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
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.
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
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.
openCGI Cartoon about a bunch of Robots Western Animation
The main characters were a kid and a police robot about the same size as the kid. The robot was under the command of a guy whose head was a literal smiley emoji.
openGame Like Nevermind, But Not Nevermind Videogame
I wish this game wasn't rotting at my brain because I had it saved a while ago. But I'll try to remember as much as I can.
First of all, this game is going to sound a LOT like Nevermind. It's not Nevermind. It's not Ether One, either.
This was a free to play first person PC game that put you in the role of a psychiatrist/psychologist/therapist who could go into the mind of their patient (may have been in a coma). Your task was to go through memories of this poor woman and solve puzzles to collect photographs. These were out of order and needed to be placed on a large tree in the 'backyard of her mind' to figure out the cause of her trauma. One of the rooms was a study with a dark atmosphere, a moose's head over a fireplace, an owl statue near a window and lots of books. The puzzle was collecting pieces to form in the shape of a star of David or something similar that connected with colorful light lines. This was inside her childhood home and outside of a room you couldn't enter, you could hear her parents arguing pretty loudly.
In the kitchen area of this same house, the area would fill with milk as you were trying to go through memories (AGAIN I can't stress, this is not Nevermind! I've never touched Nevermind, never paid for Nevermind, never played Nevermind, or watched a Let's Play I'm confusing with it either. There was also no ongoing narration.)
You'd go out the door into the backyard to put these pictures up on a tree. As you got deeper, the surrounding got scarier. Until finally you were in a tall room with a lot of disfigured faces and trees (the graphics weren't polished but they were alright). The last photograph you found told the story of your patient who was traumatized from her parents fighting and then seeing a truck crash into their car and explode it into a fireball, which is where her fears came from.
It was really well done and with a lovely soundtrack too. I just can't remember the damn thing's name. (Once again, with feeling: NNM!)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

openChildrens cartoon that aired on Playhouse Disney Western Animation
Two main characters (a girl and another that I can't remember). I think there was also a professor guy. They would have to go up a spiral (and I think open a certain door).
One episode was a "couch potato" episode where the girl warned the other character not to sit on the couch. Another episode was where they found out they didn't have any water or juice and so they got this infinite refilling water bottle and gave it to the monster that was drinking all the liquid.
open90s-00s kids show with...
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.

Edited by aversirecuerdojajaxdopenComedy British Horror themed kids show
I’m trying to remember an old kids show I used to watch. It was a kids show in Britain in the 2000s, set in a horror mansion but with more comedy and panel show elements. There was a segment in it based on the tv showmaster mind. Really struggling to remember it, was hoping someone could possibly help, much thanks
openCan you help? Live Action TV
So I remember watching this at least 4 or more years ago (it's probably longer to be fair but I have no sense of time) and I know it was real despite not being able to find anything on it. It's a TV show and it starts off with this sort of scholarship girl getting in to this elite university or college and when she gets there it's all rich kids and endless amounts of sex and drugs and stuff and I think she gets propositioned by this smarmy arrogant guy and at some point one of the characters gets killed with rowing equipment. Possibly stabbed with an oar? I originally thought it was by BBC or itv but now I don't know.

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.
openPrisoner can see everyone's crimes except his own Literature
I'm 90% sure this is a Kafka story but for the life of me I can't find it. A man awakes inside an iron maiden and can see other iron maidens in front and to the side of him. Each one has a crime displayed on it, and people are walking past the iron maidens and sneering, jeering, etc. The man looks around but cannot see his own crime. When the crowd gets to him, they give the most exuberant display of distaste with his crime and react almost violently. The crime is never revealed to the character or the reader.
So its a show that the main character is a red head guy with a red sweater usually and they find monsters and get rid of them its like archies mysteries and like scooby doo ive been trying to find it but i never could and it was a cartoon that would scare me but it was soo good.
