openLooking for an anime or cartoon I saw it in English maybe 14 years ago. Western Animation
It was an old cartoon it involved a guy and a girl and they are in a world where games or challenged pop up and they have to join the game and win or else they get killed or I think displaced from their current location. I remember the guy entering a game like tekken and fighting different bosses and loses to the final boss.

openCARTOON ABOUT A LITTLE SAFARI GIRL Western Animation
I have in my head a cartoon I used to watch. I can't remember if it was movie length or not, but it was about a little girl in a safari outfit who had a little adventure, befriending a bunch of talking animals. Then, at the end of it, a lion eats her and the rest of the animals act very disappointed in the lion. In fact, I think the lion eating her might've even been off screen, but I can't really remember. That's as much of it as I recall, I don't remember what happens next, or if that's just how it ends. Does anyone know the cartoon I'm talking about? I have been racking my brain on it for years, it's killing me.
openKids/Teen TV show about Indian family 2000-2010s era possibly British Live Action TV
Does anybody know about a show that aired in the late 2000s to early 2010s about an Indian family with a male lead likely British, it aired in Australia as well and the only episode I remember was about the importance of healthy eating where the main character tries to get his family to eat healthy (and non-Indian) food in order to win a competition, his family react badly to the idea. His father eats food out of the bin and he introduces bland healthy food before appealing to his neighbours for help and they make sushi. The episode ends with the wrong tape being sent in and it showing all of his families failed attempts to eat healthy. It's not much to go on but it was an okay show and I would very much appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanks
openHigh Heart Rate Live Action TV
All I remember is a show where the MC has a heart condition that he/she (think it was he) took medication for, but the high heart rate was some kind of ability that the character needed to learn to use.
openShort Christmas Film Film
I believe it was a special on Christmas Day, a few years ago and I watched it in the UK. I kinda want to find it again because of how tragic it was. I can't remember what channel is what sadly. It first started out sort of like a 3D animation, with a daughter, grandfather and mother I think in the garden and maybe putting out clothes on the peg line? I think the grandfather was trying to tell his granddaughter a story and the mother butted in with her own one. It then changed to a 2D animation as she told the story. It was of a poor, old man who didn't have a lot. There was this man, who was in some ways, rich and treated him not so well. It was around christmas in this story as well. The rich man's daughter was dreadfully ill and the doctor was out of town. The old man, poor decided to walk all the way there (in bare feet) as the snow and wind came his way. He found the doctor and let him know of the girls illness. The doctor asked him if he wanted to ride on his horse with him, but the man declined and started to walk back again. The weather was getting worse and he fell off the road/cliff and died. When it came to his funeral, the rich man wanted to take one side of the coffin, stating that he was a good friend of his. (lies) Anyway thats all I remember.
openAN ANIMATED SHOW
So I've got this show stuck in my head and I was hoping you could help me out. Thanks in advance. It starts every episode off with a carriage ride, which has two young children (a boy and girl) and a man in all black telling them a story. It then goes onto a completely new story from the last, usually parodying old fairy tales. A few that I remember are the toy soldier's story, a story about a tree that gets cut down and then burned later on, the jumping (or dancing) flea and a story about a wine bottle (something like that). It was a 2D animated show from around the 2008's and in Australia. And thanks again :D

openA cartoon fable Western Animation
Hi guys. Years ago i saw this cartoon (not CGI), it was a beautiful fable but I don't know the who draw it. Here's the plot, I remember the whole thing: A young man wander in a church at night and there he sees two ugly mugs trying to pry open a coffin: he asks what they were doing and the criminals tell him that the dead inside was someone who owed them a lot of money, so they will take everything valuable is still on his corpse. Out of pity the boy give them the satchel with all of his money to compensate the robbers. In the morning he meets a tall stranger with a goatee that become his traveling companion. He seems to be some sort of warlock because, seeing a dead swan, he states that while he cannot help the creature there is still something he can do, and make the corpse disappear leaving only its wings (then he takes the wings and puts them away); later he repairs a tiny puppet that represent a princess with a salve that even makes the marionette become alive. The two arrive at a castle where the boy fall in love with the princess, a girl with black hair and a cold stare: indeed the old king himself warns the boy that his daughter is cruel and merciless, and that she executes all the pretenders who don't pass her trial (guessing what she is thinking). Nevertheless the young man is determined to complete this quest and the king, accepting his will, gazes sadly from a window a large field behind the castle, completely covered by the tombstones of the killed pretenders. Long story short: the stranger use the swan's wings to follow the princess and discovers that she is mind-controlled by an evil troll (the monster looks like a tall and muscular greenskin orc) that tells her an item for the pretenders to guess. Thanks to the stranger the boy wins two of the three trials, so the enraged troll orders the princess to think of the troll's own head: she departs and the stranger approaches the monster, unsheating a sword and grinning. The next day the boy give to the princess a burlap sack with the troll's head inside, winning the last trial and breaking the spell. So the stranger congratulates the couple and bids farewell to the boy, revealing to be the grateful spirit of the man inside the coffin and than vanishing.

Bear with me. You know that kids show with real people (and possibly cartoon backgrounds like Lazytown), where the main guy was white with black hair (I think) and he would do this thing where he put his pointer and middle finger beside eachother and curl down the other fingers on each hand. And then use those two to make a plus sign. And then he would teleport into a TV or something. There was a vine about what it would be like today where the guy goes into a music video. Help, please.
