One time, I saw a kid watching a Paw Patrol episode where Chase jumped or hid behind a bush. Does anyone know this particular episode's name?
openOld Cartoon Western Animation
I remember watching this cartoon on a dvd that might have been like a dvd mix of cartoons but the animation looked a lot like rocky and Bullwinkle style and I am not sure whether these two are completely different cartoons or the same one but I remember two different plots. The first one, there is a professor standing on a stage in front of a crowd and he is telling them about his journey into like the amazon or the jungle or something (for some reason I'm thinking New Guinea?) but he gets captured by cannibals who plan to cook him but he escapes and survives being attacked and almost eaten by the animals of the jungle by playing music on his instruments. The cannibals also hear the music and basically he introduces music to the jungle. The cannibal leader thanks the professor and they become friends and the professor gets to go home. Now the second plot I remember is about like a cat detective who wears a trench coat and he smokes and plays the piano as he narrates the story of a case he had. I remember it involves a guy who is famous because he is always smiling and his face is like permanently smiling and I believe he freezes himself still smiling. At one point in the cartoon I think he somehow stops smiling? Haha idk I gave as much details as I could remember and its KILLING ME not being able to remember this cartoon so I hope someone can help me. I don't think it was a very popular cartoon.
openPINK haired girl with brain? Western Animation
I vaguely remember an animated show with a pink haired girl who had a ‘pet’ brain, not certain on air time, probably 2005-2009 period, on cbbc or citv. in most episodes the villager people would come after the brain claiming it did something. I keep trying to remember it but all i can think of is ‘Pinky and the brain’, which i know it is not as i searched it and have never seen an episode, however i know the theme song off by heart. Meaning what im describing may be a remade/spin off version. Possibly not.
The animation style is difficult to remember but is most likely western and flat layered. Not anime or 3D animation.
Any idea about this show is VERY APPRECIATED! Thanks in advance ^-^ (Any questions just ask)

openOld kids Tv show 80's-90's Western Animation
I am trying to remember the name of a show I watched when I was little. It was set in a world that was mostly industrialised, there was one small forest left where the main characters lived. Pretty sure the main character was a blue bunny, a small pink animal (probably a mouse), an owl and several other woodland creatures. The bad guy lived in a big concrete castle, he was short, fat and grumpy, he had a robot butler and a dog. The only episode I can remember is where it was the bad guys birthday on February 29th and he stopped time to make his birthday last forever. It might have been a direct to video series. I remember a song from the episode that goes something along the lines of 'Time time, tick tock time, has no reason or rhyme time, where is goes no one can tell'
openTransforming thing a majig Western Animation

openHELLPPPP!!! Western Animation
There is this animated show that I really liked when i was kid but I can’t remember the title. I think it was on Disney Channel. Maybe it was inspired on a chinese dynasty because the vibe is like Mulan. There’s 3 main characters. 1 guy with an undercut hairstyle and sleeveless top with a shorts. 1 guy with a glasses and a traditional chinese outfit, I think it was color blue. 1 girl with also a chinese outfit vibes. Pls help me 😭
openAnimated Show from Cartoon Network Western Animation
From what I remember the show would have aired somewhere in the range of 2003 - 2007. I want to say for sure 2003, or 2004. I remember it airing on Cartoon Network (although this could be wrong). I remember having kids on hover boards. One looked like a skate board, and another looked like a Segway that hovered (no wheels). I remembered them fighting different monsters. The picture I have are a boy and girl going through a forest on the two different types of hover boards mentioned above. Maybe I was mashing several different shows together. But, I remember coming to the television plugged in on the ground at the same time everyday.
Curious to see what is found, I have searched several places to see if I could find it.
openLittle white Scottish dog that was angry Western Animation
Does anyone remember at cartoon tv show where they had a little white Scottish terrier that was always mad? I can't remember anything else about the show other than the dog.
Edited by Raveger0100openPeople in badass vehicles Western Animation
I remember this show involving 4 or 5 people, who would enter their badass vehicles to save the day, or prevent the evils actions. Their vehicles all had different colours and were meant for different purposes. I remember that one had a one wheel motorcycle, which could split in four wheels making it able to float. And I believe the red driver was the team leader
resolved cat with past life ghost trying to kill him to get into heaven Western Animation
I have already checked Cats Have Nine Lives, but I'm looking for a cartoon about a cat who's past life ghost try to kill him to get into heaven by possessing his best friend. I'm pretty sure either lives of or ghosts of is part of the title.
openSpecial agent cartoon? Western Animation
So this is a show I saw when I was maybe no older than 5, so it can't be from anywhere beyond 1988 I'd say. Probably a bit older. I know it featured a duo of special agent, a man and woman, at least I think they were there in all episodes. And in the end credit it showed them driving a small car out of the trunk of their bigger car...
One episode I remember in particular had the villain use some sort of gas that would turn people into red stone. They wanted to spray it over beaches (in South-America maybe?) from the airship. The hero got his hand touched by it so for the rest of the episode he had a big rocky hand and near the climax he used it to break into the villain's airship, saying something along the line of "let's use what they gave me" or something.
I also remember an episode with a humongous cobra that turned people into cobra with its venom but that might be me misremembering a GI Joe episode instead but I can't trace it either...
Thanks in advance!
openEARLYS 2000S SPACE CARTOON Western Animation
I've literally been trying to figure out this show for 3 years so please help me. It's a cartoon I remember watching as a child in the early 2000s I believe, although I'm not totally sure it was geared at children because I would always catch it at night and very early in the morning. I also remember it being a little dark or cynical and not totally enjoying as a child but for some reason it still fascinated me. It's about a crew in space who end up on a deserted planet and their biggest struggle is that they can't get home. They've established a base on this planet but the rest of it is pretty much just a desert. They're a crew of around 5 five people but all I remember about the crew is that the captain is male and the first mate is female and although these 2 are very serious characters the rest are more goofy. The most notable thing I remember about the show is that almost every episode would start and end with the captain sitting in a awn chair or potentially an arm chair on the edge of a cliff overlooking this vast desert planet staring at nothing. This is where he would do all his thinking and the best way I can describe him is burdened with responsibility.
openMagic Cartoon??? Western Animation
I remember as a kid I watched this TV show where a bit was teleported to a magic world where he met this orange haired elf girl with a large ponytail. They had to save the world by adding gemstones to this book that had the ability to capture or destroy the ultimate evil. They're able to summon creatures with these crystal things as well.
The beginning scene was the him boy running in track and suddenly being teleported after the young elf girl takes a book and reads it. Before hand there was an intro explaining what the book could do and how there were two people before hand that brought the main evil to it's knees.
For the life of me I can't recall the name. It started with Mag- maybe?
openHelp Western Animation
There was a animated show (series), it used to be on netflix a long time ago but then deleted. I remember it was about a boy that was runing in track but then got sucked into a different world through a ring his gramps left. In the world he meets some people that becomes his friend (I believe it was one girl and one boy). There are also monsters in the world and one befriend the boy. With his new fiends they have to go all over the place helping people from danger and a magic book help guide them all over. That is what I remember I tried looking for it so many times but I was never able to find it. If anyone knows what it is or has an Idea please help! PLEASE AND THANKYOU!!!!
open1980’s or 1990’s Easter Cartoon TV Special Western Animation
I saw it only once when I was around 8 or 9. I remember watching it at Easter time sometime between 1993 and 1996. It was an Easter cartoon special, not reoccurring TV show with an Easter themed episode. I don’t think it was a full-length movie, although it could have been. If it was a movie, it was never in theaters. All I can remember is there we’re talking farm or woodland animals. One of those animals was a rabbit, he seemed to be the central/most memorable animal character. I want to say it took place on or near a farm. There was a boy on the farm. He was the protagonist along with the talking animals. I don’t know if the boy and animals talked to each other, but the animals talked to one another. The antagonist was a machine or robotic type being I remember. It could have been a tractor or a piece of farm equipment. I remember there being s tractor on the farm somewhere. I remembered that the machine/robot somehow hurt the boy, or defeated him somehow. The boy was on the ground hurt, and I remembered how bad I felt and how much I hated that evil robot machine villain thing. The animals were devastated and were on the boy’s side when this happened. I don’t remember what happened at th end, or how everything turned out for the boy and the animals. I want to say that the animals somehow saved the boy from the machine villain but I can’t distinctly remember how that happened. I have always connected the memory of this animated TV special with Easter time, and Easter themed, though I have no memory of the show itself besides the taking rabbit to associate to Easter specifically. I’ve been struggling with this memory and wanting to know what it is I remembered after all these years. I know I remember the way it made me feel the most. Maybe that’s the reason I can’t let it go, and I need to know more. I’ve been struggling with this for 15+ years. Anything would help! Thank you!
openCan’t figure it out Western Animation
I’m looking for a show that I saw years ago while growing up. It was a sort of fantasy series. I can’t remember much about it but I know the main character was a boy and he was trying to beat a group of monsters. The monsters were like all brothers or something and I’m pretty sure one of them was named Ichabod or something like that. I also remember that the boy had some sort of special item to help him beat the monsters. It’s not much to go on but if it clicks for anyone please let me know. It’s been bugging me for years and I can’t find anything about it anywhere. Thanks in advance if you can figure it out.

I can't remember too much about the show, but it was two girls who I assume we're sisters who fought bad guys with their music. They were rockstars with a slightly more punk rock look. I could be wrong, but I feel like they were Korean?
