But the next day he was back in class with a huge scar on his neck. At the end they two students that did it were surprised to see him and asked if he was ok. He responded " well actually, i have had a bit of a sore throat" the had an evil laugh

openTwo kids and an elf/pixie/brownie Western Animation
I remember watching an episode of a show featuring two kids (a boy and a girl) and a magical creature (elf, maybe?) who travelled around on a cloud (or maybe a flying contraption). In the episode I watched, the elf(?) fell off their cloud(?) in an accident and the two kids went down into the town below to look for their friend. None of the inhabitants of the town had seen their friend, but they all mention seeing a snowflake fall from the sky. At the end of the episode, the kids are reunited with their friend who tells them that he turned himself into a snowflake while falling.
openTitle Unknown Western Animation
When I was living on a military base overseas in the early '80s, we got one English channel that was a mishmesh of various t.v. shows picked for us. There was one cartoon I remember vaguely about a wizard riding a train through space and a young man he brought along on the trip having lost his shoes on one of the worlds they visited. Unfortunately, I was four at the time, and don't remember much more than that.
openKids Educational Program Live Action TV
My brother and I remember a children's educational program (or it may have been a segment in a program) from the mid-late 80's, that we believe was on public television. The only part we remember is where a lady comes out from behind a tree to do crafts. She had a basket with craft supplies in it and always called her scissors "skissors"...(that's the part we remember the most) Beyond that, we have nothing!
openkids show with orange animal Western Animation
i remember it was a cartoon for very young children, but i barely remember anything but an orange weasel/cat type animal. there was some sort of song at the end of an episode at one point and he would sleep in a sort of curled up position. it had thick lines as if it was animated in flash. i don't remember anything else or if it was on a specific channel. there might have been more animals as i think there mightve been a blue creature or something sleeping next to him
openNo Title
I remember this cartoon from around the 1980's that had a large spaceship in it. The spaceship had a city on it. There was a group of space pilots that would get fly small ships that would protect the large ship/city. I remember that the large ship transformed into some kind if attack vessel but when it did transform some if the city got destroyed. In one episode I remember in one episode several main characters got captured and two of them kissed when the cell door opened because kissing made the aliens that captured them uncomfortable.
openNo Title Live Action TV
I'm trying to recall an old show my teacher played for us in my kindergarten class over 10 years ago. It was very strange and had never seen it before. I remember it being slightly disturbing.
I assume it was a children's show that could have been British for reasons ill explain in a moment.
All I recall is children sitting around as a woman appeared who had white face paint red clothing and what I think were paint brushes she had in place of fingers. I also recall her having a British accent hence my assumption that it was British. When she appeared her arms were crossed across her chest like you would see from a generic vampire rising from a casket. The children also seemed very excited that she was there as I believe she came to fix some kind of problem they had.
openClaymation about cow punching kid in face? Live Action TV
really really creepy. I remember watching what was probably a short film of some sort in which this clay cow breaks into this clay kid’s bedroom (i think?) and punches him in the face. At least the punch is seen from the kid’s perspective and the screen goes black. I’m probably not remembering everything correctly but god this has been bugging me for forever. definitely not something i should’ve been watching so young lol.
resolved Young Teens' Book About Race Around World Literature
An American (Californian?) middle school-age boy is drafted into a race around the world, alongside several other children, including a girl named Susie (or Sara or something) from the Seychelles. The racers are sponsored by wealthy royals from monarchies that no longer exist; the protagonist's sponsor was a sheikh/caliph/etc. from a country that was swallowed up by the desert. The losing sponsors had to relinquish their royal claims; the main villain, a poacher (from Europe?), would therefore lose his diplomatic immunity. The protagonist told his mother he was going to summer camp, first traveled on a bus across the US, crossed Russia by train, and, in accordance with game rules, was detained for a day in Japan after trying to enter a subway train without paying (alongside his white drifter companion). The race was titled something like "the Great Global Game", and the initialism was reused differently throughout the book. For example, the protagonist told his drifter friend that "It's the Great Goosey Game, and I've just been cooked." during said subway incident.
openNo Title Literature
Small panel talk show about books. I think it was called "booked" but not sure as can't find it on IMDB. British show. I think it was on channel 4 or BBC 2. usually, there were 4 around the table with 1 hosting. It had famous British actors, entertainers, etc. taking part. Once they discussed Tom Wolfe book and a play someone wanted to do about Bukowski. In one of the episodes, Rhona Camron took part.
openChildren's mystery series probably from the late 1980's/early 1990's Literature
Just remembered something I read when I was a lot younger. If it was new at the time I read it, it was probably published in the early to mid 1990's. I remember there being a couple of books in the series, the first of which was sort of a ghost story but the others were mysteries. One of the mystery ones I remember had this British (I think Irish or Welsh) sailor (I think) guy disguising himself as an Indian- presumably Sikh since I wore a turban, but I don't know how accurate the book was about that.
The two protagonists were a boy and a girl. Not sure if they were related or had a Toy Ship but in any event, I remember them getting off on the wrong foot initially and her being a tsundere.
openThis show
I’ve been trying to figure out what this show is, so this is what I remember: The beginning and end were live action The main icon was a leaf There were 3 main characters: a medium sized black haired kid, a girl, and a thin, tall kid. I think the main character shrinks down to enter the world, but all I know is the setting is a forest and everyone is small until the main person needs to head home
openA Quote from a Dream I Had
I had a dream last night, where I quoted something that sounded familiar, but I can't figure out where the full quite came from.
It goes something like "I'd...LOVE for you to hear the full story, just....don't let it be from me."
In the context of the scene, I was talking to a friend who had asked something about me, and I told them that there was a story behind it, but never got the chance to tell them what happened. I had to leave at the very end, and that's when I woke up.
Edited by IsaacBindingFullertonopenChristian show Western Animation
I'm pretty sure it was a really good 2-d animated show. It was about guardian angles fighting demons to stop temptation. I remember the main characters were two angles, one boy one girl, with the girl being more rational. Also, the guy rushed in to kill a demon that was tempting a kid into stealing candy, but when the demon died the kid stole anyways. God wanted to talk to him after that. There was also an airship to heaven. Thank you
openEarly 00s computer-animated TV series with monsters from another dimension in Pacific island Western Animation
I remember watching this show in Spain back in 2000-2005. It was about this young adult girl who lived with his (dad? grandpa?) in a house by this island's coast. There was also her friend / romantic interest who was a guy from the city (she had never left the island) who arrived by plane. The island had normal creatures, but there were also some sort of creatures from another dimension. These creatures looked sorta like murlocs, and while some where good most were evil. They had several variants (ones worked in groups and looked like they were made of glass?), and they could fire some sort of energy beams. The monsters came from a portal created by the villain, an evil scientist woman who wanted to harness the power of the other dimension. She could also transform into a large monster that could fly.
I have had no luck looking for it in lists of shows, either those which aired in Spain or by looking at channels individually.
Can anyone help this poor, desperate man?
openshortfilm about a scared dog Western Animation
Okay, so I've been searching for weeks and I just cannot find it (I'm starting to think I imagined it somehow). What I'm looking for is a short film (not movie-length but not part of a tv-show either) and I don't remember much but here is what I got:
-quite old (with color and audio but it was on a VHS and the animation-style matches the one in the 40s/50s) -the protagonist is a dog (st bernard??) -there is a mouse in his home that he doesn't know about and it scares him the whole time (no idea if the mouse did it on purpose or not)
-there is only one scene I really remember, the mouse somehow got stuck beneath a rubber glove and then some red sauce spilled on him (jam? ketchup?) and it looked like blood -the dog saw the glove and was terrified; when he ran away the "glove" chased him
I know it's not much to go on but maybe one of you knows what I'm looking for. I'm super desperate, any tip could help :D
openunknown cartoonish movie!! PLEASE HELP Film
This movie is old looking and cartoonish (animated). It’s in color, but it looks likes it’s made in the 1900’s. It is about animals , including pretty sure it’s mostly rats and mice. They are in battle and one side is super evil. The other side In this castle, and there’s some monk looking animal too. He is on the castle side. Hewears a brown robe. There are no humans in this movie. The animals are not exotic animals like lions or cheetahs. They look mostly like regular mice and rats. I think. It also takes place in a woody area. It’s not that well known of a movie. Thanks if you know it !! I Need to know the name of them movie!! Thanks!!
openFilm about living music box people? Film
I remember being shown this in our school music class in about second grade. It seemed like some made-for-TV affair centered around figures on a music box that came to life. I know the main guy was called Handy Man or something along those lines, and I remember being traumatized, as kids can be, by a scene where most of the people freeze up. I don't remember if there were full-size, human people interacting with the music box folk. I also remember a weird creepy house, but that may be from an entirely different film I watched in school.

I'm looking for a Soundcloud mashup, I remember that
In the lyrics, there was Soundcloud named, multiple people named at the end, the song where a black is getting stopped on the road because policemen believe every black carry drugs, and at the end there was a thank you message.
