Krull is a cult classic to say the least. Got to give that a watch again.
Anyway one that I find in a very tragic position is the Flintstones. People seem to hate it for some reason, but in my opinion it is the very best Cartoon-to-Live Action adaptation ever. I can't think of any other film that manages to capture the original source of the cartoon so well. Eh maybe Speed Racer.
Now nothing seems to want to be true to it's cartoon source. Look at things like the Smurfs... and try not to commit suicide. Honestly I used to love the SMurfs cartoon. At one point the idea of a Smurfs movie would have filled me with joy. A fantasy adventure for the whole family, taking place in the grand kingdom that the Smurfs, Gargamel, King Gerard, Johan & Peewit, Lord Balthazar, Bigmouth, and so many more live.
Why the hell did they need to send them to New York? Why did it end up the way it did? Ugh... there was so much potential...
