openCat anime!!! PLEASE HELP
I'm not really sure what it's from, but it aired in the U.S. and was about this group of human shaped cats with little pets and this evil guy with a spiky large nose with an octopus or a cat or something as a sidekick. At the end of each episode the evil guy's ship thing would always sink. It was a very interesting..style of animation. It was a kids show, and the main characters would become a robot or something to save the city.
openA show for little kids to learn about words Film
When I was a kid, I watched this show where all the characters were storybook characters, except for the main character, his name was Wyatt. There was a team of kids, he was the leader. Someone else on the team was the princess from the princess and the pea. They did lots of spelling and stuff to teach little kids
openAsian movie, man drugs kids and kidnaps them Film
Hey guys, I am looking for an Asian movie where a guy kidnapped children, drugging them with a psychedelic mushroom soup. (it might also have a sequence where he gets a kid into a washing machine and closes the door, but we are not sure) Thanks in advance.
openSpace cartoon or something
I remember watching this cartoon that took place in space. I think the main character of it was a green alien and there was some brain or cloud with glasses. I also remember that the main character had a younger sister with a spot on her forehead that would glow when she was using some kind of psychic power. I also remember that in one episode the main character's little sister was messing everything up because she was "sick" or something and couldn't use her psychic powers or whatever they were.
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.

Edited by AmourMittsopenWoodland 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 Xilex90openUnkown city creator game for PC Videogame
I remember playing this game a long time ago at my friend's house. It was a city creator game, for the PC. It had an isometric perspective and had graphics similar to rollercoaster tycoon 2, even the poeple who walked around on the city streets looked like the people from rct2. There weren't many options of things to build; I remember you could make houses, churches, harbors, and probably some other things. Your houses start off as shacks but then can get upgraded until I assumed they eventually became skyscrapers. Everything seemed to look white. And no, it isn't transport tycoon. Anybody know this?
EDIT: I think I played it around the early 2000's, But I think it may have been older than that because of the graphics. I'm beginning to ponder the possibility that it was a game available only on the internet, on some now-dead link or something impossible to track down like that.
Edited by greatgodofmineworldopenJapanese (?) animation movie, 2010s Film
I remember my family rented some DVD from Redbox (this was probably 2010 or so.). I think the protagonist was a young teenage boy from modern Japan, and there was time travel or something of that ilk, but what I do remember is a scene (the climax or very near to it) where a main character is fighting the big bad who has magic of some sort, and the main character retaliates by using their own magic to make the water in a nearby lake go up in hundreds of rivulets, like gravity got flipped in a polka dot pattern on this lake, and this display of power had something to do with an (Eastern) dragon. The movie ends with the protagonist taking a groupie with a flip phone of himself and a few friends, possibly friends from the past/other world, and the boy returned to his own world/time. One of the people in the pic puts up a V sign next to their face. I think there was an Eastern dragon on the top of the cover, and the title was a Japanese word, not something translated into English words. It's not a lot to go on and vague, but does anyone know what the movie was?
Edited by Lizzie221openBritish(?) comedy TV show from 1960s or 1970s or 1980s Live Action TV
Can someone name this show I saw in my childhood? It was a possibly English comedy (dubbed into German), 2 actors, live action, (name) and (name) as title (In the German version)? With a big billboard in the intro. Each ep had one theme, e.g. ancient Rome, newspaper is 1 ton of granite tablets, fiddling while Rome burns. In another ep (of this show?): using rolls royce or bently to move through very large posh house. Thanks.
open2 examples for Ominous Pipe Organ Film
This is a weird question, but...
If I recall correctly, the live-action films of both The Smurfs and Dudley Do-Right contain a brief Ominous Pipe Organ tune when the Big Bad is first introduced.
Is this correct? Can someone maybe provide more context, as well as Youtube links to these scenes?

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 AmbiguousAiluirineopenMovie(?) 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.
openGang related anime i think Anime
I am trying to find an anime I remember watching awhile back. Most of it is vague but it was about some kind of gang I think with all members being forced to where their symbol on either a earring or necklace. The symbol was half the yin yang like a ball with a curvy tail there was also a hole in the middle of the circle. it started off with a girl returning home to them or something. Thanks so much and I hope to get an answer.
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.

Windows meets Rogue Leader, who to his horror is a 10-year-old girl
there was a sitcom where this situation also happened. and the episode was a crossover episode between two sitcoms but was only featured on one sitcom. notably one of the sitcoms was cancelled earlier than the other but before the crossover episode happened.
it's either that or parents from 'show A' find out their kid is talking to an online stranger and believe it's an online predator, while parents from 'show B' find out their kid is also talking an online stranger and also believe it's an online predator. Hilarity ensues between both groups when they schedule a meeting and are confused when they reverse online predator'd each other.
So, there's a sound clip that plays during the Creature Feature song "Bound and Gagged", and I really want to know where it's from. The clip in question plays at the 1:52 mark, up until 2:03. If it helps, it may have come from a brief snippet of whatever was shown in this fanmade music video at that point in the song. (Around 1:56-2:01 in the music video.)
