openNo Title Anime
I vaguely remember this show (I think it was anime) that my mom rented for me when I was little (mid-90's). All I remember was that there were giant centipedes throwing the world into chaos because they were eating fairies which I think controlled nature or something. And there was a scene in a church/cathedral of a priest writing something with a quill pen by candlelight. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
resolved No Title Anime
I remember seeing an anime movie awhile ago, but I didn't catch the title and only watched it for a few minutes. I think there was some sort of war going on, and the pilots were mid-to-older teen boys. I think they were stuck at that age, and they had to be in order to fly the planes. There was a girl who was their boss, I'm pretty sure she was a heavy smoker. She was also the mother of a little girl who came to visit, but the girl thought she was her sister. It had a sort of CGI style combined with the anime and the CGI was more apparent in the aerial scenes.
openNo Title Anime
Anime or 70/80's animation. Asian or some other 'exotic' boy, blond girl, perhaps adopted twins? With matching amulets? Credits possibly involved them running down a cobblestone street, shot from street level and running towards the camera? My Dad keeps telling me it's The Mysterious Cities of Gold but I'm sure it's not! Though the animation style is similar.
openNo Title Film
A very old film I saw when I was young. It involved two kingdoms, and the people were made of colors—or represented the colors or something. There is a war between the two kingdoms, and the prince has to save the princess. At the end, all live happily ever after and there is a rainbow. or something. Help! I just want to know wast this movie is.

The medium is "computer game" but that wasn't a choice so I'm leaving it at "not sure"... anyway, I remember playing a game as a child where you started out the game in some sort of toy shop. The game itself was quite simple, it was animated and you just clicked on things (for example a torch) and it would bring you to another scene that had something to do with that object, for example after clicking on the torch you had to move the light around a dark room until you found something (I can't remember what it was). One of the scenes you could go to was two bears ice-skating. I'd like to find out what the game's title was and where my parents got it from (keeping in mind it could have come free with a box of cereal, as a good few of my childhood edutainment games did).
openNo Title Western Animation
This isn't a lot to go on but I've been trying to figure out if this movie actually exists or not. I'm pretty sure it was western animation, probably a movie, and would have been from the 90s, maybe early 80s. There's this little girl, I think she's the main character, and she's trying to fight the evil bad guy in a forest or swampy area. It involved magic and I think she says some cheesy lines about "happiness is infinite, we can make as much as we want!" or something similar. I've tried googling it but so far no luck. Any help?

A live action movie I saw about a young boy and he has a talking teddy bear. At one point, he cuts his mother's hair with a scissors and keeps the hair and later on, he gets sent to an alternate future and forced to fight in some arena. At some point, his mother dies and he can only bring her back for one day using the DNA from the lock of hair he collected. The movie was a huge Tear Jerker.

This was from You Tube ,and was pretty much Team Fortress 2's Meet the Spy with everyone wearing mustaches and monocles, and the script was the original made into something more verbose. Even the title was altered so, to the point I don't remember it. I remember one particular line was "Oooh, big problem" changed to "Your angst amuses me."

A You Tube animation depict a scenario involving characters from Team Fortress 2.
The spy and a bunch of other people see a Sniper on the ground, apparently dead and covered in white stuff. The Spy notices a pair of headphones and puts it on. He goes "Ooohh, Pendulum!" and a shot later, he is seen in a similar situation
openNo Title Anime
There was this anime that had two stories, one being about two female super heroes that do comedy and are mistaken for villains, and the other is about a family of girls who try to be the best villains but mess up and everyone thinks they are heroes. Of coarse, it might have been my imagination because I remember looking it up and I don't see anything like in when I look at my past searches...
openNo Title Live Action TV
This just popped into my brain and is killing me. I remember watching this on either Nickelodeon or Disney. I think it was a Made for TV movie. It involved kids in a post-apocalyptic desert world (one of them may have had powers), and they windsurfed across the desert. Had to have been Post Alex Mack, but Pre Eddie Mc Dowd Nick Era.
openNo Title Webcomic
A webcomic I remember reading in 2004(?); it began in a steampunk setting in a desert, with the two (female) bridge crew of an airship meeting with a (female) general - who might have had a talking cat?!? - who they believe is going to have them demoted (or worse) for damaging the airship's engines by over-stressing the them so as to have supplies arrive in time for a battle; general instead promotes the airship's captain, but as the general offers the captain a pen to sign her promotion orders they come under fire, and the captain is killed; the ensuing battle includes biplanes being attacked by a flock of raptors-with-riders; at some point the reality shifted and the setting became a highschool/college in a modern city - the same characters appeared, but in different roles - the girl-who-had-been-the-general is ambushed in a roadblock and her driver is killed, and a raptor-with-rider appears again, the rider being scolded that they might have been seen. It had very good (colour) art but made Mega Tokyo's update schedule look rushed.
openNo Title Literature
A gamebook I remember stumbling upon in primary school (so early-to-mid 90's) - I remember it for being astonishingly creepy for a children's gamebook, feeling like a gamebook version of Solaris; if I recall correctly the gamebook began with the PC arriving at a moonbase - shortly thereafter World War Three breaks out, leaving the crew of the moonbase the only survivors; a later scene had an NPC be seen as outside the moonbase - but the PC could check and see that all the spacesuits were still accounted for; oh, and it also had a You Fail Physics Forever moment where the PC could choose to fire a laser whilst travelling FTL, causing the laser to curve back past them and hit their own reactor, causing an explosion killing the PC.
openNo Title Anime
I believe it was an anime set in the gundam universe or some other giant robot series though I could be wrong... It opened with two astronauts meeting in space (I think) and one of them loses their watch. They turn out to be on opposite sides of a war... The show ends with them emerging from a cave after the final battle of the war, and if I remember correctly the guy lead lost a leg.

Okay so, I once watched this movie and now I can't find it again.
It was about a girl who managed to travel back in time thanks to an elevator, and she came to the same building only like 100 years back or something. There she met a girl her age and after some adventure (I think chasing away the mean man who wanted to marry her mother?) the girl went back home and told her dad about it.
Then the girl and her dad went back in time together and he ended up marrying the other girl's mother and after that they lived happily ever after. Sounds familiar?

So this was a million years ago. Early 90's.
It was some cheesy live action horror movie that was on TV, I just don't remember if it was made for TV movie or just a movie to be played.
All I remember was a cheesy, skinny mummy thing walking around a neighborhood. And a scene where this kid is all, "Daddy there's a monster in my closet". And you see the weird mummy thing in the closet,but the dad is facing away, looking at the kid, mocking him with "Ooo, scary monster!"
I never actually *saw* it, because the movie was like, canceled.
Thank you in advance.
I'm looking for the name of a British kid's gameshow from the 90s. It was basically The Crystal Maze with a few differences:
I'm certain I'm not making this up, given how much of it I remember, so does anyone know what it was called?
