openCartoon/Stop motion TV show
When I was little (early 2000s) I remember watching this cartoon about teenage kids who had to fight monsters in an alternative world to their own. They would go to school and had skip class to go hide in like hidden parts of their campus where they could enter these cells, connect and become part of this alternative world. There was one character who was really good at tech stuff and would sit behind the computer monitoring everyone's activity when they entered the other world and would rarely cross over into the other world. As soon as they would enter this world the show would go from cartoon to stop motion-like, and they would be fighting these robot-like creatures that seemed to be controlled by the game itself. I remember the title containing something like "kyono" in it but I'm not sure. one of the main characters who was supposed to represent the 'good' in the game and guide the kids in it would also go into these towers throughout to what seemed to be a way to save the game/kids from these monsters. please someone help!! been trying to find this title for ages! thanks
openYA Novel Literature
I read part of a young-adult novel as a kid, and haven't been able to find it again. The protagonist was a boy who encounters a circus where the tigers talk and one of the performers is an enslaved angel with clipped wings. I could have sworn it was called 'The Tiger's Boy', but I can't find it under that title.
openShort instrumental song I heard many years ago Music
Okay, I won’t be surprised if this one is impossible to figure out. I heard this song over 15 years ago on a cassette tape from a church basement. For all I know, it was a demo from the church’s group of musicians. However, I’m going to try my best to describe it on the off chance it was actually commercially released somewhere.
The song is a short instrumental, probably no longer than two to three minutes or so. It reminds me a lot of Nadia’s theme by Barry De Vorzon & Perry Botkin Jr., though a little more low key. It starts with a simple piano solo, then adds a soft acoustic guitar on top before moving onto a short flute solo. Then comes the chorus, which is mostly done by strings. Then after a brief guitar interlude again, it repeats from the flute part, going into the same string chorus. After that, it ends on the piano slowing down into a gentle stop.
Again, this song might not even exist anywhere except that cassette tape I found all those years ago, but if this sounds at all familiar to anyone, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.
openOld-ish cartoon? Film
I grew up in southern Europe, and I remember watching watching this doubled cartoon of a blonde girl who lived in the apartment with her cat, who finds a dog when she was leaving a party late one night. The dog was in a box, and the girl had a pink motorcycle. The dog was just a body for what was actually the soul of a prince, who leads her to go into a trip to save him, because he was trapped in a some sort of room in a corridor full of doors in a temple somewhere. I think the prince's name was either Shera, Shira or something around that family. I've been trying to Google a bunch of Clues to see if anything comes up but nothing.

openCbeebies cartoon
I used to watch this show on Cbeebies about a purple baby bear/monster. He lived with his mum who was also purple (or blue or violet) and his dad who was red I think. His uncle who was also red, visited him sometimes. The baby bear's friends were included a frog monster (?) and a duck?? I remember that in one episode, the bear lost his cup and everyone searched the whole house for it. Then he found it with his uncle. In another episode the bear was walking outside with his dad or uncle and asked why the moon was following them. The bear also had a stepstool to reach the bathroom sink. My friend and I searched everywhere (and by that I mean googled every possible detail) But we can't find it and it's driving me crazy!!! I'm starting to think it's like a Mandela effect or something because there's no proof that this show even existed.
openDisney XD/Teen Nick? Live Action TV
It was a show about a blonde boy who had travelled the world. In episodes he recalls things that had happened to him during his travels, such as one episode where he flashes back to his time spent with monks and he slows his heart rate.

openSchool based show where classmates are absorbed into the computer Live Action TV
The classmates are absorbed into the computer, I think it was a game or something but it was about history. It was a boy and a girl. One episode they were in an old jail cell but escaped and at the end jumped off a pier into water. I think the teacher or kids figured out what happened and they also went in to save them.

openKids Show I think? Live Action TV
There was a show that I believe had segments and in between there would be a picture that would start very unclear (different methods were different colors, lasers, etc.) and as the voice over spoke, the picture would be moving side to side, up and down, etc and getting more clear. At the end it would come into focus and tell you what you were looking at. Anyone remember that show? I believe it was the late 80's and it might have been on hbo.
openTrying to remember a TV show, probably from late 90's to mid 2000's Live Action TV
I am trying to remember a TV show I watched as a kid. I remember it being a supernatural show, the main character was a girl, I'm pretty sure, and I remember a few details from some episodes: 1. There was an episode where I think they were playing with a ouiji board, and the name Chad kept coming up for this girl. She looked at her high school records and there was no boy named Chad there. But then one day she is assigned to write a school paper on the country Chad. 2. There was an episode where her bother (maybe?) hits a golf ball through the neighbor window, and he doesn't tell anyone, and it began to haunt him, the window looked like it was an eyeball staring at him, and one night he hears a golf ball upstairs, it comes downstairs and rolls next to him, and it's an eyeball, and then hundreds of golf balls appears and he gets buried in them. He then realizes it was an illusion. 3. There was an episode where the girl is caught in a time loop, on vacation I think. The family stops at a quick stop, and this is the time loop part. Her mom goes to throw away trash, but the bag breaks. Her brother gets his foot caught on something, at the same time the RV loses its breaks and starts rolling backwards. They stop the RV before it runs him over in plenty of time. They leave the pit stop, start driving again, only to come upon the same pit stop and the same things happen. The events keep getting worse, with the RV getting closer and closer to running over the kid. That's all I can remember from the tv show. I've been racking my brain trying to remember what show it is but to no avail. Would love to finally stop trying to figure this out. Any ideas of what this TV show was?
openTv show where character is trying to remember stuff Live Action TV
I’m trying to remember the name of a tv show where one of the characters is trying to remember something (I know, it’s ironic.)
I’m pretty sure that whenever the character remembers something he/she always says the line “I remember something!”
I’m not even sure if this is a movie or a tv show because it’s been so long since I have seen it and I don’t remember anything apart from that.
Thanks!
openChildren's cartoon
This cartoon, if I remember correctly, mainly centered around an ocean environment. The only character or characters(besides dolphins and some kind of bird, possibly a pelican) was a little girl(there may have been other family members like a grandfather, etc.) and she lived on a tropical type island. I don't know how many episodes there may have been or even if there was more than one episode. The only other thing or things that I remember is that the little girl dived down to a shipwreck for some reason, there may have been another episode where some dolphins were trapped along shore and the girl was trying to save them. Also, one of the main things that I remember is the music, it had an almost eerie or longing type of feel to it, especially when the little girl was diving to the shipwreck. I'm not sure of the particular year that I watched it, just that it was more than likely between the early 70's to early 80's, I'm assuming. If anyone remembers this show and can tell me the name of it, then I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
openKid's Show from the Late 90s/Early 2000s Western Animation
My memory on this show is fuzzy, but the premise of the show was about two hippos - one mother hippo and her son named George. George in particular had a deep voice for his age (that, or he could also have been a Man Child). The two would learn Aesops in every episode and was a show more meant for younger kids.
openOlder made western showing turn of the century
I watched this movie when I was a kid in the 1970's, Im pretty sure it was in color...don't remember the main plot or the actor, but at the end of the movie, I distinctly remember this old cowboy that had a general store and a large well/water hole right in the line of the railroad, the train always had to stop as his water/well was the only one for miles, this gave him lots of business, but as turn of the century the railroad in that area was no longer used, horses came a thing of the past...cars started coming through...cars would stop by but did not need water, the old cowboy went broke watching technology ruin his business, at the end there were images of trains stopping by front of his store and this old cowboy was sitting in a rocking chair..., horse/carriage stopping, then early made steam cars, then model A's etc. End of movie. This may have even been a movie short or something, I don't remember anything else.
Edited by YonezawaopenPrincess has to fight her evil aunt Literature
I read this kid's book a while ago (not young kid, like juvenile fiction) about the youngest of four princesses. She's more or less normal, but no one cares because she's not going to be queen anyway. The middle sisters are twins. I think the eldest's name was Willow? Anyway, their aunt shows up and captures the king and queen (or something like that) and turns the oldest princess into a tree and the middle princess into swans. So the youngest one has to save them. She does and then her mother turns the aunt into a bug. It turns out that family has this white magic, but it is most powerful when all the sisters (of any generation) work together, so now the princesses have to do whatever magic the kingdom needs, but this is all found out in the conclusion, it doesn't go into them doing it. Also, the youngest princess tells everyone that she doesn't want to be queen after everything and they're all like, of course. You still have older sisters. The main character has red curly hair and maybe a temper? She's associated with fire, since her siblings are earth (the one that becomes a tree) and water and air (the two that became swans). The oldest princess is described as giving the impression of being taller then she actually is.
openMagic Purse Print Comic
I'm asking for a friend, so I don't know all the details, but there was a comic from 13+ years ago about a girl who got a magic purse filled with normal cosmetics that had magic properties. Any ideas?
open2000's hbo kids show about ghost hunting Live Action TV
so there was this show that always startedwith this guy talking about the contestants and the locationand there always two kids per episode and they had to draw straws whoever drew the shorter straw went in first while the other one waited in a van but what happened was they went into these haunted places and whichever kid staid inside the longest would go up a spot to the next person in the chalengeand at the end of each season there was a championship one episode i remeber took place at a lighthouse and the first kid left within the first five minutes
I have info on this show, but I need to know if there's anyway I could find more on it. It is on wikipedia for shows that aired on Teletoon, but it does not have its own proper page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_(2006_TV_series) and it of course aired in 2006. I also managed to use Wayback machine to the old teletoon site and found one of their flash games called "W- islands". The show features a funny looking boy with a large round nose, abnormally large feet and hands, red/burgundy coloured hair that sprouts from his head, a white tank top and orange shorts and he had a friend that was a seagull about the same size as the boy, but i dont think the seagull was very nice all the time.. and of course, they were trapped on an island together.. at least Im sure they were. I GOTTA find some more info on this show. I can't seem to find any videos, pictures, or anyone who knows what im talking about. The show was short and i'm not sure it played too often. I would compare it to the short shows such as "wild wild circus company" or "futz!". I HAVE A JOURNAL ENTRY ON THIS PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOT I HAVE ON THERE OF THE FLASH GAME: https://zimandchowder4evr.deviantart.com/journal/ANYBODY-REMEMBER-THIS-711828468
