openOld episode of Olliver's adventures about a dog eating a sentient hotdog villain Western Animation
There was a really old cartoon show named Ollivers Adventures about a kid named Olliver who would go on adventures with his apparently sentient toys(consisting of a caveman, lizard, alien and a cavewoman)and fighting villains of the weeks.
The episode I'm looking for is the one where the kid faces off against a villain who was a sentient hotdog in a business suit. The kids dog (who is also sentient) ate the villain to defeat him and it was treated as a humourous event by the narrator.(What Measure Is a Non-Human? was apparently in full effect)
Can someone please tell me the name of that episode

resolved A show about two boys and their sister Western Animation
There was this one show I watched as a kid where two boys play pretend and their sister is portrayed as an antagonist in their pretend plays. I remember the Frankenstein parody but nothing beyond that.
resolved I dunno Western Animation
an 2d animated animesque (specifically a similar style to Avatar and Voltron Legendary Defender) pilot that I saw on Youtube it started with a race between a boy riding on... something (I think it was like a big raptor bird thing but I don't know for sure) and he was racing against a giant talking cat, the two of them were bickering like brothers and the cat said that if he won the kid was having a bath, the kid said something along the lines of "no way! your sandpapery tongue feels weird!" then the race was done and some soldiers were attacking a village full of... all I can remember about the people living in it is that they were maybe on the heavier side? IDK and I think the kid was wearing a unitard and those soldiers had black armor?
resolved Cartoon with Colourful Bears Western Animation
When I was a teeny tiny child, I had a video for an All-CGI Cartoon starring a cast of colourful bears. The whole world was a bit trippy tbh and I think rainbows were involved? If I'm not mistaken, I also owned at least two plushies of characters from the show. I just can't put a name to it...
ETA: After further investigation, it turns out I was thinking of Jellabies (Or Jellikins, as I knew it)! Disregard, locking.
Edited by RiolugirlopenAutonomous Rover Defeated with Water? Western Animation
Been trying to find an episode of something, with no luck. Had originally thought it was G.I. Joe, but it doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere this doll can find, and can't even find it as an episode of some other cartoon. It involved a computerized space exploration vehicle that broke loose on Earth. Can't remember for sure what planet it was set to explore, but keep thinking maybe Venus? Either way, it was defeated with water, as that was the one contingency it wasn't designed for, since they were sure it wouldn't encounter that.
resolved looking for stopmotion film Western Animation
The premise of the film is about astronauts trying to stop an asteroid (possibly a spoof of Armageddon) It was a comedy and was most likely R rated since it had some raunchy jokes
openLooking for a British or Australian made cartoon from the '90s with a cast of elementary kids Western Animation
I don't know if this show was made in the 1990s but that's the time I remember watching it as a kid. Memory's vague but the art style somewhat reminded me of Peanuts and I recall a few of the main characters consisting of a tall black boy wearing a red sweater, a rather sassy girl in a wheelchair wearing a purple dress, and a young, bespectacled blonde woman who was their teacher. I can barely recall most of it but I remember this one episode where one of the hyper-imaginative kids got so into the idea that he's some kind of superhero that other kids started to follow suit, and the opposing kids forming their own "anti-superhero" team by dressing up as humanoid mutant alligators. They almost get into a rough playground fight until their teacher dresses herself as an amalgamation of a superhero and a mutant alligator, calls herself their "god", and essentially gets them all to calm down by imparting a lesson about getting along and settling differences peacefully.
I don't recall their accents but it was definitely not American, sounding either British or Australian. Asking here because I tried to google it based on these few memories and had no luck so far.
Edited by 9thOutworldsManopenGirl cartoon theme song 2000s Western Animation
Girl-centric cartoon from the early 2000s and the only thing I remember seems to be a fragment of the intro theme song lyrics. To the best of my ability, I think it went something like:
"Let's a make a wish - blue, blue - make it come true! Do all the things that you do!"
Admittedly, this would be clearer if I could provide a tune, but it had a bouncy 2000s pop vibe, if that helps. The show could have had some fantasy aspect to it, I'm not sure.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

The dog is abandoned by the boyfriend of his female owner out of spite, he finds himself on a farm with a rough collie who becomes his own girlfriend eventually. I think they have puppies? The collie's farmer owner almost shoots the dog protagonist for some reason.
openCartoon - kid taking cashews out of food Western Animation
Maybe an episode of The Simpsons (though I Googled "Simpsons cashew" and didn't get it), but I'm not entirely sure. A kid (I think a boy if I remember rightly, but again I'm not sure) is sitting on a chair with a dish of food (I don't recall what the food was) and throwing the cashews out of it while saying, "Cashew, cashew, cashew, cashew..."
resolved Animated kids show featuring two anthropomorphic siblings as main characters. Western Animation
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to remember a 2D animated kids' show I used to watch around late 2019 and early 2021. Here’s what I recall:
Main Characters: The show featured a brother and sister who were anthropomorphic, fluffy, orange animals. The sister used a wheelchair, while the brother was able-bodied. They were both depicted as young kids.
Plot and Setting: The show centered around their adventures together, which took place both during the day and at night. They lived together in a house and would often have friends who sometimes joined them on their adventures.
Animation Style and Production: The animation was in 2D and had a unique style. I believe the show might have aired on Jim Jam and could have been associated with HIT Entertainment or Mattel.
Timeframe: I watched episodes or reruns during the early 2020s, but the show could have originally aired earlier.
I’ve been searching for this show but haven’t had any luck. If anyone here recognizes it or can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks!
- Note: I used ai since I couldn't describe the show any better than that.
openThree heroes and talking car Western Animation
Someone asked me if I could find a cartoon that they saw years ago. It's about three superheroes with a talking car. According to their memories, the heroes were a nerd guy in blue, a girl in pink and a muscular guy in yellow. The car was also blue and had eyes for headlights. The carton had a Monster of the Week format and looked like a hybrid between Power Rangers and Teen Titans.

openAnimated show where they play a horse riding simulator Western Animation
I watched this sometime in the late 2000s or early 2010s, I'm pretty sure it was animated in CGI. In one episode a woman is showing someone else how to play a horse riding simulator game where you pull controllers to pull the reins left and right. At one point they play a different simulator where they drive a boat avoiding icebergs (or rocks, I'm not sure). There was also someone calmly singing about how they love living here, which was possibly the credits theme.
openThe Man Western Animation
As a kid I had a plushy whose name I could never remember (I just called him “the man”) but he was a cartoon character. I believe he was a giant with blonde hair with a big, Jay Leno-esque chin and a big, fat belly. He wore a dark green jacket and tights with a pouch around his neck and I think he wore brown shoes. I may still have him. If I can find him, I’ll post a picture. Please help!
openA kids show from my fuzzy memory Western Animation
There was a cartoon I remembered seeing a long time ago, but I have difficulty remembering a lot about it or even the name of this show so bear in mind I might misremember some stuff.
It was completely animated, likely 3D. Definitely no live-action elements. It was targeted for young children. I think I saw it on YouTube around the early-to-mid 2010s.
The setting took place in a white void (similar to Pocoyo) and I believe there were some sentient colorful numbers ranging from one to ten (similar to Numberjacks) since I remembered there was some counting involved at either the opening or the ending to an episode.
There was an episode I know where a young human character (presumably the main protagonist) is helping another young human character find a castle and the main character(?) suggests they "ask the aeroplane" (A miniature functioning red biplane that looked like a toy), but the airplane flies away and didn't bother to talk to the two characters. They eventually find this castle which happened to only have an empty room and the secondary character became disappointed about something. The main character then comforts the secondary character and I think the castle floor was a trampoline like a bouncy castle.
Edited by ObserverfromafaropenClaymation show Western Animation
There was a show that was claymated and had a big boy with brown hair. I don't know the name of it but I have seen it the YouTube crossovers.

So I originally saw this as a kid ( 90s, UK but could be imported) and it was either broadcast or a vhs I had.
It was a colour cartoon, I think had a cheap animation feel to it. World populated by Victorian/old fashioned animal people.
The scene/song I remember was a fox or cat woman, singing a villain song about wanting a niece. The line I recall was "Do you hear me? I want a niece!", very repetitive song number. Very angry fox woman! I remember her throwing items around as she half-dances about.
Her species could have been something else but she was orange/brown and "evil" looking, sharp muzzle and ears etc.
