openTime for Spring Western Animation
I'm looking for this old cartoon where these magical creatures, dwarves maybe, are trying to bring Spring to the land, but a senient cloud keeps blowing as hard as he can to keep Winter going. It may have been Merrie Melodies, but I'm not sure.
resolved cartoon with aliens and psychics Western Animation
As the title says I'm looking for a cartoon, probably from the 90s/early 2000's though it may be older as that is when it aired in the Netherlands, about aliens and psychics. Also one of of the main characters was an alienabductee and could turn his arms into steel
openNickelodeon "scene within a scene" short film Western Animation
I'm looking for a Nickelodeon short from the 90's (possibly aired during the Nick Jr. block). There was no dialogue, just piano music. It started with someone playing the piano and then transitioned to another scene, and each successive scene showed the previous one was taking place inside some sort of image in a bigger picture. For example, I remember one scene was revealed to be a stamp on a package carried by a man riding a camel in a desert, then the camera zoomed out to show the desert scene was actually a picture on a little girl's lunchbox as she walked through a city. Other scenes included Buddhist monks, an astronaut on a space station viewing a laptop. In the end, everything looped back around to the piano player. I am not sure if this short had a name, but I'd like to be able to find it online and watch it again, because I always thought the concept was interesting.

openScene from somewhere... Western Animation
in the 90s, I briefly remember seeing a clip that involved a dog( Bulldog I think,) arguing with a pig outside at night. Something happens in the Pig gets locked outside thanks to the dog, and the dog goes into and is petted by a young girl who's in a bed, who says something about the pig and the dog looks annoyed. After that the pig is seen from outside yelling something like "Come on this isn't funny!" Both animals could speak, but they were both non-anthro. I don't think it was Charlotte's Web or the sequel...
openGreen girls tries to kill blue girl with monsters Western Animation
I remember as a kid, I once saw this weird show for what couldn't be more than a month or so, before it just kind of disappeared. From what I can remember. it centered around a green girl (with some bizarre accent) making several giant monsters to kill her, but the her happy-go-lucky attitude always kept her safe. From what I can remember, the blue girl's name was Charlotte. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about, or was this some part of my overactive imagination?
openKids cartoon Western Animation
The cartoon main characters are a little girl with black short hair and a blond boy. She got a magical pet ( small bear or fat cat not sure.) she lives with her father. I remember the cartoon name containing word frost or foster or something... And no it's not fosters home for imaginary friends. Not sure how old is it but I don't think it's that old.
Edited by ArcbossopenOld, eerie stop motion film about phantom puppets Western Animation
There's this old stop-motion film I remember seeing on TV when I was younger, but the only part I remember with any clarity is the ending. It's about this old man and his two grandchildren in a hut in the snowy woods, where he sits by the fire and tells them a story from when he was young, and working with a puppet show. One of the puppets 'dies' during a performance, and then the audience wanders away, leaving him alone with the puppet. Then, during the night, the puppet's ghost appears and scares the bejesus out of him. Then, once that's done, the old man and grandchildren just sit there in dead silence, staring at one another, until the camera pans out of the hut and the film ends.
openA 90's or possibly 2000's film w/ anthro animals I think I saw on Cartoon Network about a decade ago Western Animation
It is Once Upon A Forest, thanks guys!
Edited by zakrahopen3d animated hasbro cartoon from 97 that mom doesnt remember much about Western Animation
there was this cartoon probably made by hasbro during 1997 that my mom doesnt remember much about. here is all she could remember of it: 1.it was 3d-animated, so that cancels out MLP. 2.it was set in prehistoric earth 3.it was about two factions locked in war 4.there was one of the bad guys who was an t-rex robot and 5.that same guy said"yessss" all the time. my little brother's cartoon block airs this very show that mom doesnt remember. he remembers that it is connected with another cartoon of hasbro's from 1984.and as i said, its not MLP. he knows most of the bad guy's names. i think its well-known because it won an award or so, so its fairly easy to find info on it.
openIdk Western Animation
It was on in between 2005 and 2012. Its a show about a brother and sister. The brother is a pilot and his mother dies leaving him a ship. His mother was as killed by the soldiers, and his brother and sister flee in the ship. They are on the run from the empire.
openChildhood Show Western Animation
There was a TV show from about 10 years ago that I used to like as a kid. The title probably had "brain" in the name. I remember it having a really weird art style. It was animated, but each episode was made of several sketches. The one I remember most clearly was when someone would read information about a topic while a bunch of random and distracting stuff was happening in the background. Then they would quiz you to see if you were paying attention. For example, I remember the show doing that sketch with volcanoes. EDIT: Found it. It's called Crashbox.
Edited by VerticalHungeropenSimpsons Dr. Strangelove couch gag Western Animation
I am looking for a couch gag in The Simpsons that parodies the famous bomb scene from Dr. Strangelove. The whole family is on the couch wearing Stetsons. The floor opens (I can't remember if the setting was an aircraft bomb bay or the living room) and the couch falls through the hole with a town visible below. The family wave their hats as this happens. This is NOT the scene in which Homer imagines riding the bomb.
openBee Scouts? Western Animation
I vaguely remember this cartoon on Nickelodeon about a young girl that was in some Girl Scout troop involving bees somehow. And she had this ugly looking dog and an imaginary friend she talked to that was a smiley face drawn on her finger. The animation was kinda weird looking too. Anyone else remember this?
open2D animation with scary machine Western Animation
Hey all, I just remembered a cartoon I saw as a child. It had a villain who had a machine; I don't remember the purpose but it was basically a torture device. It did multiple things but the one I remember was it bolting a metal plate onto the victim's mouth. There wasn't any gore or anything. The victim was able to like get the metal plate off by stretching their mouth around cartoonishly. Eventually the machine broke down before it got to whatever it was supposed to do. At the end of the cartoon, the villain was stuck in the machine, and it worked but the screen faded to black before it got any further.
Honestly it was pretty frightening as a kid and probably still pretty frightening by my standards today, but I'd like to find it again if only to scratch the itch of not knowing what it was. Thanks!
openRacist children's cartoon? Western Animation
It was on in about 2008, so I was shocked that this was on. It had a preschool girl and her mother in a car and the girl asks "what's a papoose?" and the mother says that it's a "little brown Indian baby".
openCartoon show Western Animation
I remember watching a cartoon show when I was younger that aired on Disney Channel (I think). The main characters (I think) were a white male rabbit (that smelled his feet in the intro or something :/) and a female dog(?) with yellow hair (or ears?) and they lived in a treehouse. One episode I remember a little is that the two main characters started having a disagreement and they ended up drawing a line between them. Then at the end (or close to the end), one if the main characters stepped on the line and the entire treehouse fell.
That's all I can remember unfortunately. I would appreciate it if someone could help me find the show I'm looking for!
openShort, probably on Nicktoons, with boy whose head explodes from too much knowledge? Western Animation
My boyfriend told me that around '04 or '05, a single time, he was really sure it was on Nicktoons, he saw a short he can find no evidence of or reference to anywhere. He said it was about a boy who gained so much knowledge, that his head exploded from too much knowledge, and it looked like a moral. It was not Foul Facts or Safety Queen. Does anyone have any idea what this was? Thanks.
openThat fantasy cartoon Western Animation
One day a saw this cartoon, I think it was some western work. The drawings were quite good, but the characters were drawn as if they had no nose (btw it was a serious cartoon, not some super-deformed thing). I saw just one episode: apparently there was some race between different alien species, each one with a different vehicle: I remember a canyon where a boy with a bow, riding a giant beetle, shot an arrow to jam the engine of the ship in front of him, but then a vessel behind him (manned by an alien completely covered in suit and goggles) tried to kill him with laser guns and energy spheres. Any clue?

A 2D cartoon kids show about a good young witch who is a little clumsy. I think I remember her living in a house near a lot of trees. Her friends were witches too. Some witches would bully her sometimes.
