Superheroes Not Yet On Silver Screen

I have been having these thoughts about childhood superheroes, and was wondering who else haven't been made into a movie yet. Of late, we have the chance of seeing Captain America, The Avengers, and Smurfs, joining the group of superheroes and action heroes that have gone to many installations such as Spiderman, Batman, and Transformers.

As I can recall from my childhood memories, we were served with interesting cartoons from 4.00 to 5.30pm, and these I think have yet to be on the silver screen yet such as Thundercats, Voltron, Mask, Gobots and Silverhawks.


I believe many of the 70s and 80s babies will be the first to queue in line for the tickets and salivate all the way to the cinema seat when one of these movies are shown. Just as in the first installation of the Transformer movies, there were many chaps who stood and applause when the movie ended. Well, it sure sent the signals that they are either very mystified by the movie quality or satisfied that the movie brought back the old memories.

For my little kid, before she knows all these daddy superheroes, she already has two superheroes whom she is growing together with; Barney with BJ and Baby Bop, and 水果奶奶 (Fruity Pie Granny). No doubt, they are the unsung heroes for teaching her the first words and songs in English and Mandarin.
