Cartoons Saloon is working on developing its animated TV skein "Skunk Fu," which sold to more than 100 countries worldwide, into a feature film.

Oh, I can already sense people's hatred towards this project.

*Raph's Girl* · 05-18-2008, 01:56 PM

I guess they figured "Oh hey! There's that Panda kung fu movie out! Lets make one out of some badly done cartoon series that nobody really gives a crap about!"...

I think I saw like one ep of that show...

Why? Because they're basically just cashing in off of Kung Fu Panda, or the fact that the cartoon sucks beyond belief? I will say I like the animation... but put it opposite Viva Pinata, I can't tell too much of a difference (Of course, I kinda like Pinata a little. I tried watching the show numerous times, and found it routine and just unbearable.

I don't see how well this film would do, since the show isn't well known. Maybe in it's native country of Ireland... but much like the Winx Movie, there wouldn't be enough call to import it here.

I'm still fuming over the lack of Lucky Luke Goes West and Asterix and the Vikings (which was recorded and animated in English with American voice actors... that stung) over here.

Well on the bright side that article states more European movies will be coming out and that works for me since many of the ones I've seen recently are quite good.

Because people would just ruin their nerves here, bitching over another anthropomorphic martial artist hitting the big screen and how it'd get better and wider recognition than the TMNT.

EDIT: 4K posts again, yippers.

well, there's one thing wrong on that count. Whilest Kung Fu Panda is a major Dreamworks film (and more cashing in off the Asian fad than TMNT if you think about it), Skunk Fu is a low rated cartoon series that has absolutely no buzz about it.

I doubt we'd see it released here. Maybe as a Kidtoon Cinemas presentation. I could see a DVD release. Even if it was, I mean, who's gonna pay to see that? It can't have that many fans.

But come on. Europe has better animated movies they're keeping all to themselves.

More like AAAAAAAHHHRRRGGG!!! If I have to see another movie or cartoon franchise held up by fart jokes, I'm gonna rip one in the creator's face.

Dreamworks is a pile of sh*t. They don't really animate. They just hire a celebrity voice and then motion capture some goofy moves and get their distributor to hype it up.

Pixar is the real inheritor to the Disney throne.

Who's making you see these movies? Really, I wanna know.

*Sewer Bull* · 05-21-2008, 06:08 PM

Peer pressure.

No one. But that doesn't mean I get barraged by a million different previews for the movies over and over. Each using every fart joke in them.

But I'm gonna agree with:

Couldn't be more true. I will say, Madagascar, Antz, and Over the Hedge are the best things they ever made. I used to really like Shrek until I made the mistake of seeing the third one. The thing about the Princess Resistance force sounded too good to pass up.

But back to the subject at ahnd. A movie version of a C-grade, low rated, forgettable cartoon. I reiterate. I cannot see them releasing it here in wide or even short release. it's not Spider-Man, Avatar, or anything that has a buzz behind it. I can see it being released DTV. That is, outside of its native Ireland.

But seriously. I'm just waiting for kid's media to throw out the middle man, and finally make a show or movie called The Fart-tastic Fart-ventures of Fart farterson and his sidekick Farty.

**GK Punk** · 05-22-2008, 08:54 AM

Oh come on, all the cool kids are doing it.

And what in the blue hell is Skunk Fu?

Ra · 05-22-2008, 09:03 AM

And thus, Wikipedia saves the day again.

The show isn't that bad (I've only seen 2 minutes of one episode, so I can't say much...), but I really can't see it as a movie.

*Drtooth* · 05-22-2008, 10:16 AM

I have to agree it isn't bad. It's just poorly writen and poorly acted. The animation however is great for television Flash animation. And I do like most of the character designs... but as a TV show, it's nothing I haven't seen a million times before.

I guess I don't so much hate the show, as I was just disappointed by it. It does seem like a bunch of good concepts executed poorly.

Maybe if the voice actors didn't rely on bad Celebrity impersonations, we'd have a better show.
