openFace-Changing Advert
I'm looking for an old advert I used to watch. It had a man in a black jumper change his face, literally, by repeatedly ripping it off, before going back to his original face.

openChinese or Korean animated film
Okay I forgot its title, but I remember some events that happened in the movie. I was a child when I last saw this film. At the beginning, it has a goldfish in it, I think it's showing different locations with different colors while narrating, it has the voice of a child. Then there's an orange or red-haired female character running and then she saw a lost child, so she gave her paddle ball so she doesn't cry. It was war, I think, because there are planes flying and bombs dropping and the people's only chance was to get on this very big ship. The female lead then met a guy and then the three of them went in side the ship which has different places the Earth once had. She got to this grassy place then another one, every door is another place. The kid's name is Moon something, all the characters have very weird names like two stuff combined. The kid is looking for her mother but there are weird monsters attacking them, then in the end, the female lead realized she's dead, along with the kid, and she's a star who guides them.
openA sprout to show I think
I used to watch this show on pbs sprout, I think. With the little talking flower in the corner. But the cartoon was two little kids, one girl and one boy. They always talked to this machine, like a tv or a computer and it was magic I think. It is a baby show and I don't think it is airing anymore. It might not be sprout but it is a cartoon and a baby show. HELP
openGirl With Big Teeth Western Animation
I remember a show (sometime between 2000-2010) that had a girl with a really big, unrealistic overbite. I think she had red hair and was tall/lanky. The only other thing I remember from this show was her walking a dog down the street. It's killing me that I can't remember the name!
openMiguzi Announcer Guy Name?
I'm trying to figure out who this guy is, he's narrated a lot of Mizugi promos, here's a link to one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o92JlO9TwY
openEerie live-action TV show? Live Action TV
So it's this live-action show that sorta reminded me of The Addams Family but it was in colour. There was this gothic-style mansion; its design was sorta fancy and with a lot of black and grey. And there were visitors (maybe a couple with a child, or just a couple, there were definitely more than one) who were scared when an old lady in a black dress (who looked kinda witchy) showed them a smoking skull while chanting. There was one lady who was an Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette with a black dress on, a man in a suit, and a bunch of others who were wearing sort of formal, gothic clothing. And those guys were sort of friendly and intimidating at the same time. Again, it reminded me of The Addams Family, but it was in colour and I can't remember any specific characters or plot points, nor do I remember anything that specifically correlates to the Addams Family (like I don't remember a butler called Lurch or anything like that). That's all I remember.
openNetflix tv show Film
There was a show on Netflix back in 2014 I believe where there were different scenarios, like different people going about their business and such. It was dark, and mysterious. They would show how they would live their lives but somehow they all had some type of connection, from knowing one another to living in the same building. At the end one of them would die and it would always be unexpected. I think every episode would should a new cast. I believe in one episode there was this girl who was either a prostitue who went to meet up with a guy and ended up being killed or she was in her room of a building and her window was opened and she was changing and this guy from across was starring and I think she gets killed. I don't rememebr much but it was soooo good :((( if anyone knows of this plssss
openHallmark or Disney Channel Movie Maybe? Film
I'm looking for a movie about a boy, I think his name is Bobby? Anyway the kid is dealing with being bullied and makes a new friend, a girl, who helps him with a nosebleed. I think they eventually make up with the bully. I also think there was a scene where he sees some sort of horse out of a bus window that no one else sees?
The kid also gets mixed up with some sort of criminals, gold was involved I think, and takes comfort in the spirit of his dead father. The criminals were two men, I think one of them is depicted as mentally challenged?
Based on the premise, I think it may have been a Lifetime or Hallmark movie from the late 90s early 2000s. There is a Hummer in one scene so it had to have been made after 1992. Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's driving me crazy that I can't find this.
Edited by scoobydoodlesopencell beach???
I can remember during sex ed in 4th grade, we watched this vhs tape about AIDS. I can remember a segment of the tape being a stop motion animated segment that I THINK was called Cell Beach; it mustve been some years old, I can remember the graphics of the film looking pretty dated (and also kind of dark/shadowed). It was about the Helper T cells and the Commander T cells and those kind of cells being attacked by the HIV virus if i remember correctly. I also believe the Commander T cells were portrayed as life guards? idk. I've searched for this stop motion animated segment EVERYWHERE, but I've never been able to find it. If someone knows where I can find it, please tell me.
openNo Title Literature
A REALLY old Sonic The Hedgehog fanfic I read around 2002 or 2003. I don't remember any plot but there was one OC that really stood out to me, an adorable ferret named Ty. He was very clumsy, a bit of a Butt-Monkey and other characters called him things like idiot and airhead. I remember one scene where he got injured on a skateboard or roller skates. He was more or less a comic relief Woobie character. In a later chapter, he finally got mad and stood up for himself so another character commented that he might have a backbone and is not spineless after all. The fanfic was fairly close to the Sat AM type of Sonic universe.
openBritish musical educational film about paper
At some point between 2005 and 2007, my class watched a live-action educational film about the uses of paper. I distinctly remember one musical scene set in a house, in which the youngest child in the featured family ripped up and attempted to flush a Thomas the Tank Engine magazine down the toilet. The song playing was sung by a male, probably middle-aged, with a chorus of "paper, paper, hey hey hey!" I believe this was part of a series on materials because I recall watching one about plastic another time. That one featured LEGOLAND Windsor for a scene.
I'd appreciate if anyone could locate either of these although just the paper one alone would be fantastic.
openThe name of the show is "mouse house"
I know the name of the show is "Mouse House", and it's an episodic stop-motion children's show of British (or maybe Australian) mice living in a house together. It's from the 90's I believe, but could be from the very early 2000's. I remember it pretty well and even remember the theme song. But any time I try to Google-search it, all I can get is results for Disney's "House Of Mouse". I can't find a single thing on it because of that and it's really frustrating.
openAlternate universe? Western Animation

openAsian Girl, Fuzzy Hat, Spear, Stairs Anime
An old animated TV show with a little Asian girl in a fuzzy hat who runs up the stairs with a boy who she gets along with very well and they both have spears.
openI know the name but I can't find it on Tv Tropes Literature
It was a series, of which I read the first two. The first book was called Black and White, and the second was called Shades of Grey. It was a superhero setting where all powers could be classified as Shadow-based, Light-based, or Mind-based. It was widely known within the hero community that everyone with Shadow powers would eventually be driven crazy by their abilities. Every child who manifested abilities was sent to a special school, and anyone who protested or showed signs of going villain was taken away and brainwashed by the mental abilities department. The first story follows a second-generation, Dark-classified heroine who went by Jet. Her mentor figure goes crazy and tries to use her powers to devour all light in the world. The second book shows the heroes trying to break free of all the brainwashing and finding out who's kidnapping powered children. I read this a long time ago, but cannot find it anywhere.
openSome kind of anime or cartoon involving defective robots in one episode Anime
It was anime episode with a stereotypical group of kids investigating an old laboratory where they find piles of cogs and machinery, and it turns out that they are the remains of defective robots which suddenly begin shimmering and vanish into those piles. I recall an image where there are robots lining up, a few flickering into rusty machinery, and brought into a crushing room where scientists destroy them due to being defective. I recall them showing a robot being crushed while screaming Nooooooo! I think they made friends with some robot, then there's a huge gap in my memory. Anyway, they find themselves in a plateau surrounded by robots, the one they made friends with then flickers and vanishes into a small pile of machinery. They then walk away really depressed, but then suddenly they (for either a reason I don't remember or absolutely no reason) they begin laughing and run cheerfully away. I think it might have involved magical animal trainers, maybe not. I recall absolutely loathing this show and avoiding every airing episode like it was the freaking plague.
So there is some Old TV show/Movie that I want to locate, it has some kind of hooker's that got ripped off from an Cheap John of some sort. I have a video that indicated that it's probably an old TV series/Movie and this specific version of the video is dubbed from some other language, maybe french? maybe german? I don't know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54WotdCIlSU Can someone give me an hand? (:
