openCartoon about grandpa who dies and comes to life?
So there's a teenage boy and his grandfather keeps supposedly dying in the hospital and then coming back to life (I remember a nurse saying "he has no pulse".) and then I remember vividly this line said by the boy.
- "Grandpa, why don't you let go into the light? The light is good! Grandpa...why don't you die?"
openFamily comedy about young man living with a family Live Action TV
My wife and I seem to (vaguely) remember this Family TV Comedy, about an "fish-out-of-water" young man (small, dark hair) living with a rich family (We are not sure if he was working for the Dad - or if he was tutoring the kids?) - funny how memory works. It was really funny and witty (but that is probably all tv comedies ;-)). We were confused and thought that either the character or creator's last name was Schwartz (we looked it up - not sure why we thought that - because we found no connection). Thanks!
openCare Bears.. non-existent sequel? Film
I searched in the Care Bears page and none of the sequels listed is the one I need. Listen. It starts with a father telling his sons a story. It ends with the same dad saying "they always fall asleep before the final" and then a zoom on the window, to see the bears in a cloud car.. Could or not involve a kid seeing something terryrifing in the middle. I'm not sure
openTarzan Web Game Videogame
I asked about this a couple years ago, but I'm hoping someone will know the answer this time around.
In the late 1990s/early 2000s, I played a lot of flash games on Disney's website. One of them was a Tarzan game. It was a platformer, and a 2D sidescroller. You had to climb vines, jump between vines and platforms, and I'm pretty sure there were enemies, but I don't remember how you fought them. The game had levels, but I don't remember if it was timed. I do know the levels were fairly large.
I've tried to look for an archive/link of this game, or even pictures, for the nostalgia. Unfortunately I don't know the name, and "Tarzan web game" is too vague. Does anyone remember this game? What it was called, or any more specific details that could help someone else remember? Thanks!
openDS Zombie Game Videogame
I remember a DS game I used to play. It was a side scroller where you were a zombie hunter attacking zombies with weapons that had limited ammo/uses, like a shotgun or a whip. Other than that, it camd out in or before 2009, it was rated E10+, it had a cartoonish but dark art style, and the first boss was supposed to be a zombified version of Whispy Woods from Kirby. Any ideas?

openSeries Thats like Pokémon but with amulets Webcomic
About a 16/17 yo boy with an amulet around his neck from which he could summon a creature like in Pokémon. there was another head character, older, man and pretty sure the name of the show had to do with his name or how the creatures were called. it took mainly place in Prague I think.

I've watched so many more recent Frankenstein movies now, I'm just curious, which is the first movie in which the creator shouts: "Live! Live! LIIIIIIIIIVE!"
openDisney show starring a green alien Western Animation
It was released sometime in the early 2000s and the main character, I think, is a green alien in a red-and-white striped shirt.
openFuture mech anime where the ocean is pink Anime
My brother let me watch it around 2008 though I'm not sure when it actually came out.
-The sea was pink because of some kind of chemical reaction or natural disaster that altered its colour. In one scene a character commented on it ("I can't believe the ocean actually used to be BLUE.")
-There were solar panels everywhere? Like, there was a scene where the sun was coming up and all these solar panels were activated and started facing towards the sun.
-In one scene there were a bunch of people eating a meal and one said "It's not bad for 99% artificial beef!" and the guy who made it said "yeah, you just have to cook it right."
-Angels are evil.
-There were giant robots.
-There was some girl (I think she was brown-haired with glasses) who was piloting a giant robot-mech-thing trying to tear through... something. A portal? Near the end she screamed "Just one... more... LAYER!"
-Some people were preparing to fight in the giant robots and as something was counting down (preparing the robots, I guess?) most of them had their eyes closed, keeping calm, whereas one of them was complaining very loudly.
-I think the one who was complaining was also the one who complained about the doors not locking before being told that they don't because in Japan, people care about privacy.
-In one scene this girl chugged a can of beer and said "There's nothing like an ice-cold beer after a hot bath!". I think she was still in a towel.
Edited by TheReaperSutcliffopenDisney or Nick movie? Film
I can only remember one scene from the movie and it also freaked me out. Two friends (maybe sisters?) are attacked by an evil person who is able to morph into looking like one of the girls. The other friend has to try to figure out which is the real friend and spray some kin of hose or magic or something at the evil one but she chooses wrong. I'm guessing it was from 1995-2001ish? HELP

Edited by soirannaojopenIdiotic Cartoon about idiotic captain? Western Animation
It was an animated cartoon with a narrator that I distinctly stopped watching because of an overused gag. Basically the character is a captain or musketeer of some sort and every time he tries to sheath his sword he ends up stabbing himself with it. There'd never be any blood, but it happened every time and once, he even asked the narrator for a Band Aid. Thanks in advance.
Edited by BenthelameopenCreepy possibly science/education children's show (90s/early 200s?) Live Action TV
I remember watching a tv show as a child which I only recall to be creepy but might not be considering I probably thought many things were creepy at that age. I want to say I remember it was a show that had some sort of a lab or room that was dark with tvs or screens and the character would come in and out after different scenes/ skits were shown. I want to say the character was a scientist as I remember the showing being somewhat educational but in a very eerie way. Can't recall if it was claymation/ puppets/ cartoon or a mixture. I know it's a very vague description but please help!! I'd recognize it if I saw it.
