open2000s Cartoon Western Animation
So there was this cartoon I watched years ago It was about a boy who can see monsters or evil spirits and lives in a house full of them and he’d go hunting monsters and stuff I also remember his neighbor it was this girl his age I think she was supposed to be his girlfriend or something? I really can’t remember I don’t remember the exact year but it definitely was a 2000s show also it was a bit more darker than usual cartoons and it had a lot of action It wasn’t really popular Any ideas? (Sorry for my bad english)
openCartoon Vegetable Beauty Pageant Western Animation
I saw this in Europe in 1998-1999, it seemed like an episode of a cartoon series. The good guys and bad guys staged a beauty pageant where the contestants were anthropomorphic vegetables. The bag guys contestants (especially a beautiful, dolled-up eggplant) seemed to be winning. On the good guys team is "Ms. Onion" who everyone looks at her and laughs. She then goes off and cries on a bridge somewhere (maybe she going to jump off?) when someone (I think it was a carrot in a trenchcoat) comes along and tells her to snap out of it. They return to the beauty pageant where she goes up against Ms. Eggplant (seems like its a one-on-one contest). At some point the bright lights (or maybe some sort of bomb set off by the bad guys to sabotage her) make her onion skin peel away and everyone gasps and says "She's become even more beautiful." I guess she and the good guys win then. Has anyone seen this? I can't find information on it everywhere. As I said, it seemed like it was one episode of a series.
Edited by TMIMeegopenKids TV show, mid 2000s?
There's this TV show I use to watch as a kid (I'm 19 now) that this guy would walk into his apartment all funny and wore his pants real high. He had really greasy hair and had one curl stuck to his forehead because it was so greasy. I remember he had a closet and every time he opened it everything would fall out. Help!
openLooking for a TV series/film? PLEASE HELP Live Action TV
I am pretty sure it’s a TV series but could be a film. Simply cannot remember what it is but all I can remember is I think a serial killer or a paedophile dresses up as a security guard and police/agent finds him standing outside a school. Also, a child goes missing in the area and I think he/she was wearing something blue/red and an agent/police asks school kids if they saw anything but he finds a route where the child might have gone down. Someone please help me find what this tv series or film is, driving me crazy! Many thanks.

openNeed help finding Anime-style Western cartoon Western Animation
I saw this cartoon over 10 years ago in spanish in Argentina. I don't know what channel it aired on or who worked on it or what the name of it was. It's a mystery that's plagued me ever since, and I'm hoping somebody hear can help me find it. From what I remember, the story was about the world's population being turned completely into stone except for some people. There was an overweight guy with a guy and an Asian woman who was blindfolded with a sword. The cause of all of humanity turning into stone were these singers who had Medusa like powers, where everything that looked in their eyes turned into stone. Even cameras and shit. For some reason, they even had vampire fangs. The cartoon ends with the guy and the Asian lady teaming up to kill the Medusa singer, but they ultimately failed. Even though she was blindfolded, the Asian girl is turned into stone and cracks after one of the Medusa singers screamed in her ear. The guy is also turned into stone, with the cartoon cutting to black after his head falls on the floor and breaks. The animation style was definitely anime-inspired, with of Western comics-style inking. Something like Aeon Flux. This is all I can remember. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, please tell me. I've tried for years to find it, and it's a mystery that occasionally pops up in my head every so often. Thanks.
openAn online game Videogame
When I was young there was an online game probably on Nick Jr’s website about Blue’s Clues. It had you looking around Blue’s house and outside in the streets, playing the Blue’s Clues intro. One of my favourite things was going to a basketball court and just going around in circles. Do you know if Nick Jr still has this up and what it’s called?
openWhat was the show/movie? Live Action TV
This has been torturing me for over 20 years.
I have a vague recollection of an early to mid 80s television show or movie in which a woman is reliving traumatic moments from her past during a car ride in a violent rain storm.
I have a faint idea this was from an anthology program like Tales From The Darkside or the 80s version of the Twilight Zone but I've not been able to find anything.
Any ideas?
openTwo games? Videogame
The first game is a web game (Flash, maybe) about making redheads. You were a red headed guy who is trying to make more redheads. You impregnate women (no visuals) and they have children after a while. The goal was to get a certain number of redheads by the end of the time limit (I believe). They don't always have redheads, though. It wasn't a dating game, more like an arcade game. I believe it was called something like "Invasions of the redheads".
The second game was a (I believe) steam choose-your-own-adventure game. I thought it was called something like "The Earth Explodes" (No Commander Keen) or "The Earth is Yellow". I believe your choices affected what happens to the earth. I believe the example in the description was that you could end up making the earth yellow. That's all I remember.
openA Vague Memory Film
I apologize ahead of time because this is pretty vague but here goes: When I was fairly young (sometime in the 90s) I saw my dad watching some movie (or maybe it was a tv show but looked like a movie) I only saw 2 scenes as far as I can remember which were 1. A Drill Sergeant type guy yelling at some privates and 2. Said drill sergeant guy getting in a hand to hand fight with a female soldier who outranked him (she won the fight). I remember the girl soldier had blond hair and was pretty hot but don't remember what the drill sergeant guy looked like.

openA 2d foreign animation about a boy who is the last of his kind who can fly
Okay here is what I remember I saw this early 2000's, it was a 2d animated foreign film [Either French, Japanese or something else] and it had a vibrant colour palette [with a watercolour-esq style?].
Fantasy with futuristic technology A young boy with blonde hair and pale skin is the last of his kind of a people who could fly He meets a girl with dark hair and she helps him He is hunted down by an evil military guy who is a leader/general of sorts in a giant red skyship In the end, the boy is naked and flies up embracing the girl while he is being targeted by stationed military He is shot down and struggles to bring the girl back down safely The boy dies I THINK his spirit does something to the ship to ruin it and then he passes on while being welcomed by the spirits of his kind.
This is a special, nostalgic film to my childhood as it is one of the first things that moved me. If you know anything please share! Thank you so much for your time.

openCartoon. Talking animals. Frog that only says ruby Western Animation

openAdult Reasoning with a Child under the influence
There was something happening where everyone was acting high or something, including a kid who had some very important control that was essential for getting everything back to normal. This is a paraphrase of their exchange:
- Man: [Child's Name], you are not in your right mind.Kid: Is that why I feel all hot...and weird?Man: (Getting hopeful) Yes! That's it!Kid: (Big, goofy grin) So I'm drunk!Man sighs/facepalms/something of that equivalent
I have a vague memory of a cartoon that I saw when I was a kid (early 2000s). I think it was about anthropomorphic animals living in a forest. The only episode I remember was something about one of them finding gold in the river(?) and gold fever spreading throughout the forest. I think it was British, but I could be wrong there.
