my breath waiting to see The Incredibles on CN, though. Especially considering that it's been airing on the Disney owned ABC Family. Of course, it doesn't matter to me, since I own the DVD, I can watch The Incredibles whenever I want, and without commercial breaks. :D

For the record, The Iron Giant was produced by Warner Brothers. No legal problems there.

Therefore, mentioning that The Nightmare Before Christmas and Operation Dumbo Drop have aired on CN does nothing to disprove my point. I don't think Disney is going to permit films from what is currently their biggest cash cow to be seen on a competitors' network.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was a co-production between Disney and Amblin which featured characters from Warner Brothers Studios, which is why Cartoon Network had no problem acquiring it.

Silverstar never once said that Disney movies have never aired on CN; only that CN has never (and likely will never) air any Disney/Pixar films, so there's really no point in dragging this out, homes. :p

Operation Dumbo Drop? The Nightmare Before Christmas? These aren't "Action Flicks." I wouldn't wanna see Operation Dumbo Drop regardless. Titan A.E. would be good though.

Agreed. The former 2 would be better suited for The Flicks on Sunday night. However, Titan A.E. (a much underrated movie) would be a good fit for Action Flicks.

I never said it was, guy. I'm guessing that you didn't actually read my original post, since I already brought up the point that Blackstar just mentioned above in it. In case you missed it, here it is one mo' time:

Roger Rabbit made it onto CN mainly because it featured WB characters and because it was produced by Steven Spielberg.

I'm not trying to get off on the wrong foot here, but I seriously don't understand your line of questioning me on this. You keep bringing up Disney movies which have aired on CN, as if I claimed that CN has never shown any Disney movies, when in fact I never made such a claim. I'm well aware that Cartoon Network has shown some Disney movies. But how many Disney/Pixar movies have aired on CN? Answer: ZERO. Zip, nada, zilch, goose-egg, The Big O.

You're not doing anything but proving my original statement correct.

Anyway, all of this is moot, since none of the Disney movies which have aired on CN are fit for Action Flicks. The Incredibles could possibly be shown, but to date no Pixar movie has ever aired on Cartoon Network, and it's doubtful that it ever will, which was my original point at the very beginning.

I can't make it any clearer than that.

In other countries outside of the U.S, Dumbo Drop and Nightmare Before Christmas aren't owned by Disney. Therefore, they're not technicaly Disney movies. This distributing/owning stuff can get a little weird sometimes, but that's business.

What happened the bumps in between? They aired during Gotham Knight, but now it's just the regular CN bumps. I wonder what that's about... I think the bumps made Action Flicks as a whole (other than the movies) cool because the bumps gave it some identity. I suggest they bring the bumps back.

I'm trying to think of all the Dragonball movies that havn't aired. I believe there's

DB: Curse of the Blood Rubies
DB: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle
DB: Mystical Adventure
DB: The Path to Power
DBZ: Dead Zone (Redub)
DBZ: The World's Strongest (Redub)
DBZ: The Tree of Might (Redub)
DBZ: Super Android 13!
DBZ: Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan
DBZ: Bojack Unbound
DBZ: Broly Second Coming
DBZ: Bio-Broly
DBGT: A Hero's Legacy
DB: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!

The DB movies would be great for action flicks considering they rerun the Pokemon movies all the time so why not DBZ? Hopefully FUNI will dub the new DB special and it will air on CN sometime in the future. Hopefully they'll start to show some of the DB movies since the live-action movie is coming out in April.

I'm not going to flame you, but that is off-topic, because neither of the movies that you mentioned are action movies. In fact, Jack Frost isn't even a Christmas movie; it just takes place in the winter.

Why not just create a thread for movies you'd like to see on The Flicks instead?

I'd settle for advertisement in the 10PM hour Monday - Thursday on top of on Friday and Saturdays and during The Flicks each week. I'm guessing they don't want to heavily promote action movies with risky material in them (though some of them have been relatively tame PG-V movies).

When they started airing live action movies their first movies were Honny I Shrunk the Kids, Mighty Ducks and (I think) Angels in the Outfeild. Three which I know were made by Disney.

I stand corrected then.

The catch with all of those is they got the rights to air those shows from TBS, one of their sister stations, not from Disney. Disney has basically made sure they acquire all Pixar films to air exclusively on Disney, Toon Disney/ Disney XD, ABC, and ABC Family.

As far as action Flicks goes, one animated movie that I'd love to see on Action Flicks is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Others that people have mentioned would be all the DBZ movies, all the Marvel animated movies, all the DC animated movies, the Yu Yu Hakusho movies, Transformers, the GI Joe movies, TMNT, and possibly a few more.

These are way too old to be considered, especially because their anime and their dubs have long expired, though

Robot Carnival
Vampire Hunter D
Twilight of the Cockroaches

^All of those have aired in '95 though if they aired it would be spectacular, not to mention they are all fantastic movies.

Quest for Camelot?
Wizards
Fire and Ice
Escaflowne the movie
