openbrain box like tv show Live Action TV
i used to watch this tv show faithfully when i was younger but i just can't seem to remember it, all i do remember is that there was maybe a brain or a box falling from the sky and it plunges into the ground and you were able to see it going under and that was how the show always started, i think the show usually had these short musically skits that were animated in a dark creepy way but it was enjoyable for me, i just can't remember the name of this show
openWestern Animation Western Animation
Aired in the 2000's. Even became a Mc Donald's Happy Meal toys. From what I remember the show involved agents(?) who had vehicles and each character had a suit that was one colour. I think the black guy was red? I think it aired on Saturday mornings on ABC in Australia. Probably American.

openYoung adult American tv show starring two teenage girls Live Action TV
Does anyone remember the name of a TV show that played after school in the 1990s, possibly the 1980s, that was about two teenage girls and their lives growing up? It was either American or possibly Canadian. One girl was fair, blonde, feminine and trying to be popular, and the other friend was olive-skinned (possibly Italian) with dark curly hair and was a bit tomboyish. It had a feel like 'Degrassi' but, from what I remember, it was mostly just about the two girls. It had a lot of life lessons in it.
Edited by KayeopenFrog...bubble...shooter? Videogame
So you're this bipedal frog in a blue t-shirt spitting bubbles at spikeballs and cloud-like things while scaling a 2D-style platform ladder-type setup. Every (rather questionable) death animation was accompanied by some oddly-peaceful music.
Really frustrating, I hated it.
openBritish MTV-like late night host
I remember that the show I am thinking about came late at night after the "Fist of zen" show. It was a coked up white british dude with an afro and dressed in a blue'ish suit looking like an italian mobster from the 70's. Or just like austin powers with an afro basically. He did different sketches like funny commercials for insane products. Somehow they would all end up with him beating the shit out of someone and kicking them on the ground like in the goodfellas movie. I'm not sure if it was on MTV but I have been looking everywhere and I almost can't sleep. I need to find clips from this show again!
openChapter Book About Losing Teeth Literature
I had it when I was in second grade, so it could be from the early 2000's? I don't remember the main character's name but I remember the book revolved around her losing her teeth. She had an older sister named Penelope who wore lipstick and I think at one point they moved and she made a friend named Peggy. I remember the book had one part where they were making ice cream, and another where I think the main character knocked out a tooth and possibly swallowed it. I distinctly remember a bit of text where she thought her mom's mirror tasted like makeup.
openReally grinds my gears...
I somehow started looking into old tv series and films from when I was a kid. There is this one series, or film, that I just can't name.
I don't remember very much but it was kind of an anime style cartoon, with a squad of people. One of them was wielding a katana and another one like japanese fans. They had to fight against spider like things that were maybe droids, these spider droids had a weakness on their back which looked like a red target. The people hit here to kill them. I will get a braingasm if someone can help me remember. It aired in late 90s ~ early 2000s in Norway:S

openKid's Show Early 2000's Live Action TV
It was a show about four/five characters (They were people in animal-like pastel coloured suits?). I believe they would look for puzzle/jigsaw pieces. They had a TV (or computer) that they would enter tapes into and videos would play. One of the videos in an episode was about the wind and a girl. The wind was a boy and he loved a girl or something? Does anyone have any ideas?
I had it on tape/vhs or something, but my mum got rid of all of them.
Edited by Cats56openAn Anime movie about a girl and a digital world. Anime
So i remember seeing with my dad an western animation film or an anime movie (pretty sure it was an anime movie) long time ago, and for whatever reason some parts of it stucked to me. And now im trying to remember it and see it again. Here is what i remember: -The protagnist was a girl, she was a student i think. -it was set in the near future where small bot like tech exists, and are something like siri if i remember correctly. -virtual reality world exists, (similarly like Sword Art Online.) -the little bot thing that the girl has makes her an male avatar for her to try out the game, -i think she starts grinding levels so she can stand a chance against stronger enemies in the virtual reality game. -the girl sees an female figure and with her interaction with the figure the game i think. -at the end there is some virus and 1 or 2 users die or get in a coma because of it.
Thats all i remember, im sorry if its not enough or if my English is bad.
Edited by PootisBirbopenMovie Film
I only remember a few details from the movie.
It's live action (not a cartoon), there is an evil genie or jinn or some form of evil spirit/entity which can grant wishes. I can't fully remember but there may have been more than one of these characters in the movie. There are a few guys running away from these entities in some sort of forest/treeland area (I think). One of the guys are fat and asks the genie/jinn/entity to be lighter/thinner/have less weight on him (meaning to lose some of his weight/fat) the genie then grants the wish by tearing off his arms, ergo he became lighter/lost weight, etc. Hence the evil nature of the genie characters.
I cannot for the life of me remember any more about this movie, it might even be a TV episode in a series.
openKid with mustache
I remember watching this cartoon when I was little, sometime in the late 80s/early 90s. There was a grandfather/father telling a story to his grandkids/kids about a time he stayed in a haunted house and the kids picturing the story see him as a small child with a mustache because that's the only way they know him. I'm also pretty sure he was wearing blue and white striped pajamas in the story and there was a thunderstorm outside (you could see it through tall windows) and ghost flying around, and he was holding a flashlight. I vaguely remember that the animation wasn't great, almost like an older video game. As the kid was walking through the haunted house, it was like a super Mario game, in that he was walking along one single plane.

Edited by Alanahcopen80s? Animal puppet theater featuring a wishing well and a cave Film
When I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s I would rent this VHS tape over and over. It featured animal puppets or stuffed animals and real props. It was NOT Muppets or Lamb Chop. In the show, one of the animals wishes on a wishing well to be big. The other animal says "you should be happy with who you are" and tells him he won't be able to play in this really pretty cave nearby anymore because he'll be too big. But he makes his wish anyway and is so big his trampling causes rocks to fall while the other animal is playing in the cave and he gets trapped. So he has to wish to be small again to save his friend.
openBlue and Pink Spies?
There is this show from my childhood that I recently remembered, but don't know the name. I don't know all the specific details, but what I do know is that it was a 2D animated series with a guy in a blue jumpsuit and a girl in a pink jumpsuit, and they were spies I believe. One significant factor was that they had these belts with a red orb on it. Sorry if I'm not descriptive enough, it's so difficult to remember!
openSome anime my friend can't remember... Anime
Series in which the protagonist is able to see (with magic eye) creatures (some humanoid i believe) and joins a 'terrorist' group of them to combat more sinister ones. His sister is to some degree disabled and is featured reading a letter from the protagonist whilst looking out over a lake. I believe the city has been cut off from the rest of the world.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
openA book about dogs which are normal animals in daytime, funny animals at nighttime Literature
I remember this book a long time ago, but I can't remember its name. I wanted to add this as an example in Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag.
Yo! When I was a young kid, I remember watching an animated pilot on Cartoon Network. It was animated in 3-D CGI and it looked really good (at least, to me as a kid). It was an action cartoon and I recall it starring a band of young heroes or thieves or something. The main character I recall was a fairly small and slim guy, with a pale complexion. He used either swords or daggers, or at least some kind of bladed weapon in battle. His best friend was a huge guy who I think was a mechanic? The pilot had the two, and maybe other characters have a back and fourth that would lead into them having to team up to fight off monsters. During the fight, the main character starts to glow blue and destroys all the monsters and remarks about how he didn't know what that was.
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
