open(SOLVED: Dreamstone ep Planet Prunus) Chair and hairdryer-like flower Western Animation
I remember an animated scene in what was probably an episode of some series.
In that scene, a grandma-like woman was sitting in a chair topped by a big flower covering her head like a hairdryer. Leading to the chair were lines of flowers. At least twice, the lady would receive a message, carried by the flowers whispering to one another until it reached the "hairdryer" flower, which either whispered it in turn to the woman or sent it directly into her head.
I think the heroes were kids sent to meet the woman, and the character designs were probably humanoid but not human.

So Im about 10 years old and this CGI cartoon comes up. I only vaguely remember it because it was decades ago, but it's come up now and I GOTTA know what it is.
What I remember?
- It was some sort of circus - Entire cast wore masks - They spoke either french or just nonesense language - One had a long pointy nose on its mask - They had horns on their masks - One had a spot or a star over its eye - There was a scene where two were on a trapeze.
I've been trying to find it for weeks with little success. It even stumped the /co/ board of 4chan. So this...this is my final hope.

What cartoon is this character from?
I'm looking for the cartoon this character comes from. It's an old cartoon from the 80's or 90's that may or may not be European.
The character is a cat with light brown fur, and is wearing an orange coat with white pants and red heeled shoes. Here is a picture of her: http://tinyurl.com/k8ld8h5

A very hazy memory from my distant youth, so it could be a total fabrication, but it was an animated film, or possibly series, which featured an anthropomorphic mouse, who I think might have been some kind of noir-ish detective. The one distinguishing feature I recall is that he had some kind of compartment in his chest that he stored things in, possibly clues, despite being wholly organic. That's the part that stuck in my brain anyway. Was it all just some strange fever-dream?

It was a show I saw when I was very young so bear with me. I recall it being about dragons. I remeber several wizards who were kinda color coded, and each one had a dragon. The main good wizard was green and the bad one was red. I think the main character was sucked into this fantasy world. I think I saw dice so maybe it was a dungeons and dragons cartoon.
And this is the only scene I remember clearly...ish. A red head strangter dressed a bit like robin hood appears. There's a short conversation and he takes of his hat, and there's a bunch of sparkles as a bunch of red hair cascades down and we see he is a she. Maybe I was the only one confused as to her gender but I think the character(s) who saw this had the same samus is a girl reaction as me.
Thinking back the art style kinda reminds me of the Last Unicorn and the old animated Lord of the Rings Movies. Am I just lumping a bunch of shows together or was this real?

I think I remember this show (I'm pretty sure it was an animated short film) that had no talking in it, just music. It seemed pretty old when I saw it seven years ago. The characters were a female violin and a male...other musical instrument (maybe a percussion?). The violin was somewhat coquettish and the male was in love with her (I'm not sure if it was returned. He was a Dogged Nice Guy). Their own "families" of instruments were at war with each other, so their own pieces conflicted. When the male's father (who might have been a tuba) discovered his son's feelings, he got very angry. I think he tried to lock him away somewhere.
That's all I remember. If anyone can help out, I'd be very appreciative.

I watched a cartoon years ago set around Baker Street. It was centered around a group of street urchins, two in particular (a boy and girl) who lived in a boat moored to a dock. They went around solving some crimes or other peoples troubles. They caught and sold rats for some money. It had a catchy theme song. (something about "How do they munch?/How do they munch?/How./do./they./munch?") - word might be different it was years ago. Any ideas?

Okay, TV Tropes. I have never called on you before, but this is my Holy Grail.
I can not accurately give a time frame, but if I had to guess I would say most likely late 90's. Some time in the past, either I believe Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon held a sweepstakes. The prize was a personalized cartoon. The winner, a young girl, was drawn by whoever was running the sweepstakes into a cartoon character. She was then placed into a sort of duel with a pig character. I think his name was Piggly Wiggly. Most if not all of the cartoon was a back and forth between the two characters, the girl claiming "This is my cartoon!" and the pig claiming "This is the Piggly Wiggly show!" as they fought to out-do each other. It aired probably once.
As you can see, I've already got most of the details. What I am looking for is validation. I have been unable to find any information relating to this cartoon on the internet, and I have been unable to find it on You Tube. I can't find a scrap of documentation on this thing. Any acknowledgement or proof that this show exists (It must!) would be a great peace of mind. Please tell me I am not crazy.

An older cartoon, caught on tape a while ago amidst a whole slew of other cartoons. No dialogue that I remember, only an orchestral score. The story was about anthropomorphized musical instruments. A young tuba was the prince of the wind instruments, and he fell in love with a harp, the princess of the string instruments. Semi-Romeo-and-Juliet kind of story arc resulting in war amongst the winds and the strings. The only other snippet I can recall is during the big battle the winds fight back using an organ, where the pipes shoot out cannonballs or some such thing. It was not a movie, that I recall. A shorter cartoon, possibly similar to the Merrie Melodies cartoons.

An old show I watched occasionally back in the early 00's, it was a science fiction cartoon, with space, spaceships, aliens and all the things you would expect. Three main characters that I remember are: The human male lead, the alien female support (tentacles for arms; wore black suit; either blue or green in colour) and an old human male, with a trucker cap and a prosthetic hand that can morph into tools. One particular episode I recall is where they get stuck on a deserted planet only to discover there are huge black worms living there that they have to repair the ship in order to escape from. This is one that's been niggling at me for ages now, any help will be much appreciated.

I remember seeing part of a show on cartoon network (or something) when I was home sick from school. There was this short guy in an aviator hat who traveled around with this weird blue rat-like thing and this huge guy who had one of those stereotypical Asian braid haircuts. I think their goal was to kill dragons or something. If I remember right, the short might of had an Australian accent.
It was during or after the 00's and i don't think it was a very successful show (I already thought it had been cancelled until that day when I was sick). The title had the word 'dragon' in it I think.
If anyone could tell me the title, that would be great! =D

It was a show about a blonde teenager and he might've fought monsters. He was blonde so I'm pretty sure it wasn't Ben 10. He also may have had a brunette sister with whom he bickered with constantly, but I'm not 100% sure that she was his sister. The only time I can fuzzily remember watching it was when I was home sick one day and I know for sure I didn't watch it after 2009 and it certainly wasn't before 2000. I remember specifically that when he went into some hideout (possibly his) that he had to scan his eye to get access and so did his possible sister. I also remember an episode that had to do with some kind of maze in a courtyard and possibly a mansion/castle. I think it might've been on Cartoon Network, but the day I remember watching it I also remember watching Nick game show reruns, but then again, it wasn't like I didn't know how to use a remote.
Sorry this is so vague! My memory isn't as good as it should be.

I saw this show as a kid but I don't remember the name, it is driving me crazy. Here are some details about it. It is a kids animated tv series about 2 kids who are friends with fairies that protect a magic staff from their enemies. There was this little green guy who helped out the 2 kids and their fairies sometimes and lives in the 2 kids house. One of the fairies has blonde hair and wears a pink dress. A brother and sister move to a secluded home where they descover that fairies are living there. This the plot of one episode: When the brother, sister, and a fairy give the magic staff to bad guys the realize why the fairies need it so badly. They then make a plan to get it back that involves a fake staff made from a needle and bead. It aired in Canada sometime between 2000-2004 I have been searching for more then 6 months now and still have note found anything. If you know the name please tell me.

Hi. I tried to figure out what this movie was called, but I'm not sure what happened to my entry in the old one, so I will try this again.
There was this animated movie I watched several years ago, and the protagonist was a male mouse named Infinity. He lives at this school built into a tree, with the teacher of the school being his uncle, or grandfather or something. The school starts up, and they are joined by a female mouse who plays a violin and who moves in to attend the school there, and the other classmates consist of numbers with arms and legs.
There is also this mean teacher who is very strict and later tries to have school closed, I think. Infinity and the girl mouse eventually come across a hidden chamber under the school, where they find a library and come across a magical book. The book does some sort of magic thing depending on what is in the heart of the one who opens the book, I think.
When Infinity opens the book, it produces an image of him and a golden substance starts pouring out of the book and allows the two mice to fly around, until Infinity's uncle/grandfather/whatever catches them and closes the book, although Infinity forgets to put a sapphire thing needed to keep the book locked back into its slot.
Unbeknownst to them, the evil teacher witnessed the book's magic, and tries to use it for herself. So, after some stuff happens and the school is being forced to close down, Infinity decides to leave for some reason, and the evil teacher goes back to the secret library. However, when she opens the book, it starts flooding the chamber with a black substance (causing the evil teacher to have a My God, What Have I Done? moment), and Infinity must get to it and put the sapphire thing back in to lock it.
He succeeds, although is injured in the process, but he recovers, the no longer evil teacher decides to leave, the school stays open and I think it ends with the mice and their classmates dancing while the female mouse plays her violin.
... Yeah, I remember a lot of details about it, but I don't know what the movie was called. Does anyone know?

There's a cartoon I vaguely remember from my childhood about inanimate objects that came to life when no one was around. I think the main character was either a white or blue cloth-type thing with a little red hat, and other characters included spoons and a toothbrush, and more I'm forgetting. Sorry the description's so vague; it's all I remember about it, but I've been wondering what it was for years. Might anyone know what it is?

Got another one. There was a spider, and two kids - brother and sister. They went out and solved problems, and went to bed in the end. The one episode I remember was about an evil guy who fed cows chocolate to make chocolate milk, but it made the calves sick.
It was in the early nineties, and the spider was female and seemed to be really powerful or something.
I'd really like to know what this was, find the intro again if possible.

PLEASE PLEASE!
There was this animated... thing, I'm not sure if kid show or film, but more likely film. I remember a guy with shoulder-length black hair stealing some totem/vase/SOMETHING that contained evil spirits, or.. I don't know. It could possess anything, I think a whale was possessed at some point. There are scenes at the beginning, nighttime, some cave, some whales..
And there are kids. And some old guy that gets possessed at the end, I remember it being both scary and heartbreaking.
I think it's wintertime, I know there's snow/ice. And some pirates, too.
Please, guys, if you know anything... I really wanna see it again.

I saw an animated film on TV in the mid 1980s, may have been made earlier. The premise was a crew on a ship (like a sailing ship) that had masts that inflated and it flew up into space. Several of the crew members had special physical skills — one could see very far, one could hear well, I think another was very strong. They ended up somewhere (and got captured) that was inhabited by creatures that looked like rocks and wanted above all else to hear them laugh. I've searched all the keys to this I could think and found nothing.... thanks :)

Cartoon kind of like Toy Story, except the main character was a toothbrush, there were also slippers, and a pair of towels, one was a mom and one was a kid?
