open"I have need of you" sci fi show Live Action TV
I'm pretty sure this was a sci fi tv show of the 90s but it could have been a movie for all I know. There is a guy character and he is bonded to a female character. He had some kind of neck tattoo and she would touch it and say, "I have need of you", and then he would I think turn into something? Maybe a bird? My strongest memories are of touching the tat and saying "I have need of you". I hope someone can remember

openRed Moon anime (Not the 11eyes anime) Anime
I'm trying to find an anime about a group of (I think)students that have to fight off monsters whenever a red moon appear. I don't remember much of it, but there is one part in an episode that stands out. The students are relaxing someplace when the moon appears. Some of the students go into some tomb like place where there is a door and two torches. I believe there were some murals or hieroglyphs saying that to get the door open they have to change the color of the flames from red to (I think)blue and green. They do this by putting something in both of the torches. I asked this question before and got the 11eyes anime for an answer. I watched it, and it was not this anime.

Thank you.
openSome sort of action-spy show from the 90's or early '00's Western Animation
I remember watching this on a channel that had poor reception so I never quite caught the name. I think it was CG but may have been a cartoon with CG scenes slipped in. The main hero was this Mission Impossible sort of spy who had this ability where he slowed down time mentally and picked out objects that could get him out of the current situation. Sort of like Bullet time Macguyver vision or something out of a video game QTE. He had a few partners but all I remember of them was this one woman with a nasal, high pitched voice and blue hair. The only scene that I remember clearly is her and the main heros other friends yelling advice on how to defuse a bomb (With her yelling it's always the red wire) only for him to toss it out the window and her saying "Well I could have done that!"
openKids novel series about a Space Fairing School Girl Literature
I've been unable to track this book series down, it was partially illustrated and followed the adventures of a school girl who gets taken on adventures by a group of aliens or possibly time travelers (maybe both). One of the companions is a purple alien that's drawn as a floating smiley face but is described as being book shaped or something different. The group makes sure no-one notices she's gone by having an android replica stand in for her, and in one of the books she points out that she's older now, so the robot doesn't look like her anymore, only for the android to update its appearance right then and there. I don't know when it was made but I think I read it before 2003 so maybe a late 90's Book series?
openWeird late 80's/early 90's kids show (possible vhs exclusive) Live Action TV
Okay so I apologize for the lack of detail because this goes back to my earliest memories.
It was just a woman in front of a green screen, i think she could draw things with a magic wand or something. I remember the intro had her drawing a sled and riding it down a hill.
Each episode had an educational theme like Space or Dinosaurs or general science. I remember my friend had a set with 3 VHS tapes of it. I randomly think about this show like once a year and can never find it because i recall so little
openAired somewhere around 2010-2014 Western Animation
it was a cartoon about a boy who could see monsters and started fighting them, he also had a talking I think yellow cat with some brown spots on it, that explained things to him along the way. Nobody else but the boy and the cat can see said monsters.
openUK Anti-Bullying Website Web Original
I remember finding this anti-bullying website (ironically, while trying to find a completely different anti bullying website with different characters) with several different characters talking about their experiences being bullied: one is a Traveller girl whose father has died, one is a gay teen boy hiding his sexuality, etc. I’ve searched the web but can’t seem to find it. The webpage was a kind of grayish blue color, with the drawings of the characters not having any color. Any idea where I could find this?
openWiiware mario style platformer with freezing gimmick Videogame
So there was a game, I think it was a wiiware or Wii U indie game where you play a girl with a camera that you can use to freeze moving platforms. It was a 3rd person platformer. Any help is appreciated.
openAnimated Series featuring a Steam engine. Western Animation
I vaguely remember watching this show either in the late 90s or early 2000s. Don't remember much, but here's what I do know:
1. The main characters were a train driver/engineer and a young boy. 2. They went on some kind of long journey/quest. 3. They travelled in a small, Thomas the Tank Engine-style steam engine, which I don't think required rails to move, and they were eventually able to make it fly. And at one point, the engine got turned into crystal (not 100% certain on the turning to crystal thing).
I really want to find this show again, and would definitely recognize it if I saw a picture or description of it. Please help!
openBBC Documentary about drug addiction and shoplifting.
So im looking for a british documentary that was on around 2000-2002, it could be possibly been BBC 2 or channel 4
The documentary followed a group of low lives in their 20s - 30s fulling their drug habits by shoplifting and other crime, there was a couple of scenes were some of the group got caught shoplifting in a shopping precinct. One of the guys was heavily into heroin, one of the film makes as he walked into his flat said " things look like there getting on top of you, its going down hill" as the place was a real tip at that point.
I think there could have been more episodes, one following some young offenders in and out of an institution, the episode starts with the guy on a train talking about some wide screen T Vs he had stolen, that's all i can remember, i had them recorded on VHS at the time, but obviously they are long gone.
Any help would be great...as i cant find the Documentarys anywhere.
openA certain Phoenix Wrong? Web Original
Okay, so there was a Phoenix Wrong I watched on Youtube, and I remember it starting with "We Will Rock You," and some time in the middle there was Trucy and Apollo doing this one thing where Trucy started singing "Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How are you?" and then Apollo was all "I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine." and there were lots of comments about this. If you could link me to it, that would be nice! Thanks! Note: My history was turned off, so yeah....
openA GoAnimate video that I remember watching Web Original
I remember seeing one of those "X gets grounded Y (time) in a row" videos, where the troublemaker's dad has the Diesel voice, and each onscreen day ends with that dad appearing, set to the "cheer" animation, and simply saying "you are grounded". Sometimes, he appears in the most absurd ways, such as on thin air, or in some enclosed, hazardous, or lost place.
Edited by MitchellProductionsopenHelp me with this one Western Animation
It was a show late 90's to early 2000's about this kid who like gets this small little mesh dude and there's like competitions they hold with these much dudes, but he had a weak one and there was a scene where the kid jumps in front of the mech dude before he got attacked
It was a show about the end times. I don't remember much. I know that fish fell from the sky, and when the family started trying to get to wherever it was that was considered safe, there was a guy at a gas station that started wiping the family's car window with a severed head. And one of the daughters got separated from the family and was trying to get back to them. It was like, signs of the end times like according to the bible I think, and there were trumpets on the radio which was one of the signs that it was the end of the world. The show is from either 2016 or 2017.
