However, a handful of movies made from cartoons have managed to bring the best of their shows to the big screen. See if you agree with this list of the best movies made from cartoons.

American Dad Season Finale

Sunday May 13, 2012

American DadAmerican Dad is the new King of the Hill, in that FOX does little to promote it, but it's one of the funniest and most clever TV shows on the air. American Dad dissects family values, politics and most American preconceptions in every episode.

In the season finale tonight, Stan finds Steve playing with his toys and vows to make a man out of him by taking him to Mexico. His plays go awry, however, when they are kidnapped by a drug cartel. Watch "Toy Whorey" tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
