This is just a commercial so it gives you a brief taste of what an Assassin Creed Animation would be like. And it would be AWESOME!
Cartoons you think should be made.

I would like to see a fantasy action cartoon on a kid's cartoon channel like Cartoon Network with with likable characters, a strong linear melodramatic story with minimal random filler episodes and little to no cliches. Call me crazy for wanting a good cartoon to be broadcast-ed on and restricted by a children's network, but in my eyes, some of the really great cartoons are the ones that work under strict rules.
Take Regular Show as an example. If it were on Comedy Central and they were allowed to curse as much as they like, do you really think it would be as popular as it is now? Or do you think that it might just kind of get over-shadowed by cartoons like South Park? My point is, on a channel like Cartoon Network, due to the restrictions, it feels much more satisfying to get away with edgy and/or excellent content on a channel that is supposed to be for kids or is known for its lack of quality programming. I know that it is much more satisfying to see Regular Show get away with its many risky jokes and innuendo than on a channel that allows it, where you would expect it. You don't expect it, and it surprises you. That makes it all the better.
It would be great to have a show like that, one that was actually a legitimately good show despite being appropriate for your drooling 3-yr old cousin. It would be great to be able to look back on that show a decade later and think, "Huh, this show was genius. This is definitely going on my watch list." Should be similar in a sense to Pokemon (the games, not the show). Pokemon is genius in that there is no barrier to entry for younger ages. Your 5 yr old little brother could pick it up, play it, and beat it with relative ease, yet, there is so much more to it as well. It has a ton of strategy elements that put customization options of other RPGs to shame. There are an insane amount of ways to tweak your party to make it perfect that go past just types, but what moves your type can use, and the stats of that type to the point where even two of the exact same Pokemon can be drastically different. i.e., It doesn't need nostalgia, it can stand on its own two legs just fine and it offers entertaining accessibility to all ages.
That's the kind of cartoon that should be made. One that is appropriate for all ages, but offers something unique, interesting and/or engaging for each age group.

Just the thought of Oderus' Cuddlefish of C'thulhu gaining sentience and fucking everyone would be hilarious.Wayne Insane said:
Mogworld. Yahtzee's book is just amazing and original. I think it would be very successful as a cartoon because it would allow all that character development and quirky adventures that a movie wouldn't allow. It's just perfect.
Anyone remember the Army men series(The games, there never was a show)? You know, the green army men, pseudo-based off of the army men from toy story, and their battles against the nefarious Tan empire? Well I think that this concept could go one of two ways: 1. A GI Joe-esque show with the heroes of the green army facing off against elite Tan enemies (Although they would have to make some named ones, because as of now there aren't any) or 2. A 3D pixar animation style show about various operations the army men attempt in the house like a plan to get batteries for the walkie talkie, or to rescue another toy from a tree or high shelf. Cold be interesting.

Booster Gold, the Greatest Hero You've Never Heard of.
Base it on the last successful Booster Gold comic book series. Booster is a hero with two faces, one public and one private. The public persona is that of glory seeking publicity whore. His face is on everything that would give him money. The private persona is that of time cop, looking for unauthorized changes in the timeline and correcting them.
What direction the stories go depend solely on whether Booster is a solo act or he has friends with him. If he has a team, then it would be fellow time travelers like Matthew Rider, Rip Hunter, Void Pilgrim (DC owns the character now), even Flashback from Blood Syndicate.
There are plenty of time related villains that can be used for the series. Per Degaton, Professor Zoom, Chronos the Time Master, Black Beetle, Ultra Humanite and others.
In D&D terms, the Punisher is Chaotic Neutral. What he does is for the greater good, and uses the law when it benefits the people he's helping. He just has no use for it himself.

Read pretty much everything the Punisher's been in. Though the Purgatory and Salvation storylines were... different. Not great, but not as awful as people claim they are.aba1 said:

Crash Bandicoot? It could work, if given to the right people.

First of all, the only cartoon I really want to watch right now is a 4th season of Venture Bros. That show is unbelievable.
As for ones that don't already exist though, in all seriousness, I'd love Harry Partridge (a few videos of his have been linked above - Saturday Morning Watchmen, the Mass Effect cartoon) to get a proper cartoon series on Adult Swim or something.
I mean, seriously. Look at this.

I want to see a Japanese cartoon about a schoolgirl and a monster with tentacles.
Is that original or what?
