There was this banned episode of "The Power Puff Girls" Where Professor Utonioum's old college buddy came over to catch up on how he's doing. Then, he sees the Power Puffs and there powers. The Professor gets mad at him for talking about them as a marketing stock. The next day,that same guy picks up the girls. While he's at that, he fake cries about them going all over the world. The girls feel bad for him, so they give him some Chemical X. Later that night, he makes his own Power Puff Girls. They are perfect copies, and he starts making more. Soon, those girls were all over the world. Then, the girls see an informercial for the guys new product, "The Power Puff Girlz Xtreme." The girls then fly to his factory and try to fight him. Then, he drinks the Chemical X and turns in to a monster. Then, a bunch of mutant Power Puff rejects that he made come up and watch the whole fight. The Professor, randomly driving around, finds out his girls are being drained of there Chemical X. Then the guy says Professor and the PPG must make X forever. The Mutants take him to the guy, and tells the PPG, he loves them. The rejects figure out the other guy never gave them love. The guy dies, and the Professor hugs the girls so much. The girls come back to life. Bubbles is worried what happened to the guy and the rejects. The Professor says the guy got the formula right but he forgot love. The episode was banned because of the guys name and the scary mutant girls. So what was the episodes name and what was the guys name?

So, I've been desperately trying to remember this show for a while- it was a Christmas show and I'm pretty sure it had multiple episodes. There were these three elfs as main characters, two boys and a blonde girl I think. And they went like travelling the world to help children around Christmas. One of the episodes was a about an ice skater who's lucky charm had been lost and another was about these two kids and involved tomato ice cream. Its been bugging me for ages, so any help wpuld be useful

I can't recall the title of a show where a group of secret government agents battled aliens, cryptids and other weird stuff like that. Two of the agents were:
- a psychic chick with black hair with a white streak. Whenever she used her powers, her eyes glowed green.
- an Ambiguously Brown muscle guy with mohawk. His name was Moose and due to alien experiments (IIRC) he could turn his body into metal.
All agents wore black suits with colored trims - IIRC Moose's had purple trim.

I'm trying to find a movie from the Renaissance Age of Animation about a group of mice/similar rodents going on an adventure. It is NOT the Secret of NIMH; I specifically remember getting the two confused. There are three rodents, all children, and possibly an old man who they left behind. I feel like there may have been something going on between the male and female lead, but that's probably not a factor. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I once watched this stop-motion remake of the Grimm fairy tale Allerleirauh (also know as All-Kinds-of-Fur, it has many titles). All I remember was that it was, most likely, stop-motion and it also changed the original story a bit, in that the protagonist's father (who earlier tried to marry his own daughter) regrets his insanity and is reunited with the daughter.
I suspect it may be part of a series of fairy tales, but I don't even remember the length of it... I saw it on Danish television but it was most likely not a Danish production. For some reason, I want it to be European (French, Swiss, German, something like that). Any guesses?

hi guys. i have a request, but i'm afraid the details are sorta vague as i didn't follow the show, and only caught a few episodes.
The only thing i can remember about it is that it is a western cartoon about a group of friends, teenage maybe collage, and as the ending to the season/series the main guy and main girl are talking about how they never seem to be able to get laid, the guy claiming girls dont want him, and the girl claiming she can only find guys on the street and not who she wants. They stop arguing and then they sleep together. i think this was suppose to be the WHAM moment or the big reveal.
Thanks

I saw an episode of this cartoon once, probably in the 90's. It was about insects, and the main characters were skateboarding insect teenagers. In the episode I saw, the insect kids' elderly neighbour or grandfather or something had accidentally gotten sick from poison. It made him change colors. Oh, and I think he might have been an absent-minded professor type, I'm not sure. Anyway, the kids go to a weevil lady for help, and she makes them go collect ingredients for an antidote. One was a tooth from a Venus flytrap, one was a petal from some flower, and one I forget but I think they ended up running away from a bird after getting it. The weevil lady makes the antidote and gives it to them in a bottle, but while they're skateboarding back to deliver it, they accidentally drop it and it breaks. They go back to the weevil lady and she offers to heal him herself, but for a price that she doesn't name yet. She returns with them to the guy, and she kisses him on the nose or the forehead, drawing the poison out. In the end of the show, the kids are teaching her to skateboard, and as she pushes off, they wonder why she asked for this in return for her help. Cue the weevil lady chasing after the professor-guy on the skateboard and teasing him, saying "How about another kiss?"

Anyone remember a cartoon movie (I think it was Ziggy's but not 100% sure) about a dreamland where scientist discover that they live in a dreamworld and manage to create a portal device to get a couple of them to stop the alarm clock Just in Time and manage to capture the dreaming guy to the dreamland. In the end the guy's dream changed a bit and everyone were turned into pink flamingos. Or something like that, my memory is vague and my google-fu weak for that query.

An older cartoon, caught on tape a while ago amidst a whole slew of other cartoons. No dialogue that I remember, only an orchestral score. The story was about anthropomorphized musical instruments. A young tuba was the prince of the wind instruments, and he fell in love with a harp, the princess of the string instruments. Semi-Romeo-and-Juliet kind of story arc resulting in war amongst the winds and the strings. The only other snippet I can recall is during the big battle the winds fight back using an organ, where the pipes shoot out cannonballs or some such thing. It was not a movie, that I recall. A shorter cartoon, possibly similar to the Merrie Melodies cartoons.

Used to watch this movie growing up in the 90's but I'm fairly sure its older. It was an animated video starring Dick Dead-Eye and a mish-mash of other Gilbert and Sullivan characters. I remember one scene specifically, where Dick meets the main female lead as she's working in a bar as a bar maid. She used her bosom and rear end to carry additional mugs ( Makes sense in context).

It was an action-adventureish show about a team of racecar drivers (five, I think) who had sort of souped-up NASCAR cars and they had a rival who was an evil tycoon. Also, the shells of the cars could detach from the chassis, and I think the evil tycoon had an 'X' somewhere in his name. It was probably early 2000s or very late 1990s. And I want to make it clear that there is zero chance I am thinking of 'Speed Racer'. It wasn't even close to this.

A children's television show from the 90s, maybe very early '00s. A woolly mammoth is frozen in ice and then found by a group of children/teenagers in the future. The show focuses on his life pre and post ice and I'm pretty sure it was named after the mammoth. Obviously, because of 'Ice Age', googling is rather difficult.

I have two VHS movies that I vaguely remember. They were both 2D animation, just to be a little more specific!
So anyway, the first one featured these 'animal people' [I don't remember if they were a certain animal or a made up one!] that lived in a village in a forest. There were two stones, one orange, one purple [If I remember right! I could be wrong.] and the village leader owned one of them. The other stone was owned by some evil guy who lived in a cave. Since I don't remember any details, somehow the leader and the main characters ended up going there. The leader and the evil guy had an epic magic fight. Then the evil guy somehow got the leader's stone and he put the stones together and put them on his staff.
I apologize, I know it's not a lot to go off of, but I remember adoring this movie in my childhood. D:
The other one I remember even less of. I just know the main character was a pig with wings or something. And he went on an adventure with his friends and I don't remember anything about them. Haha!
Thanks in advance! I'm sorry I have the memory of a goldfish. :D I understand if no one knows about these movies since my descriptions are terrible.

These ancient people lived on an island with a volcano. One episode a girl trys to fit in and they get fake nose bones and she gets a real one. It was Nickelodeon or Cartoon network I believe.

A cartoon movie about summer break. I'm fairly sure that it had Looney Toons characters, in child form. The only distinct parts I remember are one of the characters being afraid of a hitchhiker they picked up, and trying to hold their breath while driving through a tunnel so they could make a wish. It's really mostly a blur. It was my favourite movie when I was young and we rented the cassette every weekend, but since I don't live in an English-speaking country the title was translated, something along the lines of How We Spent Summer Vacation. Please someone recognize this.

In the late nineties, my daycare teacher showed us this traditionally drawn animated movie about ants. I don't remember what it was called, but I do remember that it started with an old ant telling the story to a group of young ants and that at some point the main character got lost in the ant tunnels. Does anyone else remember this movie?

Not sure when it was made, since I saw it on VHS in the early 2000s, but my best guess would be 80s/early 90s. I'm almost positive it wasn't Disney, though my chronic self-doubt keeps me from being completely sure.
It was an animated movie, and I only got to see part of it and only once, so I don't remember much.
The main characters were a boy and a girl. I don't remember what they looked like, but I seem to remember brown hair and I'm pretty sure they were children. They were on a quest of some sort, and there was this little imp/goblin thing who kept popping up and trying to foil them. I THINK he had wings, and I'm pretty sure he was green, but I don't know for certain.
Then something happened, and he saved their lives, and seemed to die in the process. This was right before I had to stop watching, so I don't know if he actually died or if he ended up surviving, but the children thought he died and were upset about it, doing the whole "He wasn't so bad after all" thing.
And I'm not sure if this is the same movie or another one, but AFAICR the animation style was the same, so I think it was the same one. I think it was at/near the beginning of the movie, and there was a talking frog and an old man who I'm pretty sure was Father Time. I remember a stream or pond, or at least SOME sort of body of water, which I think the frog fell into, and I'm pretty sure the scene took place in a cave, possibly a crystal/ice cave. There also may have been some grandfather clocks, which would fit with the whole Father Time thing.
Thanks!

I'm looking for an after-school show about Hans christian Andersen stories that aired sometime around 2000-2005 (in Australia, at least). It's NOT 'The Fairytaler' (which also goes by the name of 'Modern Classics of Hans Christian Andersen'), because the two episodes I can remember featured The Little Match Girl, and The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep, which aren't any of the Fairytaler episodes.
One other detail I sort of remember is that the 'Little Match Girl' segment seemed to be shorter than usual, so it may have been a short that came before a bigger story.
The last detail I remember is that it had a male (possibly british) voice-over at the end of the 'Shepherdess' episode that went something along the lines of "and if you see them sitting on the roof, leave them, they're much happier than you will ever be". Funnily enough, I think it was that exact line that made me remember the show for so long, because it annoyed me then and it annoys me now!
That's all I remember, but I've been looking for a long time and it's driving me nuts.

Anybody remember the show "Kro"? It was an ABC cartoon from the mid-90s which, IIRC, was about a caveman family.

I remember watching a cartoon back when I was a kid, either in the late 1990s or early 2000s (but it could've been airing earlier or later than that, I don't know) about these two mice, a boy mouse and a girl mouse. I think they were married or at least romantically involved. They'd go around the world and see different historical events or something like that. I just remember there was an episode where they helped a little girl in Italy invent pizza.
They also had some kind of rival or nemisis who was a rat, but he had no tail, because it was cut off at some unknown point, but of course I can't remember his name.
Any help would be appreciated!
