open Group of kids shrunk by an evil guy Western Animation
I came across an odd cartoon when I was a child and it looked like it was made in 1930s (like the drawing style of the game, Cuphead) and in it, a group of kids are shrunk by an evil guy via a strange device, and one kid accidentally falls into a boot and restores his size, saving other kids and making the villain shrunk at the end. Can you tell me the name of this cartoon?
openPrevent a minor edit war over at the Funny page for Disney's Robin Hood Western Animation
I wrote the following in an entry:
- Friar Tuck: Alright, laugh you two rogues, but there's going to be a big to-do in Nottingham. (Tastes some of Robin's overcooked stew and coughs smoke rings, eyes watering when he stops) Well that ain't it!
open Kids with powers on a quest Western Animation
I remember watching a show about 4 kids with powers, and they all have a colour. The main character, was red, his love interest was blue. Then there was a guy who was orange, and his little sister who was green. They were on a quest to find their parents or something around those lines. It’s been bothering me for ages!!!!! I remember a specific episode where the youngest green chick was possessed by a mummy thing and they’re trying to free her with symbols or something. Like a U with a lightning bolt through it.

openDrinking Game for Avatar: The Last Airbender Western Animation
I know that drinking games use alcohol for whenever they see a gags or goofs, but when I saw the Drinking Game for Avatar: The Last Airbender, it feels kinda weird to bring out alcohol here, being a show that mentions tea frequently with a major character who loves tea; so I added "tea" as a recommended drink. Note that this was for Bowdlerization reasons; it just feels wierd and , what I said, it kinda defeats the purpose to bring alcohol for the game.
Problem is, I kinda left out the mentions of "swigs" and "shots", and I immediately searched "shots of tea", and it came up with this
. So, anyone wanna help out fix the sentences?
Pardon me if I haven't asked this weeks ago, as I couldn't pick up the right words to say this, and I had other things to do.

open 80's kids cartoon Western Animation
Hi, I am trying to find an old cartoon I enjoyed as a kid, from either the 80s or early 90s. The name is something like 'Les Jontas', either french or spanish made I think, could be wrong, even through it aired on New Zealand TV. They didn't actually speak a language in it. It was a kinda cartoon, and it was all in plan view -looking down, and it was a social setting seeing coloured dots moving around, supposed to be the top view of the heads of people I guess. It was usually humourous with someone causing a raucous and being chased or causing a fight, and groups moving in and out of buildings. So you would see like a bunch of orange dots and the protagonist yellow dot move amongst them, and they would shake a litte for whichever one was speaking, but what they said didn't matter, you could infer from shouting, or whisper etc, it was quite clever in that way.
Edited by delta001open Princess Celestia as a Boss Western Animation
One of the biggest mysteries I've had with Celestia is how she treats her guards. To me its an interesting concept because you notice that there's not many direct interactions between her and the guards so its a big mystery. So can someone here help me solve this mystery?
Edited by Birdy18openHandling spoilers on a Character page Western Animation
Character Varian from Tangled the Series is a Walking Spoiler. Many of the entries in his folder on the Characters.Tangled page are completely spoilered-out. Of course it's against Handling Spoilers policy to completely spoiler-out an entire example. Also, many of the Trope Names (which are NOT spoilered-out) applying to him are spoilers by themselves already (such as Anti-Villain and Face–Heel Turn) which makes whiting-out the rest of the entry pointless. His folder also already has a "SPOILERS!" added to its title, so readers are warned.
Administria.Handling Spoilers doesn't say anything specific about Character pages, but I thought usually on Character pages spoiler mark-up is discouraged, is that correct? And if there's significant spoilers on such a Character page, to put a "Warning: unmarked spoilers below" warning on top of the page.
With all of that in mind, would it be o.k. to remove most or even all of the spoiler markup on that page, leave the "SPOILERS!" in that particular Walking Spoiler character's folder title, and put a "Warning: unmarked spoilers below" on top of the page, instead of using so much spoiler mark-up?

openThemself or themselves? Western Animation
A few days ago, The Tropper created the Recap page for the Steven Universe episode "Jungle Moon". In the summary, they had used "themselves" for Stevonnie. I changed it to "themself" as that's what the official summary uses, and what I thought was the correct pronoun. Three days ago, Tropper changed it back. So what is it? When you refer to one person, is it themselves or themself?
Edited by Crossover-EnthusiastopenHoYay/SofiaTheFirst Western Animation
The HoYay.Sofia The First page has some formatting issues, like 2-bullet entries in folders, 3-bullet entries, and folders with only one entry in them. I'm also unsure if it's long enough to get its own page or not.

Edited by nombretomadoopen Remember that show when... Western Animation
I'm desperately trying to remember the name of this cartoon that had this boy and girl traveling up a snowcapped mountain to visit this wizard who was... not so great of a guy. He had a nose like an eagle's beak if I remember. He offered this root beer or soda to the kids. The girl declined while the boy drank more than one glass and turned into this blue monster that resembled the wizard's helpers. Can anyone else remember this show?

open You know that show Western Animation
I remember this show that I watched around 10 years ago. It was an animation with 2 small creatures that lived in the vents and went out for adventures against humans. I remember one episode where they had these car like vehicles that hovered and they went out

I had just posted up the The Angry Beavers E 4 Fakin It page, but I'm having a hard time indexing the recap page because I accidentally mixed up the numbers with the episodes "Sans a Pelt" and "Gonna Getcha" since they said episodes 3 and 4 respectively and I ended up putting episode 4 for "Fakin It." Is there a way I can fix this?
