openOLD SILENT CGI MOVIE ABOUT MUSIC AND DANCE FOR KIDS Western Animation
So when I was in elementary school I remember my music teacher showing us this movie about music and dance. It was CGI and had lots of colors and music in it, but the main character never spoke, he would just dance and move around to the beat of the music playing and that was his way of communicating with all of the animals and people he encountered. I don't remember the plot but the main character would just be walking and dancing around outside and dancing with the animals to the beat of the music. The main character was a short stubby little blonde boy character. I believe he wore a blue shirt and maybe dark blue pants. I remember the colors because it was a very colorful film. The sky was very bright blue in all of the outside scenes. The movie was very clearly CGI animation though, it wasn't meant to look realistic at all. The character was probably about 3 ft tall maybe? It was a children's movie I think.
Edited by porkbunnyopenCollege girl seeing her dead friend? Film
I'm looking for a tv-show that I think was set in college (but I'm not sure), because the girl had her own room and I think I remember an old building or something. But now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing any classes. Anyway, I remember two girls and one of them was a bit heavy-set and had black hair, and she was a bith goth I think (but again, not sure). Oh, and I think she died at some point, but the other girl still saw her (but again, totally not sure). Sorry if I sound crazy, I just can't find anything on google, but I'm sure I saw this show at a point in my life.
Help !
Edited by ScandalousBusynessopenGerman(?) kids' show about a girl who works for the police Live Action TV
In Croatia we used to watch a show that I think was originally from Germany. The main character was a teenage girl who lived with her grandfather, an inventor who everyone thought was crazy. She worked as a secretary or intern or something at the police station where, of course, all the adults were incompetent and treated her like she was just a kid who didn't know anything. But she had a way to either stop time or teleport (family disagreement on this matter) and would use this tool when she figured out what the police were missing to make sure that the crook was caught. We think she may have been called Mindy or Mandy. It was definitely not a high-budget production.
Any ideas???
opentv cartoon for young children with humanoid badgers Western Animation
ok so there was this show I used to watch on on demand as a child. it's cgi, and probably made in the early 2000's. i remember only one episode of this show, which was about the female main character only wanted to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. throughout the whole episode she is only given these sandwiches by her mother, while her baby sister gets normal food. the show has humanoid badgers but im pretty sure there was other animals, because there was a birthday scene in the episode i remember that had other kids. i cant seem to find anything about the show, no matter how much I try. i remember not liking it that much, hence why I watched only one episode. and dont quote me on this, but im pretty sure the female main character had a bow.

openA short comic Web Original
I've seen this a couple of years ago in a Facebook group, can't find it anywhere now. It was a single page wordless comic. The idea is, a woman falls pregnant, gives birth, so, due to all the effort, she becomes very frazzled, and the husband leaves her for another woman. Then that woman becomes pregnant... in short, the final panel is her, just as frazzled, alongside the husband, looking at the first woman, now a perfectly neat lady with the child by her side.
openTank game Videogame
It was an old PC game (late 90s or mid 2000s) that involved playing as a tank and you would use different kinds of special attacks to take down the opponent Only thing I can remember from the game is that it had 1v1 mode and there was an attack called Spider
Edited by SleepingPuppyopenLate 90s-Early 00s PC racing game Videogame
I remember playing a PC racing game when I was young on my parents' computer. Its graphics are roughly comparable with Hot Wheels Micro Racers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdLVe1t3I6Q), with low polygon counts and a top-down POV. I remember there being six vehicles or so per race, each with three-letter names. One vehicle's name is "VAC"; I can't remember the rest, but they all follow the pattern of having names of three different letters to differentiate them. There's also a monster truck vehicle, or big van, much larger than the rest of the cars. As far as I know, there's no vehicle select option; you're only able to race the same one vehicle, and the others are all AI-controlled.
I only remember one stage, a kind of farmland countryside drive. There's a cliff face you drive along around the middle, and at the end of the circuit there's a very particular kind of shortcut involving a tractor. (I have a diagram, but no way to link it in the query.)
The tractor occasionally crosses the track via a path cutting through a 180-degree turn right before the finish line. You can just go around the long way, dodging the tractor if it happens to be in the path, or you can be more daring and try taking the tractor's path through the middle, cutting off the turn. If I remember correctly, if you run into the tractor at any point, you explode, as well as if you fall off the aforementioned cliffside, though I also seem to remember the track jumping off the cliff to a path below, so I'm not certain if I'm confusing Micro Racers mechanics with this game's.
A couple extra details: The computer icon is a mauve background with a yellow lightning bolt down the middle, and I seem to remember there being conditions where you can get a DNF (if you explode too much or if everyone finishes the race ahead of you) and aren't allowed to complete the course. The results, which just display on the screen as an overlay after you finish rather than being a separate screen, has pixellated icons corresponding to each vehicle, next to their three-letter name, top to bottom in the order they finished. I'm fairly sure it was on either Windows 98 or Windows 2000, and it was only installed on one computer, in a lone folder with only the app (no readme or anything), so I'm not sure if it's a small game bundled with others as a trial version of some sort or if it's its own complete game and I just never got past the first level.
Thanks for any help you can give!
EDIT: After doing a bit of digging I found it, it's a 1997 racing game called "Ignition"!
Edited by ArcticYoshi45openVarious Live-Action TV shows? Live Action TV
Okay, so there are actually quite a few of them, I remember my mother watching them online.
1. A TV show where a woman loves manatees. She freaks out at the beach because she thinks she sees a lot of dead ones.
2. These guys keep singing Disney songs. One memorable aspect is that they started singing "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid when a straight couple were on a date.
3. A TV show that had a theme tune that said something like "I'm not that rich, but I can tell you she's a—" and then a Sound-Effect Bleep. Pretty sure that it's this show that has a woman keep mentioning "casual sex" and eventually goes, "I did it! I did it! I had casual sex!" and one of them is making jam and another calls it "sexy", but she says, "There's nothing sexy about jam."
4. A man and a woman do it in a public bathroom.
5. It's happening like Groundhog Day and one of the characters is an old man. Possibly it's the same one, where a woman is told that sports are "just for dudes" and she shouts, "Nothing's just for dudes! Not even peeing standing up!"
6. Pretty sure this is Laverne & Shirley, I just want confirmation. The intro shows two women skipping down the street singing some sort of rhyme, then the Theme Tune plays.
openZombie & Werewolf shorts Western Animation
There are two short cartoons that I saw either on Teletoon or The Zone that are both horror themed and I believe they were back to back, maybe a pilot of a failed show. I think it was Canadian and it aired 10+ years ago. The first one starred some kid who's parents had arranged for him to marry a zombie girl. He doesn't want to marry her and there's a scene where his family and the zombie family are sitting at the dinner table and the zombie girl blows him a kiss, which is visualized as a black rotting pair of lips floating towards him. The episode ends with it having been a dream and the guy shrugs and walks like a zombie The second episode was about this guy who turns into a werewolf. There's a nerdy girl in his class who he's not into and she keeps saying "I looove hairy mennn." After the kid fully transforms into a werewolf he goes to her house and the episode ends with him basically being her dog.
openTv show cartoon homeless man purple mask/suit
Hey I’m trying to find a tv show cartoon near the 2000’s I beleave. It was about this homeless man who was really big and strong and wore a mask under his trench coat and the show itself was dark and gritty and there was this lady who lived in an apartment who kinda took him in and in the homeless mans head he would goto another world and fight army’s of these little black or white monsters with lots of teeth, and the bad guy was this creepy older man and but he had those little monsters in the real world as well and I’m pretty sure the homeless man had a purple suit and mask and I thiiiiink in the other world he had like blond hair or something and I remember the end the lady cut off the old bad guys head in the real world. For some reason I think the show is called The Mask but not the Jim Carey the mask or the cartoon version . I can’t find it anywhere
open80s or early 90s animated sci-fi about an expanding orb of black light
I saw this in the middle to late 90s on German television. Don't know if western or anime, movie or series. The characters were worried about a sphere of darkness/black light somewhere in the jungle, slowly expanding and possibly threatening the world. As far as I remember it resulted from a failed experiment that involved a military aircraft. People could enter said sphere but I don't remember if they could get out. Inside everything was black and white. Someone (a woman?) went in and got psychically affected, confused/panicked. The last thing I remember is that she fought someone in hand-to-hand combat, then it became too much for my 8-year-old self. I have been looking for this every few years without success, so it would be great if anyone could help!
openChildren's bible stories Western Animation
I'm looking for a tv show, animated, for kids, made in the late 1980s or early 1990s. There were a lot of songs in the show. One has to do with the miracles that god made with water, the chorus went " water water god....with water. God made many miracles with water, water". I feel like it was a combination of modern and old characters but I'm not certain on that bit.
openPossible Walt Disney Presents? 50's cartoon about the future from that time period Western Animation
My mom was trying to remember a cartoon from her childhood. She thinks it was part of Wonderful World of Disney or Disney's Wonderful World of Color or whatever it was. Though that's not solid 100%. All she remembers is that it was sort of simple animation, like line drawn type style, and it was about the future from that point forward. There was a little dude with a square like head that was going through a lab and there were beakers everywhere and these unknown entities grabbed him and started experimenting on him and then they kicked him out and thats all she really remembers. Any thoughts?

openCertain episode of an tv show that I don't know the name of
I can't remember the name of this tv show that I watched, I only remember a certain episode from it. In the episode one of the characters is very stressed out and over worked but he doesn't want to stop. His friends are very worried for him and try to help him in various ways, in the end he kinda agrees to try accupunture but he ends up hating it and leaves in the middle of it causing him to fall ill,and forcing him to take a break. I know this is weird but this has really been bothering me lately and I have no idea why.
Edited by LAmac124openMovie about man and woman implied to be autistic meeting; European and at most 2 years old Film
Movie mostly taking place in an animal slaughterhouse; a man and a woman (the protagonists) meet and they both are socially awkward (implied to be autistic, maybe?) but they connect.
Relatively recent movie, released in 2016, 2017 or 2018. Movie was Icelandic iirc, or from a Northern- or Eastern-European country.
A good looking, nice seeming guy befriends the daughter of a rich family living in the suburbs, and seems to be a good boyfriend, but he is really casing the parent's house for a group of other criminals. He goes over for dinner at some point, and is spotted by the girl's younger brother doing drugs. Later, he and the girl go out, and when they return, he duct tapes the girl because their criminal conspiracy is robbing the family. The parents and brother are duct-taped, but eventually escape, along with the girl, and fight off the criminals.
What's the title?
