opendark fairytale show Western Animation
I have this vague memory of a tv series airing short animations in the late 90s early 2000s, they were all adaptations of fairy tales and I think each one was stylistically unique, One episode had the fairy tale of "The Nightingale" which was in a sort of cyberpunk aesthetic i think?? The episode i remember the clearest was the Pied Piper of Hamelin, it was in a grungy city setting and when the piper takes the children away at the end to punish the adults for not paying him they disappear into a graffiti mural on the wall in a subway. I live in australia so chances are it was a canadian production, we got a lot of those on tv for some reason
open"Chase the Sun" by Avicii, but apparently not? Music
So I used to listen to this one song on youtube that was labeled as Chase the Sun by Avicii. I just went back to re-listen, and the video was gone. All the current results for Avicii Chase the Sun are a completely different song (probably the real "Chase the Sun"), and the song I'm trying to find was apparently something else entirely. Unfortunately, the song was instrumental so I can't just look up the lyrics. It was an upbeat electronic song comparable to Avicii's Holiday (here), and the video title was something like "Avicii Chase the Sun (NEW SONG 2015)"
openBlack and white musical video with a rabbit Film
Im loocking for a Black and White music video. I remember that in the video is some sort of Stop-motion white rabbit with a suit in a haunted mansion. I found a footage in a video montage, but i cant find the video nor the band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK8BpI7t-AU (is in minute 1:03 to 1:10)
open'cartoon' episode where snow freezes everything
I remember seeing this episode of a series, and in this particular episode, this team of people (assumed to be the main characters) are notified of this snow that is spreading freezing everything. The characters then try to stop this snow and during the episode they all get frozen one by one by this snow, the last two characters left are this smaller character (I want to say its a small wizard I'm not sure) and an adult man, anyway I think he gives the man something as a memorial of him? And then he gets frozen, the man then reaches this giant orb which can stop the snow if he touches the orb, however a giant spider is guarding the orb and the man needs to fight the spider, but the snow is reaching the orb and the man gets most of his body frozen but manages to defeat the spider and touches the orb, and that's all I can remember.
Edited by Spesusopen90s vampires living in the basement of a school.
There used to be a t.v. show on Netflix I can't remember the name at all but it was about this group of vampires living in the basement of a school I think they slept in stereotypical coffins and there was a skylight thing in the ceiling it looked to be something that would have been from the 90s that is all I remember.
openHumor comic Print Comic
I am looking for a specific comic by some artist I can't remember. But I remember a couple of things about it.
First, I remember that the cower of the pocket I used to have but can no longer find looked like it could fit on the Lethal Chef page with a character cooking something that looked not to pleasant. Second, I remember that one of the stories in the pocket as a parody of the Hunchback of Notredame featuring all kinds of chaotic madness. One scene I remember involved Quasi trying to ring one of the church bells only for it to swing above and around and hitting him in the head (and resulting in his deafness). I also remembered that in the end of the story, Quasi threw practically everything he could find at the crowd below, including Esmeralda and Frollo, and eventually himself. Apparently he bounced on the ground and was sent flying somewhere and became a superstar after that, or something like that. And thirdly, I remember a short story in the same pocket which basically boiled down to a man yawning, his wife turns on a table fan, a fly get's blown away by said fan right into the mans mouth, he spits it out right into the fan, the fly platters on the fan and splatters fly all over the mans face.
well that is what I can remember of it.
openCan Anyone Help me Im Look for this Series/Movie
This is a old series i think in the late 90's and early 2000's. i remember a scene whereby a man walks out from a building or car with topless women. i also remember. A man and a lady sitting around a table and the man complains about his back, then the lady says i can fix it and tells him to get on the table and she fixes his back.
Edited by GTiopenPeriod Drama
Trying to find the title of a series that is about a landowner trying to build a railroad through his property. They have to build a bridge for the railroad to continue. There is a woman who has to leave the city because her dead husband ran up debt. She starts a boarding house. One of her boarders turns out to be the older brother of the landowner who everyone thought died in Africa. There is also a sub-plot where her son kills a bad man who he saw blow up something and chases him. I remember the story, but no names of characters, actors or titles.
opentrance song Music
I remember about 10 years ago when I was looking for this song by the artist K90 I found some song from another band that was remixed by him and I really liked it. Problem is, I can't remember the band or song name other then I think the song name had the word "journey" in it.
open2010-ish song with rockabilly blonde singer fighting men in animal masks in music video Music
The song was placed in a diner where the singer was cooking hamburgers. While cooking, men in animal masks and suits come in and attack her. She hits one with a frying pan, and escapes. In her music videos, these guys in masks were always in them. The singer was blonde, mid 20s (i assume) and pretty curvy. She had curly blonde hair, wore red lipstick and had a pseudo- rockabilly/1950s look. She wore leather jackets and polka dots a lot. The genre was pop/rock-ish, but wasn't mainstream because I only heard of her a couple times. I can only remember one line of lyrics: "A pretty patty, a pretty patty woah". I think it was released in 2010-2012 but no later than that. I've been looking for this since 2013, so any help would be nice.
openOld Science Fiction About night vision Live Action TV
I remember watching a show years ago on hulu that was tagged as similar to The Invisible Man TV series, the show was about a synthetic chemical which was based on a chemical that occurs naturally in animals allowing their eyes to catch more light in the dark there was a man that the government used the serum on and it gave him night vision but for the life of me i cant remember the name of this show and i would really love to see it again
openMovie about a policeman and a female masochist trying to catch a murderer Film
My mother has told me about this movie, but didn't remember it's title or anything beyond the plot: a policeman is trying to catch a sadist murderer. He gets help from a woman with masochistic tendencies. He sees a bunch of BDSM themed paintings in her house and understands that she's the right person to help him. I looked everywhere and couldn't find any film like this one. It's possible that it was made for TV, like Lifetime.
openOld cartoon Western Animation
I vaguely remeber this cartoon about the girl (she could be princess). She had dark hair and was good with the sword. She was in love with this guy and the power of their love had something to do with this heart-shaped artifact that all the villains wanted to get. There was a red dragon involved but i dont remember the details. I also remember some clumsy comic-relief characters that were flying in this ballon or flying-machin.
openCard match game Videogame
My mom is looking for a game she and my aunt used to be obsessed with. I played over their shoulder a lot. This would be in the 2000-2004 range, maybe a little earlier, on one of those websites like pogo.com or Big Fish Games (those are the two I checked because they're the two I remember them using, but I couldn't find this, unless it's gone).
I think it was a "find the connection"-type thing, where you would be given a layout of "cards" with words on them and have to click the ones that had something in common, or maybe they showed you the grouping and you had to name the connection. There were different levels (maybe five in all). In one the cards were stacked in a pyramid of six, and the words just flashed on them briefly and you had to remember where they were. It was timed. I want to say that the logo of either the site or the particular game was a stylized head in profile, possibly with a question mark involved, and if you ran out of time/gave the wrong answer it would react in some way, like changing to an "oh no! Disaster!" expression.
openWebsite about ape intelligence! Web Original
I realize this is not fiction, and this is probably not the right place to ask for help but after looking for literally months I am desperate enough to try anyway :B I apologize in advance. So, it's a website about great ape intelligence, basically. It has a huge database with many accounts of what apes (chimps, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos) have said using sign language, as well as tool use, complex behavior etc etc. I seem to remember special emphasis on sign language use. I remember it didnĀ“t have a lot of pictures, if any; it was just text, lots and lots of fascinating text. I know it's not a lot to go by. Hope someone knows/remembers!
openScary Live Action TV Show Live Action TV
So I remember seeing the very end of a live action TV show sometime in the late nineties (probably around 96-97, maybe early 98), in which a teenage (I think?) girl has a nose that will not stop wiggling on its own, so she takes a pair of scissors and while staring at herself in a poorly lit bathroom mirror, cuts it off. I think the last shot of the show was a carnival at night, but for some reason that girl cutting her nose off stuck with me. Does anyone know what this could be?
openWeird scene from kids cartoon with nesting bird and chef Western Animation
Ok, this is a weird question but it's something that's driving me nuts. It's a scene from a cartoon I saw long ago, but can't remember the cartoon and my friends think I dreamt it because it's so weird.
There's a bird, not sure what kind but I think a duck or maybe seagull or dove. I think it was white or light color. And it has long eyelashes that it flutters, so a girl bird. I think a mother bird. And the bird at one point is sitting on her nest asleep, and some male character comes (I thought maybe Elmer Fudd? It was probably a Looney Tunes show). And the guy for some reason starts plucking out the bird's tail feathers, but the bird is asleep and doesn't know. And pretty soon the bird's tail is gone and her behind is bare. And then it gets really weird, where the guy (Elmer Fudd?) starts to "prepare" the bird's bare behind! Like maybe trying to season it or salt it as if to eat it? Maybe the guy is a chef, but it was still creepy. And finally the guy spanks the bird's bum, and the bird finally wakes up and she totally freaks out on the guy.
I know this is a weird scene but I'm sure I didn't imagine it. I can even remember the animation movement and some sound and music, but not enough. I remember it was supposed to be a funny scene, but it bothered me as a kid. I can't for the life of me remember what it's from. I might not be remembering it totally right, but it's definitely something like this. And it's from a kid cartoon, believe it or not. Anyone know it?
openShort Clip (about Asexuality?) Live Action TV
I remember seeing this short clip on Tumblr under #asexual (or something like that) of a man and a woman in bed together. The comforter/sheets are off the bed and the man is shirtless. I think they were kissing or the man was undressing the woman or something. The woman stops and says "I don't like sex." The man replies, "Okay," puts his shirt back on, and pulls the sheet/comforter over the both of them so they can fall asleep. Any idea what this is from? I can't seem to find it again. The man was brunette and I think the woman was blonde, if that helps.

I remember when I was little I used to watch this VHS tape at my grandmas house. I can't remember much of it because I was about 5 years old at the time. It would be a cartoon from 90s to the 00s, from what I can remember there were these kids and they went into either this tv or computer some kind of technology. Inside of this they were getting chased by shoes, they had like mouths but no teeth just a tongue, and they attacked the kids with the laces. I remember there being a spherical-ish floor they went across with a quilt like pattern purple maybe? and at one point they were flying on a carpet/blanket. Idk man it's been bugging me google hasn't helped me a bit because I think it's such an obscure thing :(
Also mb earlier tried to reply to my previous post where I messed up the location of this but got locked. I thought I had went to this section but i guess it sent me to the homepage once I logged in.
