2003 not good enough to warrant Live Action Blockbuster?

Seems like the '87 Wolf toon, and the 2012 Nick toon seem to be the peaks of the franchise in terms of popularity, and quality. As we can seen by their box office number off spring.

2012 and Nick brought a resurgence to the property with new fans, as well as a heavy dose of nostalgia for those who grew up with the property.

I ask, why is it the 2003 series didn't get a big budget, serious live action treatment the way the bookend cartoon series did? Was it not as well liked ... Not as good as either of the other two previous cartoons? Or just stuck in an awkward down period of the franchise? Too early for a nostalgic revival, yet not the original phenomenon ...
