AND not sure in what context that episode was pudding related.
Please, help, this is killing me
openCartoon about 5 little flying multicolored characters Western Animation
It was a kid show, it was for kids but not for babies, 2D animation. I saw it at least 8 years ago in Spain, but it has probably aired in other European countries, if I remember correctly it was aired on one of Disney's channels, very early in the morning.
The main characters were 5 tiny humanoid beings of different colors. There was a red one, a green one, a blue one... There was a yellow one who's eyes were arrows (I think) And there was a purple one who only spoke saying "yes" and "no" They could fly except for the purple one. They had a friend who was a young human girl and I think they all lived in a laboratory with her dad or something and they had adventures related to technology.
I haven't found anything about it on the internet, at this point the only proof I have is my memory.
I have a drawing I did of the characters but it doesn't let me link it.
Edited by Daviseti12openAnimated series about a boy discovering worlds Western Animation
Date: 15-20+ years old.
Country of origin: Unknown, probably western animation.
The drawing was artistic. In each episode the kid discovers and enters tiny worlds around him. Once he studies his ice cream up close and notices tiny eskimo-like people in it and soon he finds himself among them. Another time, as he lays in the bathtub, he checks his knees and realizes that they are islands for tiny people, sailing on boats, in the tub. One more is when he's cracking open a hard boiled egg and again, finds a tiny world inside, gets transported there, has adventures with it's inhabitants. This was the structure of every episode.
It's not the Once Upon a Time series or The Littles.
The color scheme was similar to that of this cartoon:

And the drawing style was similar to that of this cartoon except what I'm looking for was a bit better drawn:

openCan't remember this one obscure oldish animated show Western Animation
So pretty much all I can remember is that the intro of the show talked about this girl (i think) who was trying to find her father who had vanished while learning about these sorta cryptid animals. The only episode I remember is the group which I can't really remember minus this blond haired dude was exploring this old tombish area riddle with traps. And the dude gets curious about something and gets trapped in this puzzle type thing where he'll get crushed if he can't solve this cube puzzle. He solves it and in it is this weasle type pet monster thing which was hecka cute. I remember this was a saterday morning cartoon possible on 4kids or something like that? It's not Secret Saterdays and trying to figure out what show is driving me nuts.
Edited by AvadenopenWeird wizard school cartoon Western Animation
I unfortunately can only really recall the fact that the main character had a broken radio antennae while all the other characters had actual wands. Also there may have been a bit in the intro where they ride magic carpets? Any help would be appreciated!

openShow where boy turns into animals Western Animation
I have a very vague memory of a show (or maybe it was a game??????) where a boy (maybe there was also a girl) turned into animals. The things I remember most is that the kids had toothbrushes representing the animals they'd be that night and they had a talking pet Goldfish who was basically The Smart Guy. My family denied remembering it when I mentioned it to them years ago, and I can't stop questioning if this really happened, or if it was all a very vivid dream. Help!
openBIZARRE 2D CUTOUT KIDS SHOW Western Animation
I'm looking for a show that's late 90s, maybe early 2000s, I believe it was for kids because there were educational aspects. The animation was like south park, but kinda creepy, like people were lanky and faces were not proportionate. It had mini shows inside the show. The one I remember specifically that I LOVED was a guy going to the zoo, who would pick out a different animal every time to heat eaten by. He would sing a song while being digested and you learnt about the different things the animal would eat. He had a funny name that was part of the song... It could have possibly been a browser game too, because I remember playing the same style games online. Thats all I got and its killing me. Thank you in advanced!
openearly 2000 show Western Animation
It was about a group of kids ending up in a different world. I can't remember if they travelled dimensions. There were 2-3 boys, one was the leader and another was the comic relief. They were also black. As well as a girl with freckles and red hair in pigtails, she was tomboyish and smart. It may have been on cartoon network, Jetix or nickelodeon but probably the latter.
open Animated show? Western Animation
This will be vague. Sorry. This is really bugging me. I think it's a fairly newish show 2010 to now. Not an adult show. Anyway it was about a group of kids in forest, They ended up scared of a monster and stuck in a cabin. I remember the big kid being particularly scared. Anyway i remember 2 of group ventured out and in the end it ended up being a old guy in trailer not a monster. I remember it having great dark animation. I always thought it was Gravity Falls. But i went back and looked and it just doesn't match up.
open1980’s or Early 1990’s Easter 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 were 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. 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 the end, or how everything turned out for the boy and the animals. I want to say that th 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 20+ years. Anything would help! Thank you!
Edited by Sugarcoated1102openHe-Man episode Western Animation
I know it doesn't exactly fit into the "show" part of this but there's one episode of He-Man that I've been trying to remember. As I recall, there was some kind of beast or energy field or something that drained the characters of their talents- He-Man lost his strength, Teela lost her agility, Orko lost his magic. There may have been a subplot involving Orko becoming unconfident in himself and trying to leave the castle, and I think Evil-Lyn may appear as well. I know for certain it's an episode of the original 80s cartoon, too. tyia!
openAnimated underwater show, probably from the early 90s/late 80s Western Animation
So I barely remember anything about this show at all. There was an underwater society filled with different sea creatures (maybe all fish like, I'm not sure). I feel like there was a fairly big cast and lots of different subplots with some serialized elements even spanning multiple episodes. I'm not a 100% sure about this, but I believe the characters lived in buildings and some of them even drove vehicles (more iffy about the latter than the former). I wish I could remember what kind of plots the show actually dealt with, but I'm completely blank on this.
I know for a fact I watched it in the mid to early 90s and it didn't seem like a super old show at the time.
For the record, I saw this on Norwegian tv (the channel would've been NRK) with Norwegian dubs, so I can't say for sure it's of western origin, but in my memory, it doesn't feel like it was anime.
openI cant fund that damn tv show Western Animation
Okay so i remember when I was kid there was this channel that transmitted a lot of cartoona in albanian but some where also in macedonian or serbian im not sure. Anyway there was this show about a bunch of teenage kids and they went to this special place or academy or something and they played this simulation game that also included cards. They had to choose an avatae and the avatars looked like weird creatures eg.one of them was a girl and she was red and had big wings and I think her name started with a T (I think it was Takinomi). The creatures were seperated into like species some od them were insect like and some were seperates into undergekund creatures and some lived into a forest like enviroment. I rember one of the main characters name was Tom and he had black hair and always wore this blue T-shirt or shirt (I can't remember well) . Anyway I can't find I was hoping that someone could help me with that. Any information is highly appreciated m
openAnimated TV show about the protagonists learning their powers from a tutor Western Animation
It's literally been so many years I've been trying to remember this. I just remember it's an animated TV show, possibly anime with english dubs but I can't be sure. I've seen it twice- one episode I think was pretty early on judging by the exposition. The scene I remember involves a (orphaned??) boy (the protagonist I think) and this rich girl meeting with this guy who knows the ropes on the world's magic system. I think he was an old adventurer after his glory days, and he seemed like an idol for one or both of the kids. The magic system doesn't seem to be magic, exactly, more like kind of videogame-esque powers/spells. When the boy asks the guy to teach him, he says he couldn't afford it, and the rich girl says "but I can", offering to pay for both their educations "plus expenses". Then, the guy tries to teach the boy how to essentially conjure a flame in his hand, but the boy can't do it, which is odd because apparently a kid half the boy's age should be able to do it. It's also odd because I think the boy's dad was an accomplished caster so it's weird for his kid to be unskilled. I think, anyway. They definitely mention his dad and talk about hard work and stuff.
The other piece of an episode I saw was later, and I think it was a much later episode in the series. All I remember is those characters climbing on rooftops (or something similar), being chased by a bunch of bad guys. When they reach a big gap, the protagonists say 'hyperjump' or something like that, and that causes them to be able to jump the gap. That's also why I think this is much later in the series, cause the boy who couldn't conjure anything seems to have got the grasp of his powers. After they jump, the bad guys following them do the same thing, but that's as much as I can remember. (I wasn't sure what medium to put so I did Western Animation I hope that's right. Also sorry if this is, like, super obvious.)
opencgi animated children's show, characters based off the five senses Western Animation
I remember this show from when I was very little, I watched a couple of episodes, I think it may have been a part of the TV network Qubo. There were maybe 5 characters, each based off of the 5 senses, and they were little chibi-like characters. I'm pretty sure the one for taste had a big toungue and he was green. That's all I remember pls help
openKids Cartoon with bright colours and animals Western Animation
Date: Aired Anytime around 2006-2009 (The kinda years a 2003 kid would be watching) Country of origin: England (possibly) Country I watched in: Ireland (on a Uk channel) Channel/Network: Nick Jr or Cbeebies
So, this show, I believe, was set around a group of animals in thus bright, colourful world. I think there was a narrating male voice, however, it could've been the voice of a character. Each episode they had a new 'guest', which was created by getting a picture of the face of 2 children from the real world (presumably a kid who had their photo sent in, to go on the show). They would put the face onto a cartoon body and they would be a non-speaking character. These characters would be called 'The Little Boy' or 'The Little Girl'.
Other characters: Banjo the purple monkey. He did kartwheels a lot. An elephant who was 'in charge' of everyone else.
-there was also some sort of 'problem' to be solved each episode, and 'The Little Boy/Girl' would end up solving it. (I think)
openCartoon Western Animation
I believe this show is about a group of people that agreed to be shrunk and live together in a miniature town in a snow globe/aquarium(without the water)/something similar. I keep thinking it was aired on Jetix, though after searching through its list of shows I couldn't find it (so I might be mistaken). I watched it when I was little, so let us say that it was aired somewhere between 2003-2009. The aforementioned description might just be a figment of my imagination (probably induced by a yet-undiscovered brain tumor...), however I distinctly remember (so, not tumor-induced) two moments of the show: 1) In one episode the father of the main family (I think) fools the entire town into believing that he can walk on water by walking across a swimming pool, while in reality a row of chairs had been placed at the bottom of the swimming pool (it is also possible that he too was tricked into thinking he could walk on water and that someone else placed the chairs(to make the father feel better about something, perchance)). The chairs remained unnoticed because of the way the light refracted of the surface of the pool 2)In a different episode (probably) the daughter of the main family has a teenage angst phase and wants to leave the domed (?) town, packs and waits for a bus to take her away, but her mother (I suppose) stops her. The main family I keep mentioning consists (I think) out of 1 dad, 1 mom, 1 son and 1 daughter (who is older than the son). Other than this, the only other thing I can remember is a side character - a female teacher who is grumpy/always against everyone else. That is all my feeble memory (or insane, tumor-esque imagination) can muster, I hope it is enough for you to go on. I would be most grateful if you could help.
openAnimated Show with Monster/Ghost Western Animation
This is going to be really vague. But I watched one Episode of this show when I was a child around 1998 and maybe 2004 which followed me my entire childhood. It was animated and it might even be ghostbusters or scooby doo, but I am trying to find this particular Episode to finally get closure. lol There was this monster or ghost that came through the closet and kidnapped children in a different dimension I think. If I remember correctly it might have been purple and an upside down triangle, I am not sure on those facts though.
Please, please I hope somebody knows what I am talking about.

okay this has been killing me for a while. it's a western animesque show (maybe french canadian?), but literally the only thing i can remember is a single part of an episode. there's some monster the main characters are fighting, and one of their friends who's trying to help throws a jar full of these purple fried-egg-looking-things and loudly refers to them as "the purple goo," but it's the wrong stuff and only makes the monster stronger. this vague memory has been haunting me for so long, save me
