openTv show? Maybe a film I don't know? Film
I cannot for the life of me remember this show. But I do remember that there was something to do with a travelling circus or something like that and the main character was a girl and she had powers of some kind. The only other thing I remember is that at one point, some boy (who's a minor main character) has the bad guy revealed to him and the bad guy is in a briefcase or something?? And he slowly begins to turn into like a lizard/human hybrid. At the end, i think, the protagonist has to save lizard boy's baby sister because lizard boy is trying to kill her and they walk out onto a tightrope that's suspended over a massively high drop and she falls but someone else catches her???? I'm so lost, I've never been able to find it or anything similar anywhere.
openSOME OLD KIDS CARTOON FROM ABC
Okay- so before Australia's ABC 4 kids was around and it was still known as ABC 2, there was this show with this girl that could fly with her pigtails. I remember very specifically that it was plasticine animation and that she had red hair and yellow skin. Also there was a house with four windows and it all just looked like a kids imagination land haha basically I've been wondering what this is since forever- some help please?
openSome film for kids about magic Film
I remember watching once a movie on a saturday morning, but can't remember the title, but I remember these things:
- The bad guy was an evil wizard that looked kinda like Snape from Harry Potter.
- At a certain point the main characters warped through places (or dimensions, I don't remember) and the warp was this weird, colored place with "We Like to Party (The Vengabus is coming)" in the background (if you don't know the song, is the same one from the Six Flags commercial with the dancing old man)
openold cartoon network show? Anime

openAfter school show with alien puppets Live Action TV
There was some show on after school for a while in the late 80s/early 90s that had aliens that were puppets as the bad guys and they were a family of aliens. I believe there was a mom alien. They flew in space ships. I don't have much more detail, but I can't figure out the show for the life of me.
openAnimated, not cartoon tho. Found it on youtube about a little yellow creature.
In 2012/2013 I stumbled upon this youtube channel that I think was the official channel for a certain show, I remember the narrator being British. It was a kids show about a little yellow creature and his friends and the intro started with him waking up on a flower. After I deleted the account that was subscribed I forgot what is was called? help ;-;
openWhat IS IT!
theres this show that i think was on nickelodeon and it was about a bunch of fused wierd animals and the main ones i think were a chicken with a pigs udder and a pig with a chickens red head thing please help!
openNetflix show about kids with gems? Western Animation
I remember seeing it on Netflix a few years ago. It was about some kids who got different powers depending on what gemstone they used. Like there was one who had super strength and I think his stone was embedded in his skin, so it made his powers unstable. As well as a girl who won a ton of quiz shows because of a piece of jewelry that was also one of those special stones. I also remember that it began when the villain of the show recruited the main characters before the "good guy" came to recruit them instead. The last thing I remember is that the finale took place in a large house in the middle of the snow, where the villain was doing something with time travel. (making himself immortal?) If any of you know what this is, I'd appreciate it.
openShow where kid is teleported somewhere after his grandma gives him a necklace. Anime
You know that show where a kid is given a necklace by his grandma and it like teleports him into this magical world or something and he can summon little pocket monsters to help him fight? I remember seeing it on Netflix a couple years back, and I can't seem to remember the name of it. I also remember he finds two friends along the way on his adventure, and one of them is a guy that has a mushroom on his head. Can anyone help me?

openA scifi comic from several years ago. Print Comic
There was a scifi comic like, 5 years back. There was a female lead who always wore a bubble helmet and I remember at least 3 issues. The thing that stands out is in the second or third issue there was a robot body that had George W Bush's head in a jar on top. Really want to figure out what this is.

I was watching a youtube video that had a bunch of funny clips and i cant seem to find the name of the show.

Edited by OploopopenSong Similar to "How Ba-a-a-ad Can I Be?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmrPn1CnzY This song (from the Lorax) reminds me of a pop song or something I've heard. It's specifically the "I'm just doing what comes naturally" and "I'm just following my destiny." Maybe it's the destiny line? I feel like I've heard "You know it's my destiny!" to the same tune. Or it may just be the tune I've heard somewhere. Help
Edited by yadnaravresolved Strategy Game I can't remember the name of Videogame
I'm trying to remember the name of a strategy game I played on Wii Classic Console many years ago. All I can really remember of it is that it was like Advance Wars, but set on the moon and without C Os. It was also really hard.
openBRITISH TV PLAY Live Action TV
Someone posted on this on the amazingly embarrassing parents trope page, and it looks interesting to me. Unfortunately, I have not watched much British TV or film to know this, but I noticed (and I saw this when I happened to edit the page, because I was temporary going to provide an example, but forgot what it was) that it was posted in 2008):
"Many years ago there was a one-off British TV play, not played for laughs, about a boy who is so embarrassed by his mother's erratic hyperactive behavior that eventually he can't even bring himself to tell people she's his mother and calls her "a sort of aunt"."
I asked this on the IMDB and one person responded with "Travels with my aunt", but they were not entirely sure. Does this seem familiar to anyone? Please help, thanks.
openPiano piece from X-Men movie Music
At the beginning of the first X-Men movie (as in, year 2000), there's a scene near the beginning at Rogue's house where she's with her boyfriend and I think her mother is playing the piano in another room. My question is, does anyone know what she's playing? Is it just random exercise or part of a longer piece?
opensong in video Music
what song is in this video that starts at about 12:10? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUak72GJ4E4
I only have a very vague memory of this. When I was a very small child, (circa 1993-5 don't remember date) there was a NES game that my dad and brothers played. I remember it didn't look like Aladdin and it was a magic carpet game in third person, (but the view was of the pc's back and whatever was in front of the carpet). I don't know if the game came out in the early 90s or late 80s or what but I'm almost certain it was on NES. Any ideas?
