openStop Motion Carousel Vehicles, Possibly Straight-to-VHS Western Animation
The mission to identify this show has been annoying me for about 6 or 7 years now. It was essentially a stop-motion animation involving vehicles from a children's carousel which fall off a truck or a train during a storm whilst being transported. I remember distinctly the image of them falling off the truck, down a hill and into a valley and the voices might have been...British? But they could also have been American. The episodes usually involved finding someone, or fixing a problem caused by the storm if I recall correctly. Other than that, I can't remember much other than the fact that I watched it many many times as a child.
This reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/3v821g/tomtvhstvshow_90s_childrens_show_anthropomorphic/) is describing exactly the show I am talking about, but no one has managed to work out what it is and I can't find it mentioned anywhere on the internet. Any help would be appreciated.
openWoodland critter puppet show Live Action TV
Does anyone know this show? I've been looking for it for years. It's a show where the main characters are animal puppets. there's a brother and sister rabbit, and some other animals who live in a village. and there's this wise owl who they go to to help them solve their problems, and he lives in a tree that grows books, from which he reads. the book's events are usually 2d animation.
I think it was a jim Henson thing, but I'm not sure
I don't know what era it was from, but this is driving me mad.
Edited by Xilex90open90s crime drama
When I was a child I was extremely scared by two specific episodes in a show I just can't place. The show was about detectives solving murder and abuse cases. In one of the episodes, a mother drowned her children and then stabbed herself in the stomach like seven times, I remember in the episode on of the detectives marked the edges of a knife with a marker to show how lines would be cut on the mothers hands. In the other episode, I remember a young girl accusing a family member of beating her but turns out the girl used the wings from an angel statue to beat herself in the mouth until she could no longer speak. I definitely remember in that episode when the female detective asked the girl how she was beaten, she held up a pice of paper that said "hand". I hope this is enough info for someone to help me with this, it's been bugging me for years!!!
openShow with Computers and World threatening Viruses Anime
That show where there are these kids who save the day by uploading themselves into computers and defeat these monsters that all have power buttons on them, and once the monsters were defeated they reset the day by clicking a button and everything flashes white. Had a theme song and some actual plot. I think this one girl was like taken out of the computer and turned real, and at some point somebody was trapped in a freezer and that one annoying girl found out about how they were saving everyone.

openWeird show Western Animation
I remember myself watching a show around 10 years ago involving a girl who has a small green dragon as a pet/friend. At the start they both kinda jog on the carpet until some doors appear spiralling upwards and they stop until the right door comes. In each episode this is the common part n then they go on different door adventures. The doors have pics of things that are related to the episode. The girl has two ponytails.
Can anyone help me with this? Btw it was a 3d and kinda related to Dora.
Edited by AmbiguousAiluirineopenA specific song
It's more along the lines of background music, but I'm certain it has a name.
The closest I can get for the rhythm goes in a "la-lalala la la-lalala" and just keeps going; I'm not good with identifying rhythms, unfortunately. The tune is relatively calm if disturbing.
It's a kind of circus music (at least, I affiliate it with circuses).
openMartin & Meatballs mid 2000s cartoon. Western Animation
Does anyone remember a series of Cartoon shorts on YTV from the mid 2000s about a small yellow dog and a round blue dog? I vaguely remember it being called Martin & Meatballs but I can't find it for the life of me, in the show they didn't actually speak, they made gibberish sounds and used speech bubbles with pictures in them to talk. A lot of stuff in the show was made of pictures cut and pasted together. In one episode some Russian bears lose a sattelite and it lands on a see-saw shooting the small dog into the air, and the bears come looking for the sattelite and keep repeating "Sputnik"
That's all I remember.
openMovie(?) With a Werewolf Who Flips the Bird Film
I have a crawling suspicion that this came from a movie, but it could have been a tv show. I found this gif on Tumblr◊ and now I want to know where it came from. I have not seen anything else from it.

Edited by FeLONeopenA french existentialist text - possibly a play Literature
It's about a guy who is with a revolutionary group and is asked to kill his boss but has a crisis over if he should do it or not, eventually his girlfriend/wife is the one who kill the guy. There's some symbolism involving the girl wearing red.
openI am trying to find a title of a show. Live Action TV
It was a show on one of the major networks, ABC, NBC, CBS or Fox. It was a tv show with an apocalyptic feel about different parts of the United States separated into different groups or nations. No the show is not REVOLUTION. This is a different canceled show. I remember one of the nations has a southern United States feel with slaves and plantations. I also recall all of the nations were looking for a boy that had special abilities. If anyone can help me it would be great. Thank you.
openWhat's this sound effect?
Does anyone know the name of the sound effect used here? It's like something you'd hear at a casino, but I've searched "casino sound effects" and couldn't find anything. I remember hearing that sound a lot in old computer games like this.
Edited by DrNoPumaopenBeauty and the Beast video
When I was younger I saw this video at a friend's house, I think they rented from blockbuster or the library and it was about the Beauty and the Beast fairy-tale. It was hosted by an Asian man( my brain says David Suzuki but nothing comes up when I Google him and Beauty and the Beast so it probably wasn't him) and contained three different versions of The Beauty and The Beast. The first was just the original tale while the second was an Asian telling that seems to have been based on the firebird since it's about a guy rescuing a princess from an evil sorcerer with the help of a bird-woman/spirit guide. Interestingly he almost fails when the sorcerer kills the bird woman and turns the princess to stone.
The only other thing I remember is that the host would talk about each version before and after they had been played, usually stuff like pointing out certain differences between them.
Edited by Christyopenlooking for a movie? cant find it here or online Western Animation
hi, im looking for the name of a movie that i found here three to six months ago, i wanted to watch it but never got a chance to because i completely forgot the name. ive been trying to find it again and my search results have been pretty fruitless. the movie was about, a girl being sent to this internet world and trying to escape it I believe? i have no idea if it was a series, but i believe it was a single film. it was animated, but i dont believe it was necessarily for children. i think it had some raunchy or mature humor. im sorry for being vague, but its all i remember for now. thanks in advance.
openOld computer game, shooting missiles over city
I remember playing this old game on my computer in the 90's (though the game could easily have been released earlier). In it, there's a city represented by a row of buildings at the bottom of the screen, with these stationary missile launchers that you control at either end of the screen, and you use them to shoot incoming missiles or bombs or attacking aircraft (I can't remember exactly) coming down from the sky to destroy the buildings.
The key detail I remember is that the missiles you fired left a white line behind them, which I guess was supposed to be an exhaust trail. Very simple graphics, but I remember enjoying it. Any idea what it is?
open90's to 2000's show either on Disney or YTV Live Action TV
I remember watching this show when I was younger, but these kids get transported to a computer game of sorts, and every level one of the kids got a power up for their suits. It was live-action until they went into the game, then it became animated. It's bugging me real bad, but they had an A.I. that helped them out and was able to go to the real world with them. It also turned out the villain was affecting the real world as well.
