open80s or 90s animated movie about kids solving math Film
I watched this movie as a kid. Not really sure when it came out. It was the 80s or 90s. The movie starts with a black boy and white girl. They go into the computer to help this world solve math problems. One of the problems they solve is a about pizza and fractions. When they solved all of the problems, they go back to their home out of the computer.

openSeries with some kind of material that becomes what you're thinking of Literature
I remember reading (probably on this very site) about some series with a material that is like, literally nothing, but it reacts to thoughts and if someone gets near it it becomes whatever that person is thinking about. Any idea what story that's from?
openLate 1960s kids to show with a floating giant pumpkin as monster
Hi. This was a British or Australian fantasy children's TV show in the late 1960s. It was set in a woods,and garden. The children were stranded there, and they had to avoid a huge floating pumpkin, maybe 2-3 metres in diameter and slow moving. I am a bit hazy on what happened if it touched you, possibly swallowed you?
openA Children's Book about Bears (?) Literature
Does anyone remember this children's book (80s or 90s?) about these two little bears siblings (90% sure they were bears). Their parents went out for the evening and then the bear children got really scared because they thought there was a monster outside, and they couldn’t wake up their babysitter who kept sleeping on a comfy chair.Eventually, their parents came back and they found out the monster was just a kite that got stuck in a tree and then they all ate cookies. I'm pretty sure the big babysitter bear says "me three" when the parents ask who wants cookies. It s driving me absolutely insane trying to remember. Please ease my pain. Thank you.

openHELP trying to find the name of a TV show
I'm trying to find the name of an old TV show I think from the 70's I believe it was on Friday nights. The series didn't last long. it was kind of on the order of the Twilight Zone or Night Gallery. I don't k now but I think it was on ABC. Anyway in one particular episode (different episodes all the time) as best i can remember there was a little boy always dressed as a little girl. He might have lived with his grandparents. He thought he was a little girl until he saw a book with a picture of naked little boy in it. That's all i can remember. My memory is fading. Any help would be greatly appreciated It's been driving me nuts trying to think of it.
openWhat show is this character from? Film
I'm desperate to know what show this audio clip is from: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yj8xcz1oppa5vfa/where+is+this+from.mp3 I've been looking absolutely everywhere, tried the exact script used here and found nothing.
(the audio was from an old youtube video clip that itself had nothing to do with the show, however it was published to youtube in 2012 so its safe to say that the show this audio is from is old)
what I'm getting from this clip
- it has a child character named Juli/julie(?) whose mother committed suicide and she tried to stop her - english drama tv show/movie(?) - the scene overall sounds very 'heavy', dunno what genres would fit for this.
openCan't remember this kids show Live Action TV
Back in the late 1990s (or maybe 2000 at the latest) there was a kids show that aired in the US on the weekends featuring two "monsters" — a brother and a sister, which were actually people dressed in costume. Everything was live action and the monsters were the hosts. The sister was bright pink and the brother bright blue. Both were fluffy and cute, and I think had large pointy ears...they looked a bit like Fennec foxes, actually. The show was educational.
openRita? Baby? Netflix? Unwritten song? Garage? Singer? HELLLPPPPP MEEE!! Film

I don’t know if i remember watching it on Netflix or on something else but heres what i do remember. I remember one part where it was this blonde woman and she could play the guitar. i think… i also remember a garage being a huge part of the show. i don’t know if she sang in the garage and if that was her thing.

openAnimated Kids TV Show
I live in Germany where it was aired somewhere between 2007 and 2014, I don't remember the channel I watched it on. I believe it was a western animation, it's just a guess though. The shows main character was a very traditional example of a badass dude who's always wearing a red suit and a helmet with I think was a yellow stripe on it. He would always do risky stunts and all other kinds of dangerous, cool stuff and do the rock'n'roll hand in the air thing (I don't know how to describe it). I vaguely remember two episodes, one where he entered class late and had to explain what happened to the teacher, which led to him telling a story, that at the end nobody believed, about how he and a friend (also attending the class, classical not so-cool but lovable sidekick guy) exploring some kind of sewer dungeon and fighting a huge dragon sized rat (or something similar) with the main character ending up being eaten by it but somehow escaping. In the second episode, he's got this bike or tricycle which is sacred to him and nobody's allowed to even touch it, he turns away for just a second and it's gone the next one and it turns out that his sister (I think) "stole it" and turned it into a pink glittering mess. I hope someone will be able to help me find it, because I tried for days. Thanks!!!

openMovie about morphine addiction Film
so i have this vivid memory of a movie that i could have sworn starred jason lee, but it's not in his filmography. the movie centers on morphine or oxycontin addicts who commit robberies for pills, and it ends in a shitty motel where the main character decides hes done with the drugs.
openLooking for a children's video game from the early 2000s Videogame
It may have been a Jumpstart game. It was a 3d free-roaming/open world edutainment game where you wandered around a small area and played minigames. I remember clearly a minigame with an elephant girl (possibly Eleanor the Jump Start All-Star?) where you'd run around in a field catching flutterbyes- not butterflies, that's what she called them. I also vaguely remember a 2d space-themed minigame where you'd press the spacebar to do something. I think it was a space invaders rip-off. There was... something involving tubes? And something with keeping pets? And a restuarant/cafe thing I could never enter without the game crashing? That's about all I can remember.
EDIT: i found it its jumpstart 3d virtual world pack it up boys were done for the day thanks

This was an animated movie about a dog. He stood up and worked at a factory with his best friend. She was a female dog. It was snowing, but They went out for ice cream and then I believe she went home and set up a vacation/paradise for the boy dog. She invited him over and they sat in a baby pool with palm trees.
