openOld Youtube Analyzer/Reviewer/Critic Web Original
I'm 99% sure their account was deleted but does anyone at least know their name? I used to watch them year ago, around 2008-2010. She critiqued... Things. I can't actually remember. I think it was either bad OCs or rants. I remember her using an avatar of Shadow Link from the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords manga.
open80s/90s Japanese song Anime
This is probably too vague. I am pretty sure this was the theme to a romance anime from the 80s or 90s. I know the chorus is something like "suki sa" or "suki ya" or something. Neither of those seem like proper Japanese, however it's the most my brain can figure out. The singer is a man and it was a relatively slow ballad.
openVeggieTales but with Musical Instruments Western Animation
As the title says, I remember renting a VHS that was similarly animated like Veggie Tales but it was a story about talking instruments. The main character was a guitar. He was really excited for his friend who was an electric guitar to visit. But when his friend came, everybody started talking about how great he was and this made the main guitar jealous. There was also a subplot about every body being in a talent contest. And I remember one scene where everybody was having fun at the beach.
open1990’s Kids Show Live Action TV
I was almost positive it was an episode of Sesame Street, but it could have been Reading Rainbow. There was an episode where a young girl around 10 or so trains a dog to be a service dog and gives it to someone who is blind. It’s not the recent Brandis Sesame Street episode, but that’s the only thing that comes up when I have attempted to google it. It’s been driving me crazy!
openSpeed Racer, But In Space
There was this show, when I was younger, on Jetix(AKA Toon Disney). It had a girl with red hair (Molly, I think?), and she was in some sort of race on another planet, and whoever one became some sort of super space-god. I know the theme song has the words "Never say Never" in it. I don't know if it was an anime or not. Any help is good. I thank you in advance.

openClassical music in a video Music
Can someone identify the music used here? https://youtu.be/-oqKgCEHn1g?t=15
It says at the end it's by Modest Mussorgsky, but it does not say what piece.
openWHAT HAPPENED TO: Cartoon Show Called "W" Western Animation
I have info on this show, but I need to know if there's anyway I could find more on it. It is on wikipedia for shows that aired on Teletoon, but it does not have its own proper page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_(2006_TV_series) and it of course aired in 2006. I also managed to use Wayback machine to the old teletoon site and found one of their flash games called "W- islands". The show features a funny looking boy with a large round nose, abnormally large feet and hands, red/burgundy coloured hair that sprouts from his head, a white tank top and orange shorts and he had a friend that was a seagull about the same size as the boy, but i dont think the seagull was very nice all the time.. and of course, they were trapped on an island together.. at least Im sure they were. I GOTTA find some more info on this show. I can't seem to find any videos, pictures, or anyone who knows what im talking about. The show was short and i'm not sure it played too often. I would compare it to the short shows such as "wild wild circus company" or "futz!". I HAVE A JOURNAL ENTRY ON THIS PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOT I HAVE ON THERE OF THE FLASH GAME: https://zimandchowder4evr.deviantart.com/journal/ANYBODY-REMEMBER-THIS-711828468
Edited by zimandchowder4evropenCartoon/Stop motion TV show
When I was little (early 2000s) I remember watching this cartoon about teenage kids who had to fight monsters in an alternative world to their own. They would go to school and had skip class to go hide in like hidden parts of their campus where they could enter these cells, connect and become part of this alternative world. There was one character who was really good at tech stuff and would sit behind the computer monitoring everyone's activity when they entered the other world and would rarely cross over into the other world. As soon as they would enter this world the show would go from cartoon to stop motion-like, and they would be fighting these robot-like creatures that seemed to be controlled by the game itself. I remember the title containing something like "kyono" in it but I'm not sure. one of the main characters who was supposed to represent the 'good' in the game and guide the kids in it would also go into these towers throughout to what seemed to be a way to save the game/kids from these monsters. please someone help!! been trying to find this title for ages! thanks
openYA Novel Literature
I read part of a young-adult novel as a kid, and haven't been able to find it again. The protagonist was a boy who encounters a circus where the tigers talk and one of the performers is an enslaved angel with clipped wings. I could have sworn it was called 'The Tiger's Boy', but I can't find it under that title.
openShort instrumental song I heard many years ago Music
Okay, I won’t be surprised if this one is impossible to figure out. I heard this song over 15 years ago on a cassette tape from a church basement. For all I know, it was a demo from the church’s group of musicians. However, I’m going to try my best to describe it on the off chance it was actually commercially released somewhere.
The song is a short instrumental, probably no longer than two to three minutes or so. It reminds me a lot of Nadia’s theme by Barry De Vorzon & Perry Botkin Jr., though a little more low key. It starts with a simple piano solo, then adds a soft acoustic guitar on top before moving onto a short flute solo. Then comes the chorus, which is mostly done by strings. Then after a brief guitar interlude again, it repeats from the flute part, going into the same string chorus. After that, it ends on the piano slowing down into a gentle stop.
Again, this song might not even exist anywhere except that cassette tape I found all those years ago, but if this sounds at all familiar to anyone, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.
openOld-ish cartoon? Film
I grew up in southern Europe, and I remember watching watching this doubled cartoon of a blonde girl who lived in the apartment with her cat, who finds a dog when she was leaving a party late one night. The dog was in a box, and the girl had a pink motorcycle. The dog was just a body for what was actually the soul of a prince, who leads her to go into a trip to save him, because he was trapped in a some sort of room in a corridor full of doors in a temple somewhere. I think the prince's name was either Shera, Shira or something around that family. I've been trying to Google a bunch of Clues to see if anything comes up but nothing.

openCbeebies cartoon
I used to watch this show on Cbeebies about a purple baby bear/monster. He lived with his mum who was also purple (or blue or violet) and his dad who was red I think. His uncle who was also red, visited him sometimes. The baby bear's friends were included a frog monster (?) and a duck?? I remember that in one episode, the bear lost his cup and everyone searched the whole house for it. Then he found it with his uncle. In another episode the bear was walking outside with his dad or uncle and asked why the moon was following them. The bear also had a stepstool to reach the bathroom sink. My friend and I searched everywhere (and by that I mean googled every possible detail) But we can't find it and it's driving me crazy!!! I'm starting to think it's like a Mandela effect or something because there's no proof that this show even existed.
openDisney XD/Teen Nick? Live Action TV
It was a show about a blonde boy who had travelled the world. In episodes he recalls things that had happened to him during his travels, such as one episode where he flashes back to his time spent with monks and he slows his heart rate.

openSchool based show where classmates are absorbed into the computer Live Action TV
The classmates are absorbed into the computer, I think it was a game or something but it was about history. It was a boy and a girl. One episode they were in an old jail cell but escaped and at the end jumped off a pier into water. I think the teacher or kids figured out what happened and they also went in to save them.

openKids Show I think? Live Action TV
There was a show that I believe had segments and in between there would be a picture that would start very unclear (different methods were different colors, lasers, etc.) and as the voice over spoke, the picture would be moving side to side, up and down, etc and getting more clear. At the end it would come into focus and tell you what you were looking at. Anyone remember that show? I believe it was the late 80's and it might have been on hbo.
It was a movie involving two kids (in a hotel?) Who were curious about a new person who moved in and so they spied on him. In the scene I remember, it was the family of one of the kids going to unlock their car, and the other kid opened the door took something and closed and ran away before they could see him. Then the two boys who are 11 or 12 ish figure out the guy did something bad, and followed(were captured and brought to?) A beach house/house close to the beach) and could see him moving a body/something and thought he was a killer. (Possibly he was fine in the end and their overactive imaginations were what made him seem do bad) any help appreciated.
