You Know That Show...

A group of students on a deserted island is being pursued by a pack of seemingly rabid stray dogs. Film

A group of students goes on a vacation to a deserted island, where the late father of two of them (they are brothers) left them a cottage. Shortly after arriving they ancounter a stray puppy. For a moment it seems they befriended it, until it escapes and leads them to an adult dog which attacks them. Soon other dogs join in on the hunt and the group has to fight for their survival and escape the island.

During their endeavor they discover an abandoned breeding station where they discover that the dogs are not rabid but genetically engineered.

Movie about military cyborg dog (FOUND) Film

This was probably a family movie. Some scientists create a cyborg dog with an Overly-Long Name which shortens to a neat acronym that sounds like a human name. It has human intelligence and can talk. The military wants to use these dogs as supersoldiers. At least one scientist doesn't want this and sends the dog far away, where it meets a human. Bonding ensues. In the climax, the dog makes a Heroic Sacrifice for the human, which leads to a speech about how robots can have souls.

I know it isn't A-X-L because the robot dog looked exactly like a normal dog.

Edit: It was A.R.C.H.I.E.

Story About A Kid Getting Vivisected Literature

I haven't read this myself but I saw a post on tumblr where someone asked "did anyone else read a book as a kid where they like dissected a kid for his organs and he was aware the whole time, until they like took his brain and he couldn't physically be aware anymore? like? unraveled or something? unwound? whatever"

So yeah now I'm curious; is anyone else familiar with this particular story? Apparently the title is something close to "unraveled" or "unwound". They said they read it as a kid but that doesn't strictly mean it was from a kid's book.

Computer case components are cities for anthropomorphic bits. The goal is to save the world that exists inside the computer case from viruses. Please give a trope(s) for such setting as well.

MHA/Steven Universe fusion power (Solved)

I'd like to find the fic that this post is referring to. It looks to be set in the world of My Hero Academia, but a character has the power to do fuse people Steven Universe style.

Book series about an intelligent super computer

I read a Ya book series awhile back about a super computer which meets a guy (a teacher ) and is waging war against an evil corporation.

The guy created a virtual woman in his video game the computer uses to bring to life as it's agent.

The main bad guy initially seems to be this fat dude who uses a chair but it's revealed he's actually a patsy and actor for the real leader of the evil corporation whose his butler.

One of the teacher's students also has a terminally ill sister who is later uploaded into the cyber space by the computer to save her life.

Their were around 5 maybe six issues. Each with an anime 2D style cover.

kid theater and the great OLD wizard Live Action TV

cbeebies. don't remember the time, but i watched it somewhere between 2006-2013. might be older, though.

each episode was a story acted out by kids on a cgi backdrop.

i remember one of the episodes rather clearly, so i'll tell y'all about that.

i think this episode's story was about merlin/myrddin ( of king arthur fame )? so around the beginning, merlin walks in. then the narrator ( also a kid, everyone in this show is a kid ) says "no, the great OLD wizard!" or something because they specified that merlin was old and the actor is visibly very young. then a fake beard appears on the actor and the narrator is satisfied. also there was this song that went "merlin, merlin, the great wizard who [something i can't remember]" that the narrator and an invisible chorus sang whenever the wizard used his magic.

i tried looking at cbeebies ( and cbbc! ) shows from this time but i just can't find it! also the "merlin, merlin" song has been stuck in my head for an unholy amount of time-

Children's TV Show Western Animation

Details are very fuzzy - bear with me.

Aired in the early 90's, possibly on BBC One or Two. One storyline involved the antagonists (possibly called Plutokians, or Blutokians??) using traffic light to change the moods of people. So red would be angry, amber, happy, and green was sad. I may be confusing this next part with another tv show The protagonist had some special ability in that they could travel to places instantly.

No Title Live Action TV

Ok, this one has driven me crazy for years, and thus far, I haven't found a match on here... Live Action TV show, presumably for kids. I watched it in the early 90's, but the style of the show indicates it may have its origin in the 80's. I remember one specific scene: Kid in jeans about 8-10 is in their room playing with their stuffed animals (who talk like hand puppets with gaping mouths despite being full-bodied). Makes a blanket fort around the dresser and bed, and the stuffed animals were helping them. Then a mummified stuffed animal with glowing red eyes comes out from the dark and starts terrorizing all of them and rips apart a stuffed animal.

The Mecha Pilot Got Isekai'd or Something... Anime

The only thing I remember about it is that the protagonist (I think) who pilots a black mecha gets Isekai'd to a different world and meets a girl there.

Children's book with boy who kept turning into animals Literature

It was a children's book about a young boy, who I think wore a red sweater and glasses on the cover, who kept turning or getting turned into various animals; I believe at one point he was a kangaroo, maybe a pelican in another, and in one story fairly close to the end of the book (possibly the last one in the book) he turned into a green constrictor snake; I remember the book specifically phrased this last transformation as "constrictor snake". The cover was white with a picture of him and all his animal forms on it, and each shapeshifting incident ended with him turning back into a human, with each one being a closed story within the book. It's possible the boy's name started with either an H or a G, maybe Gilbert or Hubert. This would have probably come out at some point in the 70s or 80s, although I would have read it in probably the early 2010s.

(Solved)Magical Girl Crossover 3D Fighting Game Videogame

There was this 3D Fighting Game that had several characters from Magical Girl franchises, and at least a few who weren't but were Magical Girl-adjacent(such as Naga from Slayers). The main thing that I remember was that Cardcaptor Sakura had a super move(possibly an instant kill?) that sealed the opponent in a card.

European cartoon about some woman obvious to being pursued by admirers Western Animation

I remember coming across some random indie European (I think French, but I'm not certain of that) cartoon around 2 years while surfing on TV Tropes. The premise (and the basis of the gags) was about a young woman carrying out her daily life while being oblivious to all of the men lusting over her. No matter how aggressive and harassing those would be suitors were, it would always fly over her head. If my memory is serving me, I think it was also set in Paris, though it could've been in Venice or some other famous "romantic" European city.

From what little I can recall, the protagonist's design was essentially riffing on Jessica Rabbit (especially her red hair style and body form), with some Marilyn Monroe thrown in as well. The hand drawn animation was crude, and seemed to be essentially traced over live action backgrounds. I think it was made around the late 80s to early 90s.

There was also an episode featuring a mummy coming to life in a museum that the protagonist was visiting. That is all that I can remember from it.

Does any of this sound similar to anyone here? Any help would be appreciated, as I haven't been able to retrace my steps to find it again.

(not sure) Live Action TV

This was a Japanese psychological horror/thriller series on Hulu a long time ago. Possibly the director or writer was someone famous, or it was based on a famous work? Each episode focused on a different character whose stories all interconnected. Overall tone of the show was very understated. One specific episode featured a woman who was being kept as a "living doll" by an abusive creepy guy. The subject of at least one episode was a wedding.

Short story about a girl meeting her malnourished doppleganger and planning on killing her

This was a short story I read in highschool, sometime from 2012-2016. It was about a girl (late teens? early 20s?) who met her doppelganger while going about her everyday life. Doppelgangers were an established part of her world: two identical people born at the same time, and if one died the other would immediately drop dead unless it was their doppelganger that killed them. Interacting with your doppelganger was considered highly taboo for some reason; the narrator mentions how when a man and his doppelganger ended up seated next to each other on a plane by pure chance, it was considered top priority to get them rescheduled so that they didn't have to be on the same flight.

The girl notices that her doppelganger looks to be in very bad shape- malnourished, skittish, and seemingly mute. She wonders what happened to her, and if the doppelganger might be a victim of human trafficking, a a drug addict, or something else. She sits her doppelganger down and goes to buy her some fast food, and as she's waiting in line for it becomes steadily more convinced that the only way for her to survive is to kill her doppelganger, as otherwise whatever her doppelganger is going through is going to end up killing her (and by extension, the narrator). When the narrator returns with the food, the doppelganger is gone, with the narrator reflecting that she likely realized that the narrator was going to try and kill her.

"Shake the cloud, Nanny" Western Animation

Unfortunately don't have much to go off of, but it was a 2000s young children's show that aired in Australia featuring a narrator that would roughly once an episode talk to this (I think) non-human side character that could float in the sky or piloted something that could fly. The character was called Nanny and the narrator would always say "shake the cloud, Nanny", then Nanny would repeat its name like a pokemon and shake the cloud for some forgotten reason.

Poetry? Literature

I was looking at Save Our Students when I remembered a book I read in middle school. The basic plot was that a high school kid brought in a poem he wrote in place of a book report, and this led to the teacher letting students bring in their own poems to read on a regular basis, with each chapter featuring a kid discussing who they are to the reader, the poem they wrote, and commentary from one kid (whose only trait I remember is that he really wanted to do a poetry slam). For example, one chapter had a girl talk about how her life experiences molded her into The Stoic and her poem was about her wanting others to "let [her] be stone". I don't remember specifically if there was a Save Our Students bent to it, but the kids were definitely inner city school kids. I want to try and find it again, but I don't remember the title.
