Some wierd show where young women had magic cell phones or something. Western Animation
I remember there being an episode where they end up somewhere strange, find this little kid, protect the child for a bit, they get back to where they belong and the kid turns out to be evil, and I don't remember anything else about that show, other than a thing before the credits in every episode where they would use their magic on some guy for some unexplained reason, I hope someone tells me what this is called, because then it will stop bothering me.
kids 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
Old Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes Cartoon Western Animation
I remember an old black and white Merrie Melodies/Loony Tunes cartoon where one of its segments is about a doctor putting his arm on the microscope and then it zooms to the microscope where we can see a beach with what appears to be termites, creatures, etc having fun. Does anyone know the name of that episode?
Scooby Doo- Suspiciously similar to Zombie Island Western Animation
This is an episode or movie of Scooby-Doo my sister and I caught once. It seemed heavily inspired by Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, down to being in Louisiana, having zombies, having the same ferry man character with the same voice, and even some of the same music. Since I watched it I've never been able to find it; Google only directs me to Zombie Island. Any clue what this one could be?

Sax Playing Animal Character? Western Animation
Sorry this is vague but my friend and I got into a discussion about this, and it's bugging us that we can't remember. We're trying to find a 2D animated character (from a TV series or movie, we're not sure) that plays the saxophone or some sort of other woodwind or brass instrument. This character was an animal with a long snout (similar to Mr. Ratburn from Arthur or Brian from Family Guy). They also wore thick, black, round glasses OR round sunglasses. It's not Scat Cat, Louis from The Princess and The Frog, Lisa Simpson, or any of the aforementioned characters. It might be someone from Arthur?
Some weird alien show Western Animation
All I remember is that there was an alien family that lived in some kid's treehouse. It was traditionally animated and probably from 2007-ish. I know it's not Ready Jet Go!.
Fly or Mosquito in desert tired of work and routine Western Animation
This is an episode in a cartoon from the early or mid 90's. So I'm not sure if this was a mini side story in Rockos Modern Life or Ren and Stimpy; and maybe it was even it's own show. I don't really remember, but the tone and delivery of jokes was similar to those shows I mentioned. Im pretty sure it was on Nickelodeon, but I dunno.
So the episode I remember was about a fly(or mosquito) that lived in the desert and worked at a regular 9-5 job. One day he decides that he is tired of the routine. His routine was pretty much work, come home, watch tv, work, come home, watch tv. He just loses it. He is fed up with his life. And then... well and then I don't remember.
He was a pudgy, rotund fly, and his friend was a tall and slender fly.
In my searches Ive come across various shows with flies as protagonists, but I have not come across THESE flies(or mosquitos).
That episode really left an impression on me when I was a child, so I really want to find it and watch it and find out how it ended lol.
Odd On Demand Cartoon Western Animation
I remember watching this cartoon on the on demand feature of xfinity. It was about this kid who left his notebook on his desk at school, then returning the next day to find a message in it written by an unknown student. The student was supposedly a vampire who sat at the same desk during his school sessions at the same school but at night along with either other vampire students or a school with other monsters. This cartoon also had either very old looking animation or a sort of South Park-ish paper animation style. I remember finding this cartoon around 2010-2012. I thought the company who may have broadcasted it was Kabillion, but i haven't been able to find it on their website. I've stubbled upon this other cartoon called "School for Little Vampires", which for a while I thought was what I watched. But it wasn't close at all to what I remember. "Casper's Scare School" was another possibility, but I clearly remember it being 2D animated, not 3D. I've been looking for this for years with no luck.
Unknown Christmas Special (Cartoon) Western Animation
It was a Christmas special. Animated, 2d.
It was about a boy and a girl who lived in one of the more Southern states where snow is rare (I think they might have been in California?). Both of them really wanted to see a white Christmas, but their parents informed them that where they lived it probably wouldn’t happen.
Both of them wrote their letters to Santa and left them on the table for him to read on Christmas eve for some reason.
Sure enough, Santa arrives, but when he sees that they have asked for a white Christmas he is worried. He wakes them up and informs them that he is taking them to a magical land that I cannot remember the name of, but think was in the clouds. He tells them that his magic can’t give them what they want, but maybe someone in the magical land has the right kind of magic for it.
First, the kids ask Jack Frost, but he replies that he can only do frost, not snow. Both Jack and another character that I cannot really remember accompany the children on their journey.
Eventually, the children meet two old men who I think were named “The Wizards of Winter” The wizards agree to make it snow on Christmas day and the children are sent home.
The children wake up in the morning and enjoy Christmas morning outside with their parents, wondering if they dreamed the whole thing because there is no snow. As it turns out, the wizards just overslept. We see them casting a spell, which I think included the words “sun be cold!” The snow begins to fall, and the children get the white Christmas that they always wanted.
I saw this special a couple of times but cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. No one else seems to remember it either, and I can’t find any mention of it on the internet. Does anyone have any idea or even memory of this special? I grew up in Southern Ontario in Canada, if that helps.
some weird stop motion thing Western Animation
here's what I remember about it: the animation wasn't exactly stop motion. it was more like someone was manipulating the dolls (they looked like they were supposed to be oriental?) like a puppet. there was no effort to make it seem like they were actually talking, but it looked like someone was holding the legs of the dolls off-screen and was moving them to empathize what was being said and making them 'walk'. I think the theme song kept saying 'we are wind warriors'. and the only real scene I remember was this: character a: *says something about legendary warriors becoming immortalized in the stars* character b: am I one of those warriors? (something like that) character a: you most certainly are not! I saw it at night when I was like 8 or 9. I've been looking for it for years and I cant find anything about it. pleeeeeease let me know if you've seen something like this before. thanks!
shortfilm 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
No Title Western Animation
Early 21st Century cartoon about an alien girl who had to pretend to be human. Not Ready Jet Go.
Early 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?
Looking for a Popeye short... Western Animation
When I was eleven, I once watched a color Popeye short on Boomerang that I very much enjoy but now I can't seem to remember the name of it...
The short starts off with Olive Oyl running to Popeye with some newspaper and going "VAUDEVILLE'S MAKING A COMING BACK!" and then they dress up in some fancy stuff and they do some vaudeville-type stuff. That's all I could remember of that short, unfortunately. I haven't seen it ever since... :/

Christian 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
Cartoon with only music no talking? Western Animation
I owned this on video in the early 90's, probably between 1995-1999. I'm sure part of the video title was 'Volume II', the only part I remember was a cartoon of a chubby man who was stumbling around walking up a hill, then when it gets dark he gathers up some hay to sleep on. He has a dream about a pair of special boots and that he ends up wearing the boots and running away with a lady on a horse. I believe the animation was black and white and there was no talking in it, only music. I think it may have been a short episode from a collection possibly, or was part of another show.
I have googled so much but nothing- hopefully this rings a bell with someone.
A cartoon about animal kids who are taught by a tree. Western Animation
I can't remember much but there was this cartoon I used to watch about anthropomorphic animals living in some jungle-esque village and the children there, in human clothes were going to an outdoor school being with their teacher being a walking talking tree and his son.
I remember there being a squirell girl in a red jacket (I think), a fox boy, mouse twins, rat twins, an older mouse who wanted to be treated as a grown up one episode
2000's show from cartoon netwok or nickelodeon Western Animation
I asked about this show before in January, so I'm going to try again and attempt to be more specific about the show - or rather episode.
Okay, so I'm pretty sure it was a kids show, but it could have been an anime. It also could have been one of those shows they broadcast only after a certain time (because it's only for "older kids", ya know?).
It's only a single episode I remember, but during the episode a character (boy) is stuck in this universe, different from the one the show is set in. In this universe, there are these giant spider-like monsters. But the spider-monsters have human (woman??) faces and are actually people stuck in the spider body. (or something like that). Also, the monsters can teleport??
I remember the color scheme of the universe being mostly white and black, but there might have been some color. Also, the style of the show was similar to the original Teen Titans. (I swear if this is just an episode of Teen Titans that I'm vaguely remembering I will weep)

Thomas and Friends episode where Emily tries a pea Western Animation
When I was younger, I saw part of an episode of Thomas and Friends where a man told Emily to try a pea and she did. There's a clip of her chewing the pea here at 0:36. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S3TuwFniygw
Idk Western Animation
It’s a kids cartoon from the early 2000’s. Someone would like press a button or pull something on a mechanic switch panel and you’d go into a new scene. I think some were Halloween themed?

2D(?) Animation/Anime about people looking for water Western Animation
The only thing I remember from this animated film is that there is a group of people trying to find water, and they come across a very big building (which may or may not be levitating) and once they go in it they find large stores of water but there is also a spider-like machine creature that does not want the people to use the water sources so it tracks them down to try and kill them I presume.
I do not know when it was released, or whether it was strictly 2D animation or not. The machine might have had 3D aspects used for effect, but the rest was definitely in 2D. Can't remember anything else. Any help would be appreciated!
