open80s kids cartoon Western Animation
Hi, I am trying to find an old cartoon I enjoyed as a kid, from either the 80s or early 90s. The name is something like 'Les Jontas', either french or spanish made I think, could be wrong, even through it aired on New Zealand TV. They didn't actually speak a language in it. It was a kinda cartoon, and it was all in plan view -looking down, and it was a social setting seeing coloured dots moving around, supposed to be the top view of the heads of people I guess. It was usually humourous with someone causing a raucous and being chased or causing a fight, and groups moving in and out of buildings. So you would see like a bunch of orange dots and the protagonist yellow dot move amongst them, and they would shake a litte for whichever one was speaking, but what they said didn't matter, you could infer from shouting, or whisper etc, it was quite clever in that way.
openAn old cartoon seemed to have vanished from everywhere :/
Well the problem is it wasn't series or anything, it was just a film cartoon. As much as I can remember it was 2D. It all starts with a family living in the countryside and owning a ferris wheel, there was the father mother and that little funny cute girl. She had an uncle I guess who happened to turn into a king one day and coming back against the family. He owned a remotely controlled creature, I ain't too sure what it was, but I reckon some kind of giant machine of either a turkey, dragon or chicken. But he used it to impose his rule... Well it's been YEARS since I've been trying me and my twin brother to figure out the name or anything to find it again because we've watch it together in our early childhood... And the scene we mostly remember was the time two guys of the police came to arrest the family members and they were asking for the father who had been hiding and then that innocent girl shouted: "Mom, Pavo is hiding" I am not sure about Pavo maybe she said Papa but I'd love if I could find it back guys, thanks in advance for your help!!

openTv programme
Hi! I am searching for the name of a programme I watched years ago. Basically a male British presenter tries a selection of the hardest jobs in the world. Getting to know the people in the trade and what makes them do the job they do. From experience I remembered the presenter tried Canadian/American logging and also working at an Australian mine where he eventually completed his dump or “haul truck” test. Many thanks Dan

openHallmark movie Film
I have seen this movie a long time ago and somehow it came in my mind but I can't remember the title anymore. All I can remember that it was a drama, shown on Hallmark if I am not mistaken. There was this badass criminal guy, had a son who had leukemia I think and needed a blood transfusion. The woman in lead was a blondie. I can't really remember much, just some moments. If you have any tips, please help me out. :)
Edited by Chi91openWhich show is this?
All I can remember is that there was a little boy who would try something knew each weak, be it karate, horse riding or whatever. Eventually the actor was replaced with a younger Asian girl. Plz help me know what show this is (obviously not animated)
openWedding Dance that leads to Death Film
I watched this scene from what I think is a movie a long time ago. It featured a senior man dancing at a wedding, and a gunman appears from behind and starts firing shots every so often. The man says, "Ooh! Ah!" as if he's showing off, but when he notices the blood on his outfit and notices the gunman, he falls to the ground in slow-motion as the entire crowd panics. What is this from?
open Film
It was about 2015, and I believe it was on Cartoon Network, not sure.
There was this movie playing about this little ginger girl with a cane (never explained) and her dog (it was white with black spots if I remember correctly) who was in some sort of hellhole. I don't remember much because I was very tired and it was two years ago, but if you have any idea what I'm talking about, please tell me.
openLego-Like kids? Anime
I'm putting this under anime because I remember watching it on a website that hosts anime, but it could've been a cartoon. It was about this group of four or five kids that in the first episode walked into an antique shop (though I can't remember if all four or five were together in the first episode. I think only three of them were there) and found what looked like Lego pieces. The pieces were blue yellow and red i believe but I could be wrong. Anyway these 'lego pieces' bonded with the kids and the old man that owned the antique shop showed them a portal to a different dimension and when they went through it they turned into lego-like characters (everyone else in the dimension were also Lego like people). At the end of season one I faintly remember them turning gold and becoming much more powerful because of it. Sorry if I'm bad at explaining it English isn't my first language
open2000's cartoon/anime Anime
I'm not sure if this was anime or just a cartoon because I was pretty young at the time, like early 2000's. The scene I remember is a group of 4 or 5 people, with a mix of girls and guys, were in this multi-story room with wooden barrels and and wooden floors and similar things, fighting this vampire-esque thing that could possess people, and possessed each of the members of the group so they would fight each other. There was a younger girl and a large guy in the group and a few others. The fight scene had a part where a bigger guy was thrown through some wooden barrel or support or table, and ended with one of the group bursting out of a door from that room and running away down a hallway. I get the feeling that the vampire was just the bad guy for that episode or arc, not to the show in general. Any ideas?
openA TWO IDENTICAL CHARACTER CARTOONS LIVING IN SAME WOODEN HOUSE AND THEY NEVER SPOKE
In 90s I watched this cartoon could be Japanese or could be American. I have only vivid memories but I remember I really like them. It had two similar looking human like probably bald characters, brothers or may be twins. Living in a wooden house and they never spoke like Charlie Chaplin but move like him. In every episode they will go about their daily chore and one of them will mess things up and than they will try to fix it or build it. They will mess more things and get in lot of trouble doing that and all that was hilarious. Another interesting thing about them was they were more 3D that other cartoons of those years, a different kind of graphics and animation. They were probably not famous but I liked them and trying to find them to watch again with my kids. I watched them in Pakistan so not sure about network as PTV must have exported them from some other network. Ring a bell?

Edited by thestormtrooperopenMovie/kids shows I watched growing up Film
Hey guys this has been bugging me for a while. When I was a kid I would go over to my grandma's house and watch this one specific film about I would say four human sized animal friends hanging out. It was on a vhs tape. All I really remember is that there was one scene where the friends were lying in some grass looking up at the could sand every one said what they saw (example: a bird or a dog) well this blue bird character said I see a cloud in a kinda deep voice. That's all I remember I've tried contacting all family members that I remember watching it with to no success and I've even tried looking for the actual tape but nope I can't find it
I really hope someone can tell me what I'm thinking of so I can watch it again and maybe even show it to my kids one day.
openPixie/Elf Transformation Cartoon/Anime Western Animation
Okay. There is a work, where a girl goes to a magical ream, thanks to a grandparent's journal, and it's a cartoon or anime, I THINK European Cartoon...and she turns into either an Elf or a Pixie/Fairy. It is kinda similar to Lego Elves...and it TASKS ME!
I remember watching this program about real life accidents in which one of the segments I watched was a man having trouble drilling a hole in a tree in his back. One of his methods was shooting it with a gun, in which the bullet ricochets and hits a woman in the chest. The woman is then seen on a gurney crying in pain where she eventually dies. What show is this from?
