Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fantasy movies often have great potential to be turned into animated series because of their strength in worldbuilding and complex visual language. However, I find it strange that animation and fantasy are thought to be for kids. Though I found the fantasy genre as a young person, my interest in it has only grown into adulthood.
10 Legend With one of the most terrifying fantasy villains in cinema, Legend remains impactful today. Close Featuring an early performance from Tom Cruise, Legend was a large part of the 1980s fantasy boom. Directed by Ridley Scott, Legend is well-known in fantasy circles and was an indicator of the upward trajectory of the actors and creators behind the film.
Director Ridley Scott Release Date April 18, 1986 Cast Tom Cruise , Mia Sara , Tim Curry , David Bennent , Alice Playten , Billy Barty , Cork Hubbert Runtime 94 Minutes 9 Labyrinth Though replacing David Bowie would be difficult, an animated show could solve some of Labyrinth's problems. Close There's no question that Labyrinth is a fantasy movie that could do with some updates.
The enormous amount of money it takes to create the puppets and sets, as well as paying the experts who control the puppets, is difficult to justify in the modern era of over-consumption and the streaming model. This is a shame, as I admire the Jim Henson Company for keeping the medium of puppetry and practical effects alive. However, transitioning to animation might be the best thing The Dark Crystal franchise can do to remain relevant.
Director Wolfgang Petersen Release Date July 20, 1984 Cast Patricia Hayes , Noah Hathaway , Barret Oliver , Sydney Bromley , Gerald McRaney , Tami Stronach Runtime 94 minutes 6 Willow The classic tale of bravery and adventure has become more than a cult classic. Close An animated show wouldn't necessarily have to follow the same plots or characters as long as it stayed true to the tone and themes of the film and show.
With two books following the first, Inkheart has no shortage of plots for writers and creators to spin into multiple seasons of a show. While the Inkheartbook trilogy peaked with the first book, the other two are still high-quality and could be made even better with an iteration in animation. Since so much of Inkheart takes place inside books, I would be intrigued to see how a series would visually communicate that.
