openAnimal children's cartoon ? Western Animation
Does anyone remember the name of this cartoon about wild animals that could talk from the late 90s early 2000s? I specifically remember watching it as a child early in the morning like 6am, 7am, 8am and it was about the adventures of the small woodland creatures( I can't remember what kind of animal), they were always traveling somewhere and threatened by other wildlife such as predatory birds, snakes, fish, foxes, wildfires, crossing roads, humans themselves. I remember it being animated pretty realistically, as in the animals looks as they would in real life. If anyone can help me out with this given my sparse details that would be great!
Edited by MercifulCaravanopenMight be totally spies Western Animation

openMail plane Western Animation
So this was an animation I saw as a child, the things I remember is that this was about a anthropomorhic plane (like in the film Planes), it was a mail plane and would deliver its first batch of mail, the mountain through which it had to fly was stormy as hell and the flight was really hard for them, nearly losing their mail at some point, in the end they made it through just to see that the 'important mail' was only a single holiday card.

openanimated short and comedy show
Hi, I remember an animated short about a couple that found a lost child and adopted him, took him to school and all, but at the end it was revealed that he was Santa Claus' son.
Also a black and white comedy show where a guy was waiting for someone to come to his house, but he kept getting different guests and he started to hide them in different places of the house so they wouldn't be seen. At the end, when the expected guest showed up, something happened (don't remember what) that caused everyone to run out of their hiding places and flee the house, the dog was biting the pants of one of them xD it's not much, but it's what I remember, I only saw it once
openMystery Show from Like 5-7 years ago
I used to watch this show When I was in like the third grade (i'm a sophomore in high school now) and It hasn't really bothered me until now because a friend showed me a video with the song My Bonnie lies over the Ocean and it reminded me of it. But in the show this girl can see the dead i guess because she can see her mother but her mother is dead and her mother is collecting tears in a little bottle and the girl was determined to find this bottle and at one point she is singing this song My Bonnie lies over the ocean but I can't remembrer correctly but I think instead of saying Bonnie she says Daddy instead
openKid in space forming letters with his body Anime
I've tried to dig this up online a few times over the years and never actually found it, but this snapshot memory has bugged me for a long time. Years ago, probably pre-2000, definitely pre-2005, I ran across this scene on TV, and part of me thinks it was Digimon or another kids' anime, but it may have been a western show.
The scene was pretty surreal, with a blank black or space/stars background, and there was a boy floating around reciting the alphabet while his body contorted into each letter. His voice was flat and echoed a little bit, like a dream sequence or other kind of abstract scene. I believe the other characters needed to wake him up or save him, like he was entranced or possessed by something, but I can't be sure. Anyone else remember this?
openUK Broadcast Anime/cartoon late 90s/early00's Japanese High school Anime
This has been bugging me for a number of years. I have been through lists on Wikipedia of all BBC/CITV shows to no avail. I watched a anime or cartoon, based in a Japanese high school (or just general Chinese high school etc) about monsters being trapped in books or in some book shape item. The teen protagonists in this show would release and capture demons/monsters inside these books. In an episode someone accidentally releases one of these monsters from a book hidden in a library, in another episode one is released during a marathon the pupils are taking through residential streets in what I'm assuming Japan. In another episode they capture a teacher from the school who turns out to be one of these monsters.
This show was shown in afternoons in weekdays on what I guessed was ITV or BBC 1/2 (back when there was just the five channels on TV) but I have not been able to find anything and I have searched pretty long and hard. This makes me think the show was not very popular or successful and never garnered enough attention to have made it to be properly talked about or documented online like the majority of other random cartoons on TV. I am really not sure what else to add but man this has been bugging me really bad.
openComedy Wuxia Film Film
...with some Mel Brooks-esque humour like random anachronisms and homages to films like Titanic, such as in one scene when a female character used an axe to free the male protagonist off a post which he was tied on. Another scene had an attractive woman being filmed on by a bunch of males, with one brandishing what appears to be a modern camcorder. A dubbed version of it was aired on GMA News TV in the Philippines some time ago.
openAdultswim possibly Western Animation
A cartoon show a few years back the episode ended with the one character in the men's washroom going to urinate and saying hi there little dangler. His boss walks in and the character thinks to him self don't look dont look. There was also a scene with him moving like a worm across the floor.
openan animated movie about a lost cat or dog Film

openBoy from desert tribe that uses leathery-winged hang gliders Literature
There was this book I read when I was little, probably at least 20 years ago, maybe 25. Probably aimed at children or at least young adults. Speculative fiction; I guess you'd call it fantasy. The protagonist was a boy (probably) from a primitive tribe living in a deserty area that is also home to large flying creatures with leathery wings. Coming of age in that tribe involves taking down one of said creatures and either taming it to ride on or killing it and using its wings to build a sort of a hang glider; in any case, hunters from the tribe use them to fly, riding updrafts and whatnot. The protagonist failed his coming-of-age ritual in some way and ended up leaving his tribe and eventually reaching the edge of the wasteland they live in, finding a civilization that is based on some kind of special oil and is under the thumb of some nasty folks that maintain power using some sort of beasts that they control, maybe using that oil. More adventures ensue.
Sound familiar to anyone? That's pretty much all I remember, other than a scene involving an aerial chase between the protagonist and maybe an evil relative of some sort, circling around above a volcano or something using their hang gliders.

It sounded like the way I typed it with the punctuation. Any of you guys possibly know what I'm talking about? It has been aggravating me for years cause I have yet to find it. Thanks !
openNo Title Literature
A children's/young adult book I read pre-1998 that I'm pretty sure was part of a series. A dad and son are inventors that created a virtual reality machine that does some kind of brain interfacing and also dilates subjective time. This machine has problems specifically related to the "fuzzy logic circuit", which causes surges that can disrupt the users' sense of identity. The dad wants to scrap it, the son doesn't.
There's a video game in this book that involves two teams fighting over control of ancient artifacts that could conquer/destroy the world. One side represents some Doctor Robotnik-type with a robot army while the other is a ragtag group of rebels (led by some guy named "Tinker" that has an all-purpose gun modified by shape cells). Robot Overlord needs two keys to activate the artifacts while the rebels only need one to destroy them, but have to get past the robot army. Inventor kid and his friends play as the rebels in a tournament, but they need more practice.
Inventor kid gets the bright idea of trying this game out in the virtual reality machine, but a surge causes him to believe himself to be Tinker. He has an adventure that ultimately ends with everybody dying. The machine lets him out when the game ends.
At this tournament, inventor kid wins by simply destroying their key. By doing that, Robot Overlord cannot activate the artifacts.
I think it was a game or an ad for one, but all I can recall is a slow zoom in on a twitching body, then the eye opens and the camera zooms into there. I cannot recall what happens before or after. Anyone able to help me?
