Find a Show:
openCartoon about a magic phone Western Animation
I was at a cousin's house and I saw a cartoon about a boy and a girl who had this magic cellphone that could take them to other worlds or something. Sorry about how vague this is, I can't remember much.
openTrying to find a cartoon Western Animation
I think it was relatively recent, about 2010 or so. The show was something about a frog who turned into a Hulk-like monster, and something about a psycho cat with weapons. I saw it a few years ago, but I can't remember much about it, Does anyone know what show this is?
open90's 2000's Cartoon Western Animation
Can you help me find a cartoon, I barely remember it but the art style was really different from other shows, it looked like it was drawn with crayons and it looked fairly cheap. The main character was a girl i believe super simply drawn and her best friend was an African American guy. I remember watching it in the early 2000's in canada but it might of been an older show
open2000s Anime Anime
It is an anime that was dubbed in English and aired roughly 2000-2004 in New Zealand, so the anime itself may be anywhere from 1995-2004.
I remember one scene in which there were half destroyed buildings (typical skyscraper concrete rubble), and the main character seems to get their power from cards that go into a slot on their upper torso. In this one scene, despite warnings from other characters, a corrupted black card enters the main character and he transforms into a darker version of himself and I seem to recall he has black armor.
It will be appreciated if anyone has any inkling of what this might be as I've searched through the archive on myanimelist with no success and it's been nagging me. Thank you!
openHelp Western Animation
A cartoon in which a girl finds a talking stone and goes to fight a dragon I can't give you any more info cuz my little brother is asking for it not me And he said that cartoon is from 90s or early 2000s
openAnime with a dark haired guy that had a pink haired girl on his head
It was an old anime i watched in locomotion forever ago when i was a kid. The protag was a dark haired guy with a pink haired chick on his head that was sorta like a cop. Sometimes the chick came out of his head, or the guy transformed, and helped him. At one point they fought a formless blob monster like the one in akira
openKids Tv Show (Ballerina)
Basically there is this girl (pretty sure she’s an orphan) who wants to be a ballerina. I think she had her mothers ballerina shoes too. There is also this creepy man who has a hat and a cane with a jewel on it I think, who follows her. In one of the episodes, if I remember correctly, she was working at a restaurant and was peeling potatoes. Also the show is not set in modern days, but I can’t recall in what year it was... I have no idea what this show is called, but I think it starts with L, something like lulu or lou but I am not sure...

openROALD DAHL STORY Literature
I read this in my library, but it was one of those "for sale" books. It was a collection of Roald Dahl stories, perhaps stories from writers similar to him, for young readers. I remember reading this around 2006, but I think the story was from the 60s-80s when Roald Dahl was still pretty popular. All I remember was a circus. A child, I think it was a boy (maybe girl) was eating cotton candy, or perhaps something minty, and he/she felt as if his/her head was flying, maybe it was spinning. That is all I can remember, does anyone know what I am talking about? Thanks.
openUnusual Deaths Live Action TV
An American tv show I only ever caught one episode of. Mainly focused on unusual or strange deaths/accidents but was very stylised in how it was shot. Main narrator to the show looked like John Waters and told the story of each death/murder/accident. The episode I saw featured a story on a man who died in a motorcycle accident and his parents were suspected of killing him and he was found to be buried alive in a coma, then another story about a lady staging a barn fire (to maybe hide a murder) and she pulled her own teeth out to fake her own death.
openChildren's show
I have been trying to find the name of this show for a very long time. All I can remember is there's a woman who has all these pet dogs living in her house (they're puppets) and they have a globe they spin and learn about different countries and at the end of the episode one of the dogs writes about what happened in his diary.

He had a guardian girlfriend - she was bald and had just a blonde ponytail with cyborg arm, and they also had a friend who was like rhino humanoid or something. Does anone know please? :))

openLive action TV show from the early 80's/85 or so - metal lizard statues, gemstone encrusted Live Action TV
Hi,
This was possibly set in Australia or somewhere exotic...a bunch of kids following some old man around, going on adventures, hunting down gemstone encrusted metal lizard statues...
openKids show/movie
It starts our with sibling's( they aren't animated), a boy and a girl, going up to an attic and they find old dusty books. They open them up and they are magical books, shiny/sparkling dust comes out and the story projects from the book. And then the story is animation, and the kids narrate/comment through out the story. Pretty sure one story is the ugly duckling. And then they end with closing the book and rushing downstairs because someone called them downstairs.
My siblings and I can't figure out and it's really starting to bother us! I'm sure this is a 80s/90s show!
What game is shown at the beginning of this video please? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQTKvab7HQQ
