openSome kind of monster show Western Animation

openIt was on a vhs my grandma played for me
Long shot but I can’t get it out of my head
Roughly 18 years ago when I was a kid (I’m saying around 2000-2003) don’t know exact date the show/movie was released but the time frame I watched it wasn’t early 2000s
My grandma had a vhs, there was a cartoon the animation style was old but not sure on exact time it was out but it was just a short 30-60 minutes
The was an old man in the cartoon, he was short and had a hat if I remember correctly And he tried taking/stealing a “treasure” from a small girl, I believe it was eggs but I’m not 100% on that I just know it was some type of “treasure”
At one point the girl is in an abandoned/collapsing building and the walls start closing in on her. Another part I vaguely remember is someone is running down steps and they drop the “treasure” and have to run back for it as someone is chasing them?
I’m sorry my information is lacking it’s just all I can remember and lately I can’t get it out of my head and I’d really like to just be able to see it again to help my memory
It’s not Angels Egg Or the Resucers
I think the girl may have had an animal with her either monkey or a dog? If anyone can help I’d be extremely grateful and I know with my limited information it’s a long shot but I’ve checked so many other sites
openThat cartoon/show where the characters fight with symbols
There was this one show I used to watch half a decade or so back and it was where the characters (who I remember to be kids) fight with symbols like yin, Yang, Omega, and things like that. I couldn't remember if it was anime or Western, the artstyle seemed to be leaning towards Western but I really can't remember
openI thought it was an episode of Galactica or Battlestar Galactica... Live Action TV
This episode would have been early 90's but likely the 80's. I swear it involved a character Captain Starbuck(s) ? but I have Googled all the episodes and can't find anything that sounds like it so maybe it has nothing to do with Galactica. Anyways all I remember is that the main character stops these kids from playing this flute. The music attracts something bad and the main character realizes that it's the flute music. My guess is some kind of monster. It was a creepy episode and I feel like it was a science fiction type of show.

Edited by KnowingUrsineopenCartoon super hero show Western Animation
I remember all of like two things from a post somewhere months ago.
Superhero lady with an alter ego that was androgynous. Pretty sure it wasn't an American show. Looked neat, always meant to check it out. Can't remember the name and it's driivng me up the wall.
openSci-Fi Show?
Hi, so some details I remember from the show are there was this older guy I think was in his 70s who was rich, he was killed but his death made to look like a suicide by these 2 men who threw him off a bridge. He gets resurrected into this younger guy who I believe was in his 30s. I know there was this tube that he would have to go into in order to heal him and keep him alive. And i know that he would have to go in a few hour otherwise he'd pass out, and that's really all i remember.
openStrange children’s cooking show? Live Action TV
I vaguely remember watching a show for kids about a man who would cook with the assistance of a orange gorilla like creature who lived in a cave. The setting was made to look like it was outdoors in some dessert or jungle type place? I’m not really sure it was a while ago that I saw this show but I cant seem to find it any where. Not sure if it was an Australian show or a foreign show that aired in Australia. Judging from what I remember I don’t think it was created earlier than the 2000s.
openOld show they played in middle school about a library Live Action TV
I can't remember the name of this show I watched in middle school. I watched in early 2000s but it looked a little old so maybe it was made in the 90s? I remember a boy would go to this library and the librarian was an old guy and the kid I think would tell the librarian about something that happened that day and the librarian would give him a book. I remember the Anne Frank episode where the kid went to like a holocaust museum or something and the book took him to Anne Frank's time so he could experience it himself? I remember the kid who talk to the librarian, get a book, and be transported to the time the book is set in.
It was one of my favorite things about middle school and I was wanting to see if I could find it to watch again.
Edited by SteampunkeropenPLEASE HELP!

openShort bits of Electronic Songs Music
I got this MP 3 player around 2008 that already had a bunch of songs on it. They were all "real" songs (as in, by famous artists rather than the typical array of default MP 3 player songs by people you've never heard of), but this one was different. It was this electronic song that seemed to be made up of several short "snippets" of other electronic songs. They didn't really fade into each other, each part just sort of abruptly ended, and the next immediately started. One part in particular I remember sounding a lot like (or even being the same song) as the theme from the Fairly Odd Parents episode "Information Stupor Highway", when Timmy is flying through the internet. (if anyone knows what that song is, it may help too) I don't have any memory of who the artist might have been, but I remember the song itself having a name that consisted of just numbers and/or letters, maybe. Kind of like YYZ by Rush or Afx 237 v.7 by Aphex Twin (those are just examples, I know it wasn't either of those songs). I say maybe because YYZ was actually on the same MP 3 player, and I might just be confusing the two names. Also, I doubt this will help, but the MP 3 player was Craftsman brand. Again, any help is much appreciated.
openTwo Deleted Nickelodeon Online Games Videogame
Does anyone know which games I'm thinking of? I'm having a hard time finding anything on them online. I remember them being Teen Nick (The N?) games circa 2008-2011.
One was a dating sim. I remember it being on The N's website.
The other was probably on The N as well. I remember you being able to create a character. It was a high school sim. You could date and other things. I don't think it was a MMO.
openSome show i cant remember Western Animation
I cannot seem to remember the name of a show. I think it was on Nicktoons or something like that during the 2000's. It was about a teen with i think a red jacket and blonde hair who could transform into a mutant or something. I thought his first name was Johnny or Danny but im not sure. I remember a stupid mini-ad saying what if his last name was avocado. If anyone knows please say cuz its killing me that i cant remember
openFrench? Rock Song Music
I saw a music video circa 2003. It was on a compilation VHS of European music videos. The blonde female singer kept screaming something along the lines of "C'est Le Rock!" while a group of teenagers tore through a brick wall with their bare hands. And no, it is most definitely not the Ebonys song with that title. Or the Plastic Bertrand one. Does anyone know what this song was called, or who was singing it? "C'est Le Rock" may or may not be the title, but if I knew the name of the artist, I would probably be able to find the song. There are an awful lot of songs with names similar to that phrase.

openRed pickup, missing mom and tarot cards Live Action TV
Ya know I haven't been lucky with these but maybe this will change?
I remember this show that used to air in my home province of Quebec, probably late 80s, probably early 90s. It's a bit of a vague period for me. I didn't actually like it much because it was live action on the channel that usually aired cartoons and it annoyed me but now I'm curious.
It feature this guy (I'd say late 20s, early 30s, very generic jeans and t-shirt blue collar look) who I think had been adopted and he was looking to find the identity of his birth mother. He would go around the country in a pickup truck, possibly red (though my neigbhor had a red pickup truck at the time so I might be conflating it?) and each episode began with a shot of a tarot cards and a woman explaining its meaning. It's possible the tarot deck was a clue to find his mom?
I think he finds out he has a sister and his real name was 'Sun'?
I think the show was Canadian because I CLEARLY remember the pickup truck going down an empty road in the middle of this super flat field in almost every episode. Possibly the opening?
Any help would be appreciated.
openAnime that aired on 4Kids Anime
The first episode had the protagonist looking for something to give his mom for her birthday/Mother's Day. He decides on getting her this jewelry(?) box he found in a shop, but comes home to find his mother missing and his house burning down.
He quickly finds out that he's either an alien that looks human or a human that can gain lion/tiger features. He's forced to join this group who fights people that can gain draconic features. They use scanners and cards to boost their abilities, and are possibly on a quest to find more?
openBoard game movie? Film
There were two kids, brothers. I don't think they got along well. They find a board game and start playing it, which starts messing with reality, including freezing their sister and bringing in a astronaut that turns out to be a previous player of the game.
It's not Jumanji.
openTraveling to Find Gems Anime
There was an anime pre- "Pokemon" the animation. About a guy early teens looking for gems and the gems would add to a mecha suit. The gems each had their own power, and the guy was traveling across the country to fight this bad guy. I don't know what happened at the end because I didn't see him fight the bad guy. Green was a big color in the show, and most people had dark brown hair.
About 12 years ago, when I was visiting relatives halfway around the world, they had some different programming on their local versions of American TV channels like Cartoon Network. I can remember two of these shows, but not their titles:
