openKids jumping over a crocodile Film
My girlfriend swears she saw a movie where some kids were skateboarding and jumped over a crocodile. Does anyone knows what movie this could be? It is probably from the 90's.
openLooking for a 90s series
Hi, looking for a name of a 90s/2000s action series, It was kinda like Knight Rider or Viper, but instead of a single man a group was in focus (like in Acapulco Heat). The boss was male, but there were two women in the group, one tall brunette and one small blonde. One black male joined them later too. They had special technology, a special car (truck maybe) too. Thanks
Edited by LookingforopenSabrina Tie In Book Literature
It was a novel based on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Sabrina is punished for something, can't remember what, and she is forced to complete a maze in two hours that is filled with references to board games. Definitely had a Candy Land and Mouse Trap room, probably a room based on Perfection and Snakes and Ladders. What was the name of the book? Searching for "Sabrina Board Game Book" gives me a lot of actual board games.
openAnimated Halloween Special? Western Animation
I remember this Halloween TV special from several years back, animated in CG, there was this witch, a kid, a skeleton, some monsters, and this kid in a red hoodie.
openPixelated Cartoon Show and Website
There used to be this animated tv show, which also had a website to play games on as well. It was about a pixelated girl?

openOld video game with ducks Videogame
I remember a sidescroller game where you play as a white duck, but I'm pretty sure it's not Donald. The first level had you running through a mansion with a gun, and in level two you're running through an ancient ruin with a large stick used for both fighting and for climbing narrow gaps. In that second level, there were also giant duck golems that you could control after defeating them.
openI am looking for a gender bent manga Anime
I know I am being a little broad but can anyone tell me of a manga where a 7th grade male gets turned into girl through some supernatural means? The story involves this character who is now in high school trying to bring himself back to normal while dodging a female rival who the Alpha Bitch and male who is in love with him. Does anyone know of the anime and/or manga? It was so long ago when I read it.
Edited by GAPopenCat Riding a Bicycle? Western Animation
In this video made by cartoon reviewer Rebel Taxi, there is a clip of a cat cartoon character who appears to ride a bicycle right against the wall. I tried to look through the comments to see if anyone had asked the same question, but I couldn't find an answer. The only thing that I can figure out is that it was on Cartoon Network (judging from the logo at the corner.) I don't recall ever knowing about this show, although it could have been just an episode / cutaway of another show.

Thanks to anyone who can help!
Edited by TheCypressStationopenGerman Nintendo comic Print Comic
I just remembered I used to read this german Nintendo comic book or whatever it was when I was little... But alas, I can't for the life of me recall what it was or what its name was. I know it had a comic, but I don't know if it was a comic book or some sort of magazine.
I remember it had two parts:
- One part involved kids using game cartridges or whatever to give themselves superpowers and win at games. I remember two of these: one where they use Yoshi's Cookie (or whatever game it was that had Yoshi in it) to give one of the kids a Yoshi tongue and appetite which made him win a cookie eating contest, and another one where they do the same thing with a Donkey Kong game (making one of the kids highly athletic) which helps them win a basketball game.
- The other part involved a kid using Link's ocarina from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He first plays Song of Time which makes him very short, and then he plays Epona's Song which makes Epona appear before him. Then there's this... "girl" character (I can't really remember) who dares/challenges the kid to jump over the swing in the playground on Epona. He tries to jump over and... I can't remember what happens next. I think the horse doesn't make it over the swing and falls onto it halfway over, but all I remember is a comic shot of Epona from the front situated right above the swing.
openBoys just wanna have fun, girls just etc.
I think there's a song from a musical or something that goes boys just wanna have fun sung by a group of girls, and then a group of guys sing girls just wanna etc. If memory serves right, it's kind of similar to Grease Summer Nights. What am I thinking about?
openA hunter game featuring a cartoon moose? Videogame
There's this rather cartoon-y PC game that features a cartoon moose (I think), and I'm pretty sure it dates no later than 2005 or so (it may be from the 1990s or earlier, but it may have been in the 2000s instead).
If I remember correctly, you're a moose out to hunt for humans (complete with a rifle or whatever hunters use to hunt buck) in a winter-y forest. During gameplay, you have a view that scrolls around in a panoramic view; in other words, it scrolls like a sidescrolling game but you're actually turning around in a circle like in a 3D game. At the bottom of the screen there's an interface with various option thingies, but I only remember 3 of them:
- One option that takes you to a white map of some sort (you can change your location here, and I think there's an image spot that may show a picture of empty beer cans in the snow)
- A compass with a cartoon moose whose arm works like a compass needle, showing you which direction you're facing
- Some sort of icon/action with said moose shown from the back that changes to an icon of him farting when you hover your mouse pointer over it. I have no idea what use it had.
openOld man and other people in a fantasy world
I'm trying to find a show from when I was a kid, about 2000-2004 I think, I don't remember much but like it was like in the wild I think it was a jungle or forest, and things would happen like mythical creatures and things. There was an old man and other people, I think a middle aged man, a child, a woman, and other people that I can't really remember, I remember there was an episode where there were giant bees, another episode where they were building a tree house or found a tree house, and another where there was a mermaid, and other one episode there was like a primitive tribe that was hunting them down. I don't really remember much but I used to watch it in Cuba, but it wasn't a Cuban show. Someone please help me find this show!!!! Real people tho
Edited by ChelsbydopenPlease Help
I need to find a specific TV show, the main character is named Hugo and he has the power to summon portals and is on a journey (I forgot what they are doing on their journey) with a so-called "knight" who has a sword that has a demon inside of it, some old guy who was the friend of Hugo's adopted father (at least that's what I remember), a lady that can control nature and an archer
openJerkass Undead Drummer? Web Original
A video on You Tube about someone looking for a drummer for a project, only for an undead guy to show up. He served as the Harmless Villain for the video. He didn't do anything evil, per se, but he did suck as a drummer and did things that pissed the main character off. His antics would be accompanied by text telling him what not to do. ("Not supposed to be looking at swimsuit calendars", "Not supposed to be sleeping", "Not supposed to be crying", etc.) This eventually culminates into him quitting the project (Although the main character probably had some say in that...) and being replaced by a drummer who is actually competent as a drummer and not a Jerkass.

openMethadone Film
This was a film I saw (maybe only saw part of) on American cable sometime in the mid to late '90s. I think it was more likely made earlier than that
I think it was some kind of spy-themed comedy; one plot element was that some characters were subjected to an elaborate deception meant to make them think they had traveled to another region/country when in fact they had not. I remember two other specific things:
- Someone collapsing unconscious after consuming drugged food or drink, and the person who did it lifting up the unconscious person's head (or maybe just prodding them — something mildly physically intrusive like that) and saying to someone else: "Methadone."
- The soundtrack included a cover version of "Back in the U.S.S.R."
open"Will it ever end" Videogame
This is kinda vague but I have a memory of some game where you are fighting a seemingly endless swarm of enemies and one of your companions says "will it ever end" or possibly "will they ever stop". I thought it was Star Fox 64 but I have played multiple times and haven't heard that line. Can someone tell me what it's from and if it is from Star Fox 64 where that line occurs?
When I was growing up my family had a couple of VHS tapes that had old cartoons in them. Overtime I have lost all but one of the tapes, so I started searching up the cartoons in the tapes and have found all but three of them.
One cartoon is about a couple of flies fighting off a spider that is trying to eat them. Another one is about a dog who is trying to sleep, but keeps getting interrupted by the animal that he has to go hunt. Lastly there was a cartoon about a character who exchanged his car for a longer one, but that car turned out to be evil, and by the end of the cartoon the character got their old car back.
All of the other cartoons that I have found from the tapes are from the 1930's and 1940's, Although not entirely sure, the tape that had the aforementioned cartoons did come with a Woody Woodpecker short if that is any sort of clue as in to what home release these cartoons came from. Thanks in advance
