openI don't fully remember it, but I think it was canadian, and on Nickeloden Western Animation
I don't remember much from it, but it was a cartoon about a kid, who I think it was a pervert. There was this episode where his family buy a dog, but while the dog loves the family, it hates the protagonist. The opening, I think, was kinda wacky, with all the characters dancing, or at least, a fat man who, was at first dancing with his wife (I think), but then went full disco all alone.
openCGI movie with a singing animal in it Western Animation
A while back, I saw this animated movie (possibly CGI) that had some animal character singing a song to the tune of Teddy Bears' Picnic and part of the lyrics were about an elf or leprechaun or something like that constantly having to pee. I think the animal was voiced by either Andy Dick, David Spade or Ashton Kutcher. For some reason, I'm thinking of Open Season or one of the Happily N'Ever after movies but I could be wrong. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
openKids cartoon that dealt with 2 robots, similar to edutainment like genre Western Animation
The show dealt with 2 robots, one of them did not have legs, and it was a male and female robot, with the female one asking the questions, and the male one often being the guy having to answer them. I remember the male robot often laughed whenever a drawing of a monkey was shown. It was cgi, and it aired on ytv...
openScottish/British childrens story-book style show that I remember watching from school. Western Animation
I will start by saying that I will be very surprised if any American users will remember, as from what I recall this show was quintessentially British and I can't imagine it being shown overseas.
The TV show is one I have been trying to find for years - it was a different story every time but featuring the same types of characters. It was very Scottish - all set in the countryside highlands and featuring these funny little characters that were short and squat, with big beards and round black eyes.
It wasn't animated as such, it was still frame pictures that illustrated the narration, and from what I remember it was drawn lovingly in a very pastel or watercolour style. The narrator was female and had - and I remember this clear as day - a very gentle, Scottish accent.
Some quick points:
I remember watching this in school during "TV time," when we kids would all gather around to watch it on VHS. Even as a child I never saw it at home. I don't know if it was ever shown amongst the BBC learning shows that played in the 90's during school hours.
I am a 90's child born in 1990, so it would of been around 1994-1996 that I was watching and it did seem of its time, though I would say early 90's generally.
I imagine it was intended for younger children of say, 4-6 years.
If anyone remembers, please help!
Edited by thecatcalledfishopenAncient Marco Polo Cartoon Western Animation
This is an odd request, but it keeps nagging me. Way back when I was a kid (between 1987 and 1990), I taped part of an animated film about Marco Polo's travels. The one segment I recorded that clearly stuck in my mind involved the ship back to Europe being damaged by a storm, forcing the crew to take temporary refuge on the Island of Dog-Men, which was inhabited by a Cannibal Tribe who dressed up in dog-pelts (wearing the empty heads as helmets). There was a nerve-racking assault by the howling, torch-bearing Dog-Men before the repaired ship managed to flee, ultimately returning home in triumph.
I have no idea what the show was. Through a final fluke of luck, I think maybe it was the 1972 animated film "The Travels of Marco Polo", as the animation seems to match my very dim memories of the scene I had taped:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zShEOzpI5oo
Thing is, my network is abysmal, so I can't simply watch this video through to the end and see if it has the Isle of Dog-Men sequence to prove it's what I'm after. Can anyone help me find out what the Marco Polo cartoon I'm chasing is?
If it does turn out to be The Travels of Marco Polo... anyone know if there's any place to find it in English? Link is in Turkish, and there's an Arabic translation of it as well.
openCGI cartoon set in a library in the middle of the desert? Western Animation
I remember seeing a little bit of this cartoon where there were a bunch of kids playing soccer outside of a building. A younger boy tries to get the ball, but is overtaken by an older boy and made fun of for his size. They're about to argue but are called inside to the building, which I think was some kind of library or school. I think the kids that went into the building were going to listen to a story or something, or maybe listen to a lesson of some kind. The teacher/storyteller might have been some kind of animal, but I'm not sure. The setting looked almost like the Australian outback: a flat rocky plain wih red dust for the ground, and sparse trees. Any idea what this could be?

openWhat episode of Martha Speaks is this? Western Animation
An episode of Martha Speaks with this conversation (I think at a restaurant)
- Daniel (Helen's dad): "Ugh, everyone in this family's bilingual, except me! Even Martha! I bet Martha could translate those dogs!"Martha: "Translate? You mean could I tell you in English what those dogs are saying in Dog?"
open2d cartoon??? Help! Western Animation

openCartoon from late 00s/early 10s Western Animation
A 3D cartoon with a bunch of teenagers set in some futuristic city and each one of them had a unique vehicle (I remember a guy in orange with a motorcycle and one in green with Rollerblades) and the main character was riding a hoverboard and I think some old dude was their mentor or something.

openSpongebob episode with Spongebob being a lifeguard? Western Animation
So it's an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, and everyone thinks that to be a lifeguard, all you need to do is have white stuff on your nose, and so Spongebob gets angry (I don't know why), and he says "I'm so angry, I wanna get struck by... a flying ice cream truck!". He then does get struck by a flying ice cream truck, and ends up with white ice cream on his nose, so he somehow is a lifeguard now, but then Patrick starts Hollywood Drowning and Spongebob says, "Patrick can't drown if there's no water for him to drown in" (this line sticks out because he called it water when Goo Lagoon is meant to have goo), so he drinks the water/goo, but then swallows Patrick too and he's still drowning. I think it also has an Imagine Spot of there being gravestones in the goo and he tells them not to swim, again calling it water, by saying there are sharks and sea monsters, but a real shark and sea monster are offended because they think he's talking about their families.

openFantasy show Western Animation
There was a cartoon about a flying worm with arms named Omar or Omen or something, with a talking owl in a chef's hat and apron, an a muscular blonde guy that came from the stars and wielded the power of a giant crystal. The badguys (I only remember one who looked like a snake and the one who had flame for a tongue) flew on a giant mushroom, there was a giant spider that bit into the giant crystal, a dark badguy, a saucer-shaped space ship, and a mermaid. And all I remember of the opening song are the lyrics "...We are the guardians of life",
openOld Childrens Show Western Animation
I can't seem to remember the name of this old show I used to love. There was a boy and girl whom we're friends animals that also involved a library run by a lion I think and a giant tree. That's all I remember...

Memories pretty hazy about it but from what I recall it involved a boy, a girl who did magic with a book, stereotypical strong but stupid knight and a princess who they were trying to protect. The villain trying to kidnap her was tall with black hair and he had some kind of animal sidekick. King Arthurs Disasters kind of 2D animation.
