Description
Meme owned by: emeraldoftheocean.deviantart.c…I heard good things about the movie "Paddington", and when I saw it on Netflix, I figured, "Eh, sure. Why not?" After watching it, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. Something about it just seemed to tell me that THIS is what those crappy live-action adaptations of cartoons SHOULD have been. Just as it seemed that there were more terrible ones being turned out that worth the experiments, I found what that was actually good.
Just a heads up: I also have a compnion piece for this meme compariong Freddie Prince Jr.'s version of Fred to Colin Firth's version of Mr. Brown, because there's something about them that also feels like one succeeded while the other failed.

It also worth noting that there was a Paddington cartoon from Hanna-Barbera as well, so having this competing against this does get surprisingly more and more fitting.
Also I would guess there was the live action Flintstones and Inspector Gadget which came out first, but I think the trend that Scooby-Doo started would just be adapting a cartoon with the either cute or funny animal character into CGI within a live-action environment

I am amazed that Scooby Doo came out a year after Lord of the Rings yet the CGI for the titular character looks like it was from the 1990s.

That's what happens when you rush out a product just to cash in on name recognition, instead of putting in geniune care and effort into it.

No doubt. The movie even feels like a metaphor for Hanna-Barbara itself in that respect because they did their share of cheap cash in products themselves.

I watch Live Action Scooby Doo, but I don't watch Paddington and Live-action Scooby Doo movies(first 2 ones) are my guilty pleasure movie

Oh god I remember the Yogi Bear one! For the most part, it was very forgettable. Even now all I can remember is that head-bumping scene. That's it. No other scenes. None!

That's good. Now just have that one scene left to try to block from memory.

I don't like live action Paddington and I never will, but I respect your opinion. I still think they should have done it in CGI altogether like Mr. Peabody and Sherman, because CGI and live action will NEVER mix for me. I don't care how well Paddington did in theatres, but I won't stop others from seeing it if they wish. Garfield, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dudley Do Right, Chipmunks, Yogi Bear and the Smurfs are terrible live action adaptations that DO NOT WORK OUT AND NEVER WILL!! But I won't stop anyone from seeing them, as I said. I just can't believe the naïve, braindead parents that would choose seeing Chipmunks with their kids over better family films like Muppets, Princess and the Frog, or Arthur Christmas.

Yeah, that indeed is a particular misfortune. The trouble is that the movies that tend to draw in the most audiences tend to be the ones with the heaviest advertising, which is why it's a relief to see movies that actually get successful by being good, rather than by undermining their audience's intelligence.

It's a good thing The Peanuts Movie made more money than the recent shitmunks movie, and that's all thanks to Force Awakens that came out on the same weekend

so i guess the live action Scooby isn't any different when it comes to the failed attempts at cartoon character turned into live action; somewhat stays true to the original personality, but is still outweighed by the bad; being hip, fart jokes, product placements, and uncanny CG design

Yeah, although now that I think about it, live-action Garfield is probably worse, because he and his movie pretty much resemble NOTHING of their original cartoon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the one thing I think they still stayed true to would probably be Garfield's personality, being portrayed as the overweight and cynical cat we know, but everything else, yeah, but yeah the bad definitely outweighs the good here, especially with Nermal being an adult siamese as opposed to a grey tabby kitten

I never even knew there was a Peter Rabbit movie (at least not live-action).

It’s not fair to judge a movie that didn’t come out
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
too be fair, from the looks of the trailer, it does look terrible, even though you can give it the benefit of the doubt that it advertised horribly
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
True. But than again these movies were judged before they came out
Ghostbusters(2016)
The Emoji Movie
Beauty and the Beast(2017)
50 Shades of Grey
Fantastic Four(2015)
And the people who judged them were right
