openVocaloids adventuring together? Music
Saw this song a bit ago without subtitle, and the title is in Japanese so I can only go with my interpretation of the vid, sorry.
The MV depicts Miku and several other Vocaloids adventuring together in a ruins or some sort collecting emblems (symbols?). I remember there are several emblems with different colors, and Kaito gets a blue one, Gumi gets gold (yellow?) others each get one, and I don't remember exactly who gets what color, but there is also yellow, gold, green, and orange, and at the end, only Miku didn't get the emblem. The end of the video has Miku crying, and all the other Vocaloids smile at her.
Ideas?
openAnimated TV Show in Late 90s/early 2000s Western Animation
I cannot find a trace of this show online and it's driving me insane. Basically it was this animated TV show that I think might have been either animated over live action or like a 2D CGI. (It was kind of a unique style. Like if you took A Scanner Darkly, made it ghetto and mixed it with Reboot, but then made everything 2D with static textures and patterns on clothing, for example.) It was some time in the late 90s/early 2000s, either Canadian or American. I thought it would have been on YTV or Teletoon, but I've searched both of their show lists and nothing is twigging my memory. It was something about this group of friends (2 guys, 2 girls, I think), and they had some sort of ability to leave their bodies and project themselves into ... I want to say dreams or alternate realities? I think they had some sort of memory loss that was a big part of the plot. And there was some sort of shady organization after them. I hope that's enough to go on. It was kind of for teens and adults, I'd say, rather than younger kids. Please help!

openAlice in wonderland/ fantasy themed tv show early 2000's Live Action TV
Sometime in the early to mid 2000's there was a show that aired on tv. It was a tv series and I'm pretty sure it had atleast 1 season. The main character was a girl with blonde hair. I remember her going to a White Castle. And I remember it being something like Alice in wonderland/ wizard of oz type of show. Fantasy with princesses and such I think. think she had to fight an evil queen or run for her life or something. Can't remember was too young to care but it's driving me crazy now please help!!
openCat / Dog Girl Adventure
I remember seeing a video for an upcoming video game. The video is rather vague about the content of the game. It has a fake news reporter talking about the game. The plot is about a humanoid cat / dog thing. She is a naive scientist who wants to be an adventurer. A super villain manages to recruit her into his plans. The video mentions other characters including a crazy guy obsessed with explosives, "mafia guy", a pretentious aristocrat and a robot "pirate queen". The video itself doesn't explain the game play. However, a comment made by the channel claims it is going to be a 2D platformer. I remember discovering a website made by the creators. Can anyone remember the title?
open(Probably) 2001-2005 movie? Film
I'm looking for an old movie from around the timespan stated above. All I remember is a woman is the main character, and two scenes.
First scene is about the lead woman as a child looking at a flower vase. The vase burst into flames several seconds later, and an older woman asks someone else "You believe that's a set up, didn't you?" (Paraphrased)
The second scene is set as a huge fire is about to reach a male character (I think). The lead female then approached the fire and the fire retreated. At the end of that scene, the woman disappeared, presumably dead, and leaving a memento I cannot really recall. I remember the memento is a jewelry, though. What kind, I'm unsure.
openA cartoon about a girl and a fireman looking for a cat Western Animation
As a kid, I used to watch this cartoon about a girl who got blown to the other side of the world or something. Her cat was stuck in a laternpole (I think?) and this fireman came to help but both of them for blown away. So the girl and the fireman go travel across the land to find the girls cat. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, neither do any of my friends. Does anyone know?
openSong used in movie Music
So, I remember hearing this song in the opening of a movie once. Unfortunately, I forgot what movie it was, and all I remember about the song is that it was really fast and started with a line that sounded like "am I wasting my time". Anyone know what I'm talking about?
openMystery/ fantasy tv show??? Live Action TV
Don't remember much sadly but I remember it was about a woman who had a dark history and she ended up running in the woods at some point and she finds this young girl.. who turns out to be either herself or her sister or something? And they have this long conversation and the woman either figures out the girl isn't real or isn't who she says she is or something like that. I really only remember that one scene and they were hiding behind a mossy rock the entire time they talked..

They have a whirlwind courtship, only for her to suddenly return to India for an arranged marriage.

openDangerous moments caught on camera
I remember watching a show that basically included a bunch of near misses, natural disasters and accidents caught on camera. It had its own intro showing different disasters that had been featured and I distinctly remember the logo being cracked as part of an animation. I think it was on quest a few years ago but I could be wrong.

Edited by SquishySqueakopenOld Black and White VHS Film
So when I was younger there was this old VHS tape at my grandmas house that I used to watch. I'm not quite sure if it was just a bunch of cartoons put together or one actual movie. But I do remember that it was all in black and white, all the characters were animals (I believe) and there was a cow and during the film, there was a scene with a title screen that said something like "Sunny Days" or something along those lines. I haven't been able to find the tape as it got lost over time, but I can't find any trace of it online either. I believe the animations were a creation from during the early 1900's to the 1960's but that's just a guess
open3D Math Symbols/Kids TV show Western Animation
This was a children's tv show or web series that starred math symbols such as a red addition sign, a pink or purple multiplication sign, and a division sign which i believe was blue, and a subtraction sign. it was a 3D animation most likely from the early to mid 2000's and it's characters have been haunting my nightmares ever since. I need help finding this show. The characters look like they're made of felt and the eyes look like they're from veggietales. The episode I remember was about building a house or tall building in the shape of a pentagon or octogon. If you know what i'm talking about, please help!!! It was made for kids around the ages of 1st grade to 3rd grade as I recall.
openMid 90s weird facts show. Live Action TV
I remember I used to watch this show all the time. I don't know how much truth there was behind the stories, I think it may have been a fact or fiction type show. They had creepy facts about the different places in the world. The one scene I remember most is the host talking about how a long time ago kings used to behead people and the head could see for seconds after it was cut off and that a woman was said to have run away from her head, a certain amount of distance, breaking some kind of record in the town. I swear it was on Nickelodeon but haven't found it on any of nicks listings. It had a lot of other interesting weird history, but that part scared the shit out of me.
Edited by RhetoricalDogopenA Book From Childhood- Cant Remember Title Literature
I don't remember much, but:
A boy lives with his father, something happens (an altercation between the two, pretty sure father was abusive in some way...... I think he was a drunk?) and he accidentally kills his father when he pushed him and the father bashed his head on the mantle. He doesn't know what to do, doesn't tell anyone until he befriends a new neighbor girl. When he finally admits to her what he's done, (this part I'm hazy on) I'm fairly certain she convinces him to get rid of the body. Something happens something happens and the girl and her mother end up stealing everything of value from the boy and disappearing, and it's implied they've done this before, at hints on their 'acting abilities'.
If I remember the book cover correctly (and I could be wrong on this), it was a photograph of a boy, dark hair and dark clothes, lying in the middle of a street, arms out to his sides, head turned to the side. Thanks for any help!!
I'm not talking about We Remember it For You Wholesale. It was this novel about a tv show host whose wife and daughter were murdered and he was bashed. When he returns to consciousness, he can't remember what happened to him.
