open Tv Show?? Western Animation
Okay, so this has been bothering me for months, please help! I know this description is vague, but I need to know what show this was. Okay, all I remember was that the first episode started in a library, and this girl was supposed to be protecting a crystal or something. Then goes to this boy running a race, who has some kind of crystal that helps him win. The villain is this tall guy with pale skin and long grey hair who can levitate. Sorry it's so vague, but please help!

Edited by rafiopen Trope for characters who speak alot but have little of substance to say? Western Animation
In the show LegendQuest, the character Teodora, a ghost, is a gossiper, a tattler, and a yammerer (among other such things), but she has a hard time actually telling people when she's done good. What would be a good trope to describe this?
As an example, in the episode where this character trait comes up and is discussed, Teodora saves the airship the protagonist and company are in from crashing. However, her coping mechanism of snarktastic Gallows Humor, combined with her lack of mentioning her part in saving the day, makes it seem like she's treating the situation as a joke - insulting to the quite-alive protagonist as he could've died.
Edited by Expack3open Cartoon that i watched years ago Western Animation
So, i watched this cartoon like 12 years ago on tv. It was about a girl (with a cat i think) moving to uncles place after her parents (probably) die. She moves to this remote old house where her cousin (i guess) lives with his step-mother, while his father is always away. Now, the thing that isndisturbing about this cartoon is that this kid is always sick and in a wheelchair i think, if i remember correctly, and his step-mother is poisoning him, with the help of the doctor who "treats" him for his illness. The kid looked something like harry potter. I searched and i could not find this cartoon. I think i watched it on the german channel Super RTL. And some of the info is probably not 100% correct, but you get the point. Please help ! Thanks in advance

I think that the Jimmy Neutron page should have a Tear Jerker sub page because there's a lot of tearjerking moments listed in the YMWV page and I think it's enough to have its own subpage.

Edited by jameygameropen Help me! Western Animation
So this is a vague description I apologize! This is from late 70s or early 80s. Very colorful western animation, but at first it was regular film with young actors. I believe they had red hair, they are brother and sister and they open a hatch in the floor and go down into a cartoon world. This cartoon world is filled with stalactites and stalagmites around and green goblin or troll like creatures. The creatures spoke English and were friends with the children. This has haunted me for like 32 years!
openHelp! Orange eyeball minion thing? Western Animation
Okay, so I need serious help. Recently my friend and I have been talking a lot about a show we remember, but all we can remember about it is one character! I believe it is from the mid-2000's (2009-2010 ish), and it was a 3d animated show. I'm not sure if it was Disney or Cartoon Network, probably the latter. I don't even remember what the characters did, or looked like, but I know there was an evil man, the only villain of the show, and his minion.
The minion was completely harmless, and just laughable. It was an orange eyeball with a mouth and bat-like wings with two dangling legs. It had two small teeth and an awkward and silly voice. He was your typical dumb minion that didn't really realize what he was doing.
Does ANYONE have ANY idea what I'm talking about?! Please help ASAP!

open Some CGI soccer show Western Animation
Trying to remember the title of this CGI soccer show from the 90's or 2000's. It was with aliens or some non-human characters. It was always the same two teams going against each other. The protagonist team had plain designs but varied in colour, but when they went out onto the pitch they would go through an energy field that turned them all yellow except for the tips of their hair (the hair was a Simpsons style hair where you can't really tell where the head ends and the hair begins). The antagonist team had a "edgier", darker, more monster-looking design to them. Before each game each team would do their game pose (not sure what to call it). The protag team would basically stand in a circle a spin around emiting a light beacon out the stadium and the antag team would do a sort of All Blacks Haka, but instead of a war cry they just spewed out a green gass for a fog effect, while their fans (designed the same way as them) stamped their feet in the stands. During the game the coaches could transport their players around the field if they wanted to by opening up portals on the ground. At half time there was sometimes a commercial for random made up products that where usually being used in the episode. I think in the last episode the losing team (obviously antag team) got sucked into a vortex and I think along with their fans, while the winning team and their fans got to fly off somewhere. I think everyone pretty much lived at the stadium, but not entirely sure. Can't remember anything happening outside the stadium (which now that I think of, I think was just floating in the middle of space). Oh yeah both teams had a pet that where kinda shaped like Chikorita from Pokemon. Their designs matched the teams'. The games had these two commentators (I think they were grey in colour) sitting in a booth that I think were the comedy relief.
openEdit Page Capabilities? Western Animation
With the show entering its fourth season and diverging from the original Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie, I was hoping to spruce up the https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheNewMrPeabodyAndShermanShow
page by adding its own character, heartwarming, funny, and awesome pages separate from the film page. However, the "Create New" doesn't allow these options, and I don't see any other edit options to allow me to make these changes. Is there a way I can make these changes, or do I not have access and have to talk to someone who does? It's the first time I've been interested enough in a show to want to get this involved in helping its tropes.
openDid this character say that? Western Animation
From the Western Animation page for Vocal Evolution: "In the intro for Pepper Ann, you hear her little sister Moose say in a Bobby Hill-esque voice "Did someone take my lunch?", in the actual show she speaks in a lower huskier voice."
I remember this line in the theme, even though I never really watched Pepper Ann. Are we sure that's who is talking? The fact that it's supposedly offscreen and this voice was never used in the actual series makes me suspicious.
