open2000's villain kills people by crossing their name off list Anime
I watched this back in the 2000's. There was a head villain who sat in a throne like chair i think and he would kill people by crossing their name off of a list he owned
openKid's show with blonde twin boys Western Animation
I watched the show about 10 years ago, but it is probably a little bit older. The show is about two blonde twin boys. One of them wears a red and white striped shirt and the other one wears a blue and white striped shirt. I can also remember that they had a rat as a pet. This rat often stole food from the family and brought it to other rats under the house through a loose plank in the floor. I also remember a yellow flying animal/pet that they owned. (It kinda looked like a balloon) If i am right they also had one or multiple slides in their house that they used to get from the inside of the house to the outside. A school bus was also often involved. Does someone else remember and also know the name of this show?
openSpace Shooter FPS on iOS Videogame
So There is that game about traveling on a colony of a long-dead alien civilization, only in the middle of your mission, the aliens suddenly appear out of nowhere, readings on your ship indicate that Sol has exploded a long time ago, and you have no idea what's going on anymore except that you might be one of the only humans left in the universe. It also has a prequel novel. I'd appreciate if someone reminded me of the game's name, because I'm stumped.
openLine-art style black and white cartoon of a man and a train Western Animation
I remember as a kid in the 1990s that there would be this obscure cartoon short that would air on TV. Unfortunately I don't remember the channel. :( It featured a man and a train. I don't remember the plot of the short, but I think the man was trying to run away from the train or possibly divert the train by drawing a line. Either way, this train would somehow catch up to him. This cartoon had no dialogue, only sound effects. The art style looked simple and hand drawn; you could say the style was similar to the Eureka! educational programs. Any ideas what this could be? Thank you!
openTalking Guitars Film
It's an animates show where the guitars talked, it was a Christian show. The acoustic guitar got famous and started being a dick and then he was sad because he didn't have any friends and then he stopped being famous and got with his friends.
open2000’s animated show about fairies Western Animation
Okay so I can’t think of this show and it’s driving me crazy. It’s about 4-5 girls who becomes fairies and fight like evil creatures (goblins, etc) and meet a boy their age (all teens) from a rebel group and they fight together. One of the girls has long blonde hair and her wings were purple and I remember this because they were popular enough for I think it was Mc Donald’s to make toy keychains of them and that one was what I had. I want to say early 2000’s
openBook about a Rabbit Literature
There's this book about a rabbit in a pair of red footies that did the opposite of his other rabbit siblings. I don't know the title. They went to the beach and while the rabbits parents and siblings were napping, the rabbit went exploring until a tide came in while his parents and siblings napped.
Edited by C6-E9opentv show i believe
theres a scene where the protagonist had people with them and they raided a village and had all the village people sit in a circle and one of the villagers was the leader and looked big and mean and he seemed mad but didnt want to fight them , i clearly remember when 2 of his people tried to fight the grouo but he told them not to, reason for them being there is because they were trying to find someone or something
openLost part of my childhood Western Animation
It was a kids cartoon set in a city on the beach, it was about soccer and some poor kids formed a team training in a broken rusty ship and playing street soccer tournaments. I would love to know what show it is

openAnime Show with Chipmunk Anime
There's this one show with an anime Chipmunk with red beads around his neck..I dunno the name of the show..it also had a yellow duck with striped socks, a pink sea lion who was the rodents love interest and trouble making blue monkey of some sort. He also has classmates ranging from a tiger cub, a red bird, a purple and white panda girl and a white rabbit girl that the tiger cub had a crush on. and it was on the genre of a children's anime program. There was also an anime movie that had the rodent as superhero and being located by a girl in a cat costume.
The Show aired in 2008ish.
Edited by C6-E9openX-Men/X-Files crossover fanfic, featuring Gambit, Jean Grey, Mulder, and Scully
This is probably a long shot, but I'm wondering if I can find a fanfic I read years ago, most likely on fanfiction.net.
It was a crossover between X-Files and X-Men. The primary X-Men involved were Gambit and Jean Grey, and they teamed up with Mulder and Scully over the course of the story...for what purpose, I don't remember. I think Mulder and Scully were either completely unaware of the existence of mutants prior to the story, or at least not very familiar with them. The only other specifics I recall are a couple of scenes: At one point they were on a (long?) car trip to somewhere, Remy was asleep in the backseat, and Jean comments something about him being able to cat-nap anywhere. In the other scene, Remy had been seriously injured and was unconscious, the group had taken refuge with allies/friends of Mulder's (group of conspiracy nuts), and Scully was trying to assess Remy's injuries—when she opened his eyes to check pupil response, it was the first time she'd seen his eyes without sunglasses, and she initially thought he had a severe head trauma causing bleeding into his eyes.
I checked fanfiction.net's crossovers section and didn't find it there, but I'm not sure that it was actually categorized in the crossovers category when I read it—I suspect I found it in the X-Men section. I've tried a few search terms with no luck narrowing it down yet.
Edited by NotOnAnyFlatbreadopenBritish kids show featuring animal puppets
Trying to remember the name of a British kids show that had a lot of animal puppets popping up out of a large fake landscape. One in particular was a stereotypical Asian chipmunk (?) that would pop up and say: " Ah so, Confucious says..." and would then recite a humorous proverb. This aired probably sometime early 70's I would think. I thought it was called "The Jackie Evans Show" but that doesn't bring any results. Any help?
openGames and monsters Videogame
Again, I have some games I'd like to find:
1.) This one I played in 2007-2011 or so. It featured a human (probably, he wore a hide or something brown) walking through a miniplanet/island like a maze, finding keys. There were huts, “health”-restoring food, and possibly barricades to open/close with the keys. The enemies were alienish, of Shrek-like green, damaging the character by hitting him. They were flying by their legs/limbs resembling ones. Their tongues were hanging from their mouths. They creeped me out as a kid.
The game was probably 3D, or the camera had different angles depending on the direction the character went.
2.) A HP game. I know little about HP universe. It might’ve been one game, or separate ones, but probably the same series. There was Harry, maybe Ron and Hermione too, and a teacher or a villain - at the top of a tower, magic-dueling with each other and/or a monster. The player used a magic wand, and I think there were obstacles to remove/destroy, too.
In a forest/swamp, the characters met hostile clumps of mud resembling melted snowmen which damaged them by spitting mud. However, my sister, who has read the books and seen almost all the films, says there are no mud monsters in HP. So what could it be? Please, try to answer with as little spoilers as possible, I’d like to catch up and read the books someday.
3.) A TV game (2005-2008 or so). The contestants, families (not sure if always), accept a challenge to learn a skill/try something new in a week/two. One episode featured basketball tricks, another controlling a toy plane. The winners won a car. There was always a shot of it standing in a garage/behind a curtain, surrounded with packs of mineral water bottles, “for your health”. Not sure if it was a Czech/Slovak show, or translated.
4.) Any ideas why Jake Marshall’s theme (Ace Attorney, case 1-5 (the bonus one)) could sound so familiar to me? Like composed of two melodies I’ve heard before somewhere - the one at the start, and the flute melody, starting after a few seconds. Could it be from a Scooby Doo game (the “wild west” one), or something else entirely?
Any suggestions are appreciated :-)
Edited by Vicky125openEarly 2000s maybe 90’s Cartoonish-Anime Anime
SO there was 4 kids, one in a wheelchair and 3 others, I believe one was a girl and they all went through teleporters and went into a digital land with powers, they fought through robots and left through a portal in a tree and one of the kids had powers (and a suit) of a cat.. I’ve been looking for this for 3 years and can’t find the title. Unfortunately I don’t remember the others powers (girl character had black hair and looked kinda Asian)
openPC game that my friend played in Feb-April 2015? Videogame
The game was a first-person adventure game and looked like it was set in India. The part that I saw had the protagonist traveling through a rural-looking town and shooting down what looked like terrorists. He could enter the huts and collect items from them. To regain health, he used some sort of incense stick and stuck it on his left forearm, then bandaged it. The screen faded to black when he died. I recall a cutscene where he talked to an Indian-looking woman about presumably terrorist activity. The protagonist rode an ATV at one point.
openVampire comic Print Comic
Looking for an indie early-oughts comic book about vampires, believe it takes place in New York, and I think the title was Trinity or something like it, but haven't been able to find it under that name.
The protag was a reluctant vampire (overly fond of black leather and straps) his mentor one of the Grigori, there was a Hispanic very joie de vivere vampire character, At one point, a black police officer discovered he was the reincarnation of George the Dragonslayer and attacked the main pair on behalf of some Illuminati-Templar order. Lilith was the Big Bad and first vampire, and her plan was to destroy the world by unleashing an army of dragons. Which actually happened. There were Angels too, the Archangels who were debating just blowing the trumpets and ending the world. An angelic sword also featured prominently in the plot. Does any of this sound familiar?
openHumorous alternative song about Canadian boy? Music
A few years ago my dad told me more than once about some song he heard sometimes on an alternative station. He said it was a tongue-in-cheek or humorous sounding song about a Canadian boy involving playing or needing to play hockey. I cannot find this by Google searching. Does anyone know what this might be? Thanks.
This was a cartoon that I saw during a panel at Otakon Called “Totally subversive toons “. It was a short piece that’s was commentary on censorship. This woman was leading a group of people through a museum, but a business woman kept censoring everything, until her and I think a nun started fistfighting? Oh and i remember a line where the tour guide says “a fresco is an italian soda.” I dot thinking it wasn’t made before 2010, but I could be wrong.
