openKids show about a world that can't function without music. Or music bubbles Western Animation
So I can't remember a kids show I used to watch about a world where there are different colored people (like pink and blue) and their world wouldn't function without music. There would be a tower or something that made bubbles and those bubbles carried music I guess? Anyways the world would stop and slowly turn gray if those bubbles weren't produced.
openA Children's Show from 1990's or Older Western Animation
I am trying to remember a show from my childhood that involves animals in a candy-themed world with trash crocodiles or alligators that live in the sewers. These bad creatures are trying to take over the candy world and make it a trash world like theirs. I don't remember any character names or more plot details. I know one of the candy animals gets tied up with licorice ropes though. We haven't been able to find anything on google. I don't think it was a full-length film, so it must be either a TV show (but I've only seen one episode) or a short movie. We had it on VHS. Any help to find the title or more details would be fantastic
openkid's show inside a cave i think...
I have this mental image of a kid's show that aired in Canada in the late 90s to mid 2000s probably, where these weird colourful characters lived and worked in a factory that was in a cave. I can't remember if it was animated or not but I don't think it was. I also remember an episode when they were working with colourful crystals. There also may have been a pond/lake in the cave. This has been bugging me for ages and my searches are leading me to a show called "Fraggle Rock" but I don't think that's it.
resolved Dinosaur Story Telling Western Animation
I recall a show about these dinosaur kids and they told stories, usually classic tales. I remember one was the Emporer's New Clothes, another was Rapunzel and another was the Midas Touch. Anyone else remember?
openWeird 2000s kids show
Okay, I have only a vague memory of this show because I watched it when I was quite young, but I can not find it anywhere! I believe it was made in the early 2000’s and it was set in a child’s room and we never saw the child but there were three “monsters” that would come out from under the bed and make this little town and play games and basically just be silly. They would use the kids items as parts of their play stuff (like shoes, brushes, shirts etc) and for some reason I feel like the girl was pink/purple and one of the guys was blue and the other was green? It wasn’t an animation show, people would have been dressed up in costumes and I watched it in Canada. I don’t know if that sounds familiar to anyone let me know! Thanks!
openSong From Obscure Band Music
So this is a fun one: I'm trying to find a song I remember next to nothing about, that I found exactly once through an accidental You Tube search. What I remember is a female vocalist, nihilistic lyrics, and an album cover that had giant white cranes standing in a city.
openI need help with a TV Show I can no longer remember.
I remember viewing a TV show and recently it has come into my head and has bugging me for a while now. I'm pretty sure the title was a number in the twenties, and whenever that number appeared somewhere something bad happened.
It would have aired between the 2000's-2010's.
I know it isn't much to go off but if you can provide some hints that would be great.
Edited by cluelessmindopen90’s or early 2000’s Film
Very vague memory of a cartoon movie/show that featured villains that look like the mayor from a nightmare before Christmas however more regular cartoon like. The villains met or lived in a black space like area. I used to rent it at blockbuster when I was a young child. Their heads popped off at times I’m pretty sure. It could have been its own video tape or possibly an extra before some other video. The villains are far triangular prisms with pointy heads and hats.
openWebcomic about a lady superhero Webcomic
This was a webcomic I thought looked interesting and planned to read later but I guess I never bookmarked it. I remember only a few things about it. The main character, or a least point of view character was this blonde woman who seemed to be some sort of law enforcement. And we're introduced to her hooking up with some guy in a car. I think he might also be a cop, later he's revealed to be her foster brother,and his older biological brother disapproves of that relationship.
There is a super hero/costumed vigilante type who is maybe the actual protagonist. Blonde lady is a fan of her and I think has posters of her in her house and stuff. They meet pretty early into the comic, maybe the superhero saves her life and I think she's met to be her love interest. The super hero lady, the blonde cop and the two brothers I think are all on different sides and that drives some of the conflict.
Does anyone know what this is?
openTwo old animated movies I can't remember! Film
Hi, my first post ever!
I want you to help me find these two movies, this is all I can remember about them:
1. A grim dark animated kids movie, little dance numbers included, with a kid who happens to kill a cat and then its ghost haunts and talks with him during the rest of the movie. Pretty messed up, I know.
2. An animated puppet movie (series?) with the, I would like to say, children of well known monsters. I think the protagonist was the son of Frankenstein's monster and that it happened in their school (which I think was a castle).
Any clue would be much appreciated, these two wreck my mind the days I remember them!
Edited by BlitzBloomopen'Imagine'-something-or-other Live Action TV
It was a show from around 2009, had a ton of primary-coloured gears. I think it had like 5 men in jumpsuits and lots of doors? It was either on Nick Jr. or Disney Jr. I remember it having 'imagine' in the title somewhere
openRPG For PS2 (Tactics game maybe?) Videogame
Okay, so this was years ago and I traded the game away but I'm really interested in finding out what it was. The game had I think pixel graphics and I can't remember much about the story besides that maybe the main character had amnesia but I'm not sure. The main mechanic of the game that I can remember was there were two magic rings, and one was red and would make people wild in combat and the other one was blue and would make them kind. Please help me out here :')
openseriesAdventure/Mystery Teen Live Action TV
I've searched all over trying to find this, but came up with nothing. It was a live-action show about high-school aged kids, but the main character, a blonde, fit, guy, solved mysteries or something. I seem to remember him having a british/australian accent but I am not sure. I think near the series finale he and his friends end up breaking into his dad/uncle/someones secret room and uncovering the truth behind someone's death? I know it's not a lot to go off of but it's been driving me crazy. I think it was the mid 2000's to early 2010's and was on cartoon network or discovery kids or something like that.
openStill Image Narration Only Show, Channel 4 Late Nights UK Mid to Late 2000s
Oh boy, this is going to be a tough one. There was this show that was being aired on Channel 4 in the UK in the dead zones about 1am-3am ish, I recall that it was originally a webshow that was being shown on TV. It was entirely still images made with 3D models, about a man and a girl, and I recall they were travelling across some sort of post apocalyptic America. It was narrated by the main character, who I believe was a Doctor, and he may have had something to do with the state of the world, and might have been looking for his wife, and his model looked suspiciously like Mass Effect 1 default Shepard. Really hope someone can help me out here as it's been bugging me for years.
openFinal Fantasy cutscene Videogame
Which Final Fantasy scene is this? I remember seeing it years - like, circa 2003 to 2005 - ago on E4.
It's from one of the PS 2 titles. X I'm guessing. All I remember is Rikku being in a stadium and some fighting (?) happening.
Edited by Pichu-kunopenbook about a praying mantis teacher Literature
A children's' book about sentient praying mantises from the future who come to Earth in the present and live among humans, using special pheromones to keep humanity from noticing. The protagonist, a grade school kid immune to the masquerade-inducing chemicals, has a mantis for a teacher and iirc has had him for a while, though doesn't say anything because no one else can tell.I want to say there's also an invasion by sentient wasps that the kid and mantis teacher have to stop, but at this point the details get fuzzy.
I think I remember the cover being a hand-drawn image of a mantis in front of, like, a chalkboard or something, and I thought I remembered it having an Exactly What It Says on the Tin title but google hasn't given me anything so I'm inclined to say I misremembered.
openVillain's girl-sidekick comic? Print Comic
I read it about a year ago, but it's about some teenager/young adult girl working for a villain. She wore a black jumpsuit and there was a guy that could turn into a mannequin, but he got smashed when he was in that form and survived as a ghost or something. Pretty sure there was time travel involved near the end of it. There was also another girl that could grow sentient carrots...?
openTV show / movie about reading minds Film
I remembered these days about a TV show or a movie that I used to watch when I was a kid and the only thing I could remember is that there was a necklace and the person (or a specific person) who wore it could read minds. Any ideas?
EDIT: when: 7-10 years ago where: the national tv post in Romania (TVR)
Edited by Quest515600
I remember something years ago with this kid that played with a tire and a stick, it had to have been within the 2000s. I think where was also some sort of animal character?
