Edited by HiRazeopenIt's vague, I'm sorry. Music
I'm looking for a band they released an album that's kinda soft metal? I don't know how describe it, very depressing emo style music though, released in the 2000s guy singing, the album cover had red seats that were all stuck together, like what you'd find in a bowling alley or train station or something. They weren't very popular at all, I know this is all probably in helpful but of you could just name some bands that this fits, I'd appreciate it, thank you.
Edited by PleasehelpmeopenNo Title Western Animation
Hi. I'm kind of stretching the rules here, I know, since this isn't actually a show (episode) I've watched. But since I have, quite literally been looking for it since before my age hit double digits, I think it might be okay to call for help in this.
In second or third grade, (9-10 years ago), I was really into Carebears. I found the Carebears official site online. In the facts and trivia page http://web.archive.org/web/20050301073233/http://www.care-bears.com/CareBears/html/history/funfacts.html, it mentions Bedtime Bear and Wish Bear switching their colors and a story later being written to explain it.
For more than half of my life, I've ranted to read this story/watch this episode. However, even massive amounts of googling over the years has yet to help me.
Can someone out there give me more information? Even at title, even whether the story is a book or an episode would be wonderful.
Thank you in advance, hopefully.
Edited by rachiebirdopenCrystal version of pokemon Western Animation
Okay.. So I've been searching for this tv show from my childhood. It's kind of like pokemon but instead of pokeballs they have crystals. It's in this huge fantasy universe and this normal kid gets transported there and learns how to use these crystals to capture monsters and stuff. One of his closest friends had purple dreadlocks and had a name similar to stag I think. It used to play on Netflix. If you know the show please tell me. I'm trying to find it but can't remember the name for the life of me.
openSpongebob Brickfilm Web Original
From what I can remember: It's about Spongebob's regular day working at the Krusty Krab until a Walker from Star Wars (don't remember if it's AT-AT or an AT-ST) shows up and tries to attack the Krusty Krab but Spongebob destroys the Walker by grabbing out a Lightsaber and reflecting the Walker's laser fire back at it. A man in wizard-like clothing comes out of the remains of the Walker and fights Spongebob with his own Lightsaber. But ultimately, Spongebob wins that fight as well. Don't remember much after that.
openAnime Movie from Early 2010's Anime
I remember renting a movie at Redbox sometime in the early 2010's. The movie itself probably came out anywhere from 2009 to 2013, maybe. I remember it was about a boy... and dragons, or something. The one scene I remember is from the very beginning. It was set in 1500s-1800s Japan, and a bunch of men were gathered outside a village and started firing arrows at a dragon that came toward them. One of them said, "those bastards keep coming our way!", or something. I know that's a little vague, but any help is appreciated.

I remember a sex-comedy about a fat guy, very similar to Uncle Vernon btw maybe the same actor, who is some sort of salesman, and he is like in a hotel, becames the lover of a very hot blonde woman (who sleeps with him just for some sort of economic deal) and the problem is that his wife happens to land in the same hotel and he has to hide the blonde girl from her, when the blonde girl discovers his wife she starts blackmailing him.

Can someone tell me what the sample starting at 2:04 is saying and what language (I think it's Spanish but can't make out any words) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id4splHS8vM
Edited by BootlebatopenDisney Channel show
About a boy with a robot friend. He had a time machine and brought famous people from the past to visit and a magic bookcase that brought literary characters to life. The episodes were intercut with animated shorts including (I think) an animal version of classic monsters. A Jekyll/Hyde-esque dog played an organ if I am remembering right.
openChinese TV Show Live Action TV
I remember watching a TV show a few years ago on my grandma's tv. It was about a Chinese girl (like about pre-teen?) and her younger brother (about eight yrs old or something) whose dad was taken away from them because he's a businessman or something. Their mom got really sick (I remember a scene where she coughed out blood) and their grandma jumped off a cliff, so the siblings had to go look for their father. They go through many places searching for them; I remember they reside in this place where a fat guy forces children to steal money for him in exchange for giving them food. If they fail, they don't get food. If they try to leave, they get punished. The siblings thus try to steal (but out of the goodness of their hearts they fail), and coincidentally the younger brother tries to steal from his father. They don't recognize each other, though. Oh, and the dad remarried or something.
I've tried searching the TV show title up, but to no avail. Does anyone know? I would very much like to rewatch it.
openHorror movie comedy with Dracula, Igor and Zombies (is not Monster Mash) Film
I remember a movie about four or five young guys I think in Transilvania, they go to the castle of a vampire, the typical Lugosi-like suit of vampire and has a hunchback servant. The vampire told the kids they have to kill him before sunrise or he kills them. I also remember the vampire has a group of zombies in the dungeons feed by Igor with raw meat (a similar scene of the one in People Behind the Stairs) and also some weird green-skinned actors trapped in a room that they watch from the roof of the room, it was a comedy but with some very disturbing ideas. At the end the vampire is killed, Igor releases all the zombies and the kids escape followed by Igor.
Edited by LuppercusopenOld CGI cartoon aired somewhere late 90s early 2000s
As a kid I used to watch a cartoon that was about somekind of red robot battling a black robot with one eye. In the series the robots had these sort of transformations that made them more powerfull and at the very beggining of each transformation on one of the robots chests there was something like a mark shows the letter "Z" I think and it served as a sign that the transformation is starting. Also there were something like weird rock-like people that were something like a tribe, but they had the power to merge and become one giant tough fighter. Another thing in the cartoon there was a little girl that the red robot protects and this girl helps the robot for one of its transformations. That is all I could remember about the cartoon. Ah, the father of the girl is some kind of scientist that helps to repair the robot. That's all I could remember. The cartoon was aired on somekind of German program (the cable technology was different back then) something like RTL maybe.
Edited by EfficaciousHuddleopenChildren kidnapped and taken to steampunk style world to operate industrial machinery? Live Action TV
I'm pretty sure I remember being shown a vhs of this show at a British primary school sometime around 1996-98. The name of the show had something to do with a key I think. It featured children being kidnapped by villains from an alternate reality (I think) who then put them to work operating some kind of steampunk industrial machinery. I remember the villain being a woman dressed in red who wore what looked like an upside down tophat.
openOld Flash game related to a Cartoon Network/Toonami show? Videogame
Years ago, in the early to mid 2000s, I remember playing this very gritty and dark tactical flash game. I was only 6-10 years old, and my memory of it is somehow both specific and vague at the same time. I'm almost positive it was Flash, since I remember installing it and Shockwave to play other games on the same website. I'm pretty sure it was the Cartoon Network website, it had to be related to an anime on Toonami but I can't find which one. This would have been somewhere from 2003-2007, maybe as late as 2008.
Since I remember it as Toonami, I looked up the shows they ran. This game had giant robots, so I know a lot of people would think it's related to Gundam, but I don't remember the robots being brightly colored.
The game may or may not have had music, I know it had sound effects. You picked a character, and there were something like 4-6 of them, all outside their powered exo-suits. Once you picked a character, I can't remember how it handled levels, but when you got into it, it was a turn-based isometric thing. You had several characters under your control at once, and you each had points to spend on moving and attacking. There were melee attacks with huge swords, or various ranged attacks with guns. When you defeated an enemy, a pod would launch out of the top of the exosuit, and the exosuit would explode or fall over, I think. There were ruined buildings as obstacles, and I just remember getting this sense of dread from playing the game. Though, to be fair, I was a very frightful child... Dexter's Laboratory used to give me nightmares, and I'm still traumatized by Courage the Cowardly Dog to this day.
I never remember getting very far into the game, but I do remember two maps distinctly; A large square map, which was large enough that you needed to scroll around to see it all, and at least two sides of it had cliffs on the edges. The middle had ruined buildings, the ground was mostly grass and open so you could walk anywhere. I think there were 3-5 enemies on this map, and you had at least one ally. The other map was a narrow strip, you still had to scroll but only diagonally. There were the same number of enemies, but I can't remember if there were any allies. I remember it as having sandy hot desert terrain.
If I saw a picture from the game I'm sure I'd recognize it immediately, I have a good visual memory. I've wanted to go back and play this game to completion because looking back on it I remember it as being really fun, and something I'd enjoy a whole lot more now than I did back then.
Okay, so I'm literally driving myself insane trying to find a cartoon about this cartoon I watched when I was a little kid. Okay, so this girl saves dogs, and like she saves one of them & names him magic. Because he can talk, but he can only talk if he has his name tag & like in one of the episodes he loses his name tag. Okay, but honestly I've been trying to find it for over a year (and not for the fact I want to watch it, but because my mum doesn't believe it was real WHEN I USED TO WATCH IT WITH HER EVERYDAY) & it's literally driving me insane, like I've googled everything I can to try to find it, but it's like it doesn't exist. Okay, but honestly does anybody at all know what I'm talking about? Like please someone tell me if you know the name of this show.
