Numbered supersoldiers Western Animation
The show had these kids with powers that were activated by biting a chip that was implanted in their teeth. I think the characters were given numbers for names. It is even possible it was an anime, but I cannot remember. I've been trying to remember forever, but its hard to remember the details.

Name of animation show to do with an amulet Western Animation
(unsure where and how to post this in specific places) Medieval world where everyone has a unique superpower, a bit like boku no hero. Main character, a boy with black hair with couple of red stripes, wears red attire and has forging abilities but then finds an amulet with 3 abilities: a shield and sword, wings and something to do with time. He has two sisters, one which looks like a female him I forgot her ability but she uses a stick as a weapon , another who has blonde hair and wears blue things, she an apothecary. They live in with their grandfather. They also have a troll friend who is like a milk chocolate brown and is enchanted so he wont attack them and is friends with them. Main villain had a name like thanatos or thanos but I am not very sure and has the ability to teleport.
Some episodes I remember: One where the villain's base (a castle on a giant dragon's back) the dragon is sick r something and they need the tear of some elder dragon and so do the protags for something else. The troll goes to their home with the protags to fight his brother who is not very supportive with the idea of him being friends with humans. somethings happen and the twin sister and troll use a type of pepper to make the entire troll place go to sleep. The antag and protag are trapped in a limbo with a colossal titan and need to coop to find a way out, only ending up the villain double-crossing him.
Kids in a submarine? (Not Little Einstein's) Western Animation
I used to watch this cartoon show when i was young, it's similar to Little Einstein's but these kids are out at sea in this like 'castle-like' place and whenever there's trouble they'll look into a telescope or something before loading onto a submarine and launching into the sea and going to the island to save whoever was in trouble. I just can't seem to remember the name. Anyone? :)
a weird cartoon Western Animation
it's a show that used to air on the french teletoon, it talks about a group of 3 people, 2 sisters and 1 friend, that went on a vacation camp with the sisters' parents, then when they slept in their tent they got teleported into another world, the plot revolves around these 3 people trying to find their way back, they end up doing that when they find an old man who tells them how to go back, and it's the same way they got in; by sleeping in their tent again. the show sees many unnatural creatures such as dwarfs, flying pigs, genies in soda cans, a kingdom that values fashion above all else and a town that had it's main popular singer who gets outplayed by the sisters when they steal his spotlight by mistake when the older one tries to cheer up the young one by tickling her, making her giggles and laughter a music the people of this town apparently likes. and as i typed that last sentence i just realized how silly and weird that cartoon was.

Traveling cartoon Western Animation
I'm trying to remember the name of this cartoon that I saw on cartoon network, it was about these three siblings, two girls and one boy, where they were camping with their family and the next morning after sleeping in their tent they somehow find themselves in a different world, they try many places that could help them get back home, the oldest sibling carried a diary or a journal, some of the places that they went too included a tribe of small blue gnome, a rock village with Stone golems, pandas who stole fairy wings but gave them back after getting different shades of color.
flying balls? Western Animation
i watched this probably 6 to 8 years ago. It had some weird balls with helicopter propellars who lived inside a volcano i think. then they would get a mission of some kind every episode, and they'd all fly out the top of their volcano. i think their purpose might have been to save the environment or jungle or something, but i can't really remember
Cartoon Show Western Animation
I watched this show nonstop when I was young. It was about 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 girl. They would go on missions and they would each have 3 different monsters/creatures they would be able to transform into during the mission. There was also tournaments, where the kids fought against others.
Name of cartoon similar to Thundercats.(solved) Western Animation
I remember about the same time as the original Thundercats came out that there was a very similar cartoon which I could tell was either by the same people or a rip off of it. Similar team make up, and similar sounding voices. The only other similar cartoon I've found is Silverhawks, but unless I'm just remembering one episode I don't think that's it. The team lived on a floating base on a water world and when they had to go on missions they would dive through a ring that would change their legs into a tail like a mermaid so they could swim underwater. Anyone know what it was called?
Never mind. I Suddenly recalled it was called tiger sharks.

Animated show Western Animation
I don't remember much of the things that were in there, but I do know that: it was an animated cartoon, there was an episode that happened in winter and I think the characters went skiing? not sure about that... Also, in that episode, they went into a wooden house that had a slide hidden under the floor and the main cast triggered some trap that activated it and I'm pretty sure that one of antagonists made an appearance there. In another episode, the plot had something to do with gravity and/or electricity, not sure which one. Any idea what show that could be?

90's CGI Showcase Western Animation
There was a showcase of a bunch of CGI shorts we saw in art class when I was in the 7th grade, but I can't figure out its name. It is not The Mind's Eye or Eye Drops.
I can only remember two shorts on it. One of them is a music video for the Pet Shop Boys. The other one, the final one, is about two CGI humans protesting their creator about having to say random phrases without understanding what they mean. The creator finds out he is a CGI human too and discovers he can morph into other people as he feels like.

Help me please! Western Animation
I’ve been looking for this kids tv show about dogs and cats. It’s animated and I’m pretty sure it’s newer. There’s a girl who can talk to them and I think the main dogs name is magic. There’s magic in the show and I can’t remember the name. I don’t remember much else about it tho. The main dog had brown fur
Help With French Animated Children's Show? (SOLVED) Western Animation
I remember watching this as a kid and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what it was called. I'm pretty sure it was an animated children's show set in Paris but the show wasn't actually in French, and the main characters were two (also French) anthropomorphic dogs. One of them had white fur and the other one was either dark blue or black, they seemed to be children as far as I know. I recall this one episode specifically with them building a blanket fort and saying something about "fish fingers and apple slices". Any help would be highly appreciated.

Looking for a cartoon episode with a father/son duck hunting scene, probably from Ned's Newt Western Animation
I remember this one scene in what I'm pretty sure was a Ned's Newt episode, where Ned is going duck hunting or something of the sort with his dad. His dad wants to show him his hunting tricks and tries to hide from the ducks in a pond with what I think was a reed snorkel. He fails of course. It's not the father's day episode of Ned's Newt btw, I checked. Would really appreciate any hints, not knowing the name of the episode is bugging the hell outta me.
No more fairy tales Western Animation
A Western animation that looked either Canadian or Australian about the daughter of the Tooth Fairy, the nephew of Merlin and the son of the Jack and the Beanstalk giant (who’s normal person sized) at a (middle)school named No more fairy tales with the rest of descendants of fairy tale characters (Little Red Riding Hood, Pinnochio and another guys). Magic wands work like phones there (having wi-fi), I think.

Show where they have to buy back dogs from a bully? Western Animation
It was an animated film or (more likely) tv special where a group of kids went to a mall, only for one girl to discover two of her puppies have hidden in her bag. They escape and are caught by a bully-type who demands a ransom for them back (threatening to sell them) so the kids have to raise the money. They succeed but I think he doesn't want to accept the cash so they have to stand up to him.

classic cartoon from 30s Western Animation
I've been looking for a classic old cartoon probably from the 30s/40s. I don't remember if it's black and white or coloured. The plot is about a little boy who I guess comes over to someone's house, but the little girl who lives there is very rude and when they go to shake each other's hands, she pulls her hand back. She does some mean things to the boy, and from what I remember I think she gets what she deserves (karma). i think it was the little boy who was scaring her, and then they become friends at the end. There was a scene with a piano and fish I think. It has the same animation style as the cartoon "boy meets dog" from 1938. This has been bothering me for so long now and i'd appreciate any help! Thanks!
Which Teen Titans Go! episode had this? Western Animation

80s-90s Angels Christmas Cartoon Western Animation
I am searching for an 80s or 90s children's cartoon about angels. All I can remember is there was a little blonde angel named Alexander who couldn't do anything right. I'm pretty sure he earns his wings at the end, and it was probably something Christmas related.
Awful-looking animated Christmas special Western Animation
I haven't seen this before, I just walked in while it was airing on television and want to know what it was. It was really crappy-looking animation with creepy "cute" elves (the closest-looking thing I can think of is The Christmas Tree) and the scene I saw was a musical number at the North Pole by the elves. At the end, Mrs. Claus wished Santa a merry Christmas before a commercial came on. It felt like the very end of the special, but I don't know, as I had to leave and didn't stay past the commercial break to find out.
Old Cartoon Western Animation
There was this cartoon that I remember watching when I was younger. I've literally been trying to look for it for about a year and have absolutely no luck. From what I remember, the cartoon was about a girl who lived in a city in an apartment building. The girl had pink hair that was kind of long and it swirled at the end. It all looked drawn. I've made a post about this before and it wasn't Pinky Dinky Doo, Hihi Puffy Amiyumi, Adventure Time, Trollz, or an Erin Esurance Commercial. It seemed like something that might've been on Nickelodeon. I don't think it was even Western Animation or Anime/Manga style. I swear it was real, but it is definitely possible that it was something I may have came up with on my own as a child. Please help me I've been trying to figure this out for way too long.

Space Cartoon with Female Protagonist and some sorta sidekick Western Animation
I honestly have such vague memories of this show so bear with me.
I believe it's set in space with aliens? the protag was female and thats the only sure thing I remember. She had a sidekick that had weird powers, but I don't know what it looked like, maybe like some weird animal-alien thing? It was always getting her into trouble or something like that.
I remember one episode a guy falls into a blackhole? Another episode where the animal-alien thing had the ability to teleport things if he ate them, and so they were being chased and he ended up eating the protag and then somehow himself to escape?
A 60's short animation about a trial against cars Western Animation
Hello, i need Tv Trope's help again to find an old short animated film that i used to see on cable television when i was younger. Here it is, it was an old short animation, in UPA style if i'm remembering well. Basicly, cars where put on trial (in a courtroom) for being polluting, noisy dangerous things. The trial goes utile the lawyer representing cars point out that most of the things cars are accused to do are actualy the drivers faults. The short end when the lawyer says that everybody's guilty in that case, except cars. That's pretty much it, thank you for your help
Doctor wearing a large coat Western Animation
On a Discord chat I'm one someone recently bought online what appears to be a storyboard sketch from some old cartoon. The sketch shows an apparently fat character (labeled as "Doctor XXX") entering through a door and taking off his coat, revealing it's actually very thin underneath. Any clue? Here is the pic
