As much as I don't want to agree, I agree with captcalhoun. The Galaxy Rangers is unique in its own way, and it is not Firefly. First off, these guys are law officers, not crooks; secondly, they're not in an undemocratic society; third, they're fighting evil that's a lot nasty and old fashioned than that of Blue Sun Corporation or Parliament. Those qualities alone set it apart from Firefly in every sense. If at anything, it would have to be like your typical Western, which is where it got it's theme from, only more literally.
As for me, I want to see:
- Sabre Rider & The Star Sherrifs
- Voltron
- JEM
- Starzinger (Spacekateers)
- Kim Possible
- Max Steel
- C.O.P.S.

I love how the fan who made that trailer 'cast' Cheetara by simply lifting Gigi Edgley scenes right out of Farscape without even adding any 'makeup' like he did for Brad Pitt (from Troy), Vin Diesel (probably Pitch Black) and Hugh Jackman (don't know what Hugh's scenes were from).
And yeah, Garfield as Snarf is
...
A Thundarr movie would be EPIC!!!!!!! Imagine a movie that combines the best elements of Star Wars, LOTR, and Mad Max!! and "Lord's of Light!!!!!!" and "Demon Dogs!" are great catch phrases!
(yes sadly I watched it in my way past youth) 
Quite a few of my choices have already been posted more than once, so I'll nominate Bionic Six. If it can be done with an even mix of action, drama, humor, and genuine warmth among the family members, it could be a good adventure flick, IMO...
That show really was the one which spiked the whole animation explosion from the mid 80's till the mid 90's (I tend to put the die off at around '97 or so), and demands respect for that. No one should be ashamed of watching that show.
Oh man, I forgot about that show. Used to love it back in the day. Got the intro stuck in my head now
Of course I have to give Terrahawks and Ulysses 31 and Jayce and the Wheel Warriors
On a side note: Gotta love those campy 80s toon-opening songs
How about Disney's Gargoyles? It'd take some extensive use of prosthetics and/or CGI, but I think it's certainly do-able, and would be awesome to see.
