openShow with young man and monster Western Animation
I once saw this on a trip, I believe, so it probably comes from late 2000s-early 2010s, and in America, probably American in origin. It had a similar style to Ben 10 (and there's the possibility it could be it, I've never seen Ben 10) but I'm not sure if that was it. It involved a young man and his sasquatch-like friend running through this facility (iirc, it looked vaguely like a modern mansion from the outside, but the rooms were mostly empty) with a vehicle bay running from this villain who I think looked humanoid but had a really long tongue/weird mouth. There was a scene where, after the young man and the sasquatch split up, the young man realizes that the weird mouth guy isn't following them for the reason they initially thought, he's following them because he wants to eat the sasquatch. TYIA!
openI don’t know! That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Western Animation
Okay, so here’s what I remember. (This was something I watched in the 2000’s.) So there was this boy, maybe 10-13, that was on a battlefield. People were dying around him and eventually someone he loved or cared about dyed in front of him. He is in anguish and I think he yells which releases the spirit of a shadowy like dragon with red eyes that is attached to the boy’s back kind of like a genie. This particular spirit guardian turns out to be like a well known ancient all powerful spirit. The people in the battle watch in amazement as they realize that the little boy has just summoned this known guardian. If I remember correctly the “Black dragon/shadow dragon” was the term the people used for this shadow he conjured. Anyway that was like episode 1 of whatever show this was. I caught another episode later on and it was the boy struggling to summon his dragon guardian companion during a battle. Everyone has their own spirit guardian btw his was just special apparently. People fought in this show by channeling their spirit guardian’s energy and strength into themselves. Him and his guardian weren’t getting along or something and you can’t just force your guardian out you have to “become one and accept them” or something like that. LOL. This show is either an anime or a cartoon, it was English when I watched it. It didn’t have a very “anime” like vibe to it visually. It seemed darker than your normal cartoon. Think Attack on Titan mixed with Avatar the last air bender. Not really all that colorful but with those character styles. At least that’s what I remember, it may look a little older. It may be an anime! No idea!
openZombie & Werewolf shorts Western Animation
There are two short cartoons that I saw either on Teletoon or The Zone that are both horror themed and I believe they were back to back, maybe a pilot of a failed show. I think it was Canadian and it aired 10+ years ago. The first one starred some kid who's parents had arranged for him to marry a zombie girl. He doesn't want to marry her and there's a scene where his family and the zombie family are sitting at the dinner table and the zombie girl blows him a kiss, which is visualized as a black rotting pair of lips floating towards him. The episode ends with it having been a dream and the guy shrugs and walks like a zombie The second episode was about this guy who turns into a werewolf. There's a nerdy girl in his class who he's not into and she keeps saying "I looove hairy mennn." After the kid fully transforms into a werewolf he goes to her house and the episode ends with him basically being her dog.
openFancy drama cartoon named after main heroine Western Animation
Soo i'm pretty sure im not making up a western style cartoon show that ran probably early 2000s, i believe it was a drama/romance sort of show aimed at young teens so i was a bit too young at the time to pay full attention. It was about a young girl/woman with long brunette hair (i think, could have been blonde) and the show was named after her but there was a cast of other people aswell. It took place in a green countryside in a fancy villa or something like that probably in a time before the 1900s cause all the men were gentlemen and the women had fancy dresses. I'm certain horses were involved somewhere. I want to call it Isabelle? or Annabelle? Cara...belle?

opentv show that predicited the future Western Animation
So in around 2006 from 2008(but it could've been earlier this is just when I saw it) there was a tv show or special. I'm not sure what channel it was on or when it was made. The basic plot was there was a girl who was either Mexican or Hispanic I'm not sure which she was young not sure her exact age but less than 7. So it was basically what the US would be like in the future. It actual was her narrating her life and what happend is she was an illegal immigrant who now lives in America. When she was crossing the border to the US I remember a gunman shooting into a crowd of people crossing. Later she's living in US and a nuclear bomb is dropped and that's all I remember. It was also a cartoon where it looked like actual people.
openSci-Fy CGI show from 200X Western Animation
Hey guys, hope you can help me out on this one and in the process have that awesome nostalgic-like of "OH YEAAAH I REMEMBER" feeling. Recently my memory made me remember a scene that got stuck in my head so many years ago from a Show that maybe aired on Jetix or Nickelodeon.. It had a futuristic setting and a short haired caucasian male character who had a crush for a short haired blonde character with a mole on her face... I can only remember this one scene where they both get stuck in a spaceship under the snow and they almost kiss... I remember that being like the end of an episode or something... I think that show got cancelled afterwards so I dunno if that was like the season finale. Only thing I know is that I stopped watching it after that and never encountered it again.

openFantasy/ Sci-Fi tv Show That I can't find anywhere Western Animation
The show was on somewhere in between 1998 and 2005, It resembled a lot of the other shows I watched when I was a kid Ex. Winx Club, Digimon, Yugioh, etc. but had either witches or Sorceresses (Not the show WITCH) it had a lot of creatures that the characters had to fight, and was serious or emotional at times. I remember a lot of the main characters having blonde hair.
openHairy scientists think they're better than boy? Western Animation
So there's this cartoon and I think it's snowing, and a little boy is trying to save the day, but three guys say, "What can you do?! You're just a little kid with no hair on your body! We're highly educated scientists with a lot of hair on our bodies!" and then they lift up their shirts to reveal a ridiculous amount of chest hair.

opentv cartoon for young children with humanoid badgers Western Animation
ok so there was this show I used to watch on on demand as a child. it's cgi, and probably made in the early 2000's. i remember only one episode of this show, which was about the female main character only wanted to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. throughout the whole episode she is only given these sandwiches by her mother, while her baby sister gets normal food. the show has humanoid badgers but im pretty sure there was other animals, because there was a birthday scene in the episode i remember that had other kids. i cant seem to find anything about the show, no matter how much I try. i remember not liking it that much, hence why I watched only one episode. and dont quote me on this, but im pretty sure the female main character had a bow.
openPossible Walt Disney Presents? 50's cartoon about the future from that time period Western Animation
My mom was trying to remember a cartoon from her childhood. She thinks it was part of Wonderful World of Disney or Disney's Wonderful World of Color or whatever it was. Though that's not solid 100%. All she remembers is that it was sort of simple animation, like line drawn type style, and it was about the future from that point forward. There was a little dude with a square like head that was going through a lab and there were beakers everywhere and these unknown entities grabbed him and started experimenting on him and then they kicked him out and thats all she really remembers. Any thoughts?
Edited by chumonopenChildren's bible stories Western Animation
I'm looking for a tv show, animated, for kids, made in the late 1980s or early 1990s. There were a lot of songs in the show. One has to do with the miracles that god made with water, the chorus went " water water god....with water. God made many miracles with water, water". I feel like it was a combination of modern and old characters but I'm not certain on that bit.
openOLD SILENT CGI MOVIE ABOUT MUSIC AND DANCE FOR KIDS Western Animation
So when I was in elementary school I remember my music teacher showing us this movie about music and dance. It was CGI and had lots of colors and music in it, but the main character never spoke, he would just dance and move around to the beat of the music playing and that was his way of communicating with all of the animals and people he encountered. I don't remember the plot but the main character would just be walking and dancing around outside and dancing with the animals to the beat of the music. The main character was a short stubby little blonde boy character. I believe he wore a blue shirt and maybe dark blue pants. I remember the colors because it was a very colorful film. The sky was very bright blue in all of the outside scenes. The movie was very clearly CGI animation though, it wasn't meant to look realistic at all. The character was probably about 3 ft tall maybe? It was a children's movie I think.

openUnknown Western Animation
Does anyone remember this show on CBC that was animated and the main girl had short brown hair, white blouse with a red cardigan, and two red bows in her hair? She had two friends, one was a girl with short red hair with a daisy in it and a yellow long sleeved top and the other was a blonde boy with glasses, freckles, and a green t-shirt. I saw a picture from it but I can’t remember the name of the show.

I remember a tv show broadcasting on disney awhile back, the animation was animeesque but I'm fairly sure it was western made with the color palette they used, the show was either set in high school in community college, and the teenagers might be some sort of community help group if i remember
