openNo title Western Animation
A CGI animated edutainment cartoon about space/astronomy. The characters were anthropomorphic celestial bodies and constellations, and the main group were all stars. One of them was The Sun, and their leader was much larger than the others and named "Super Star" or something. I don't know if he was even based on a real star, but I could be wrong.
openRecent animated series, teen classic monsters in a band Western Animation
I've seen this series in the last year on broadcast tv in the wee hours of the morning. Teen classic monsters, in a band that performs in the show, share a house. Girl vampire similar to but younger than the vamp girl in Hotel Transylvania. Frankenstein monster (teen male) might be the drummer. Young male werewolf, typical werewolf issues. They have a manager. Might be Canadian?
Edited by OlblouopenSuperhero squirrels? Western Animation
I recall an animated show in the style of Wonder Pets... it was like, these two realistic-looking squirrels with headbands similar to the TMNT; one having a red one, the other having a blue, and I think they were both girls. They both talked to a guy in a TV for their mission, I believe, and they both fought crime. I also cannot recall what network this was on, if it WAS on one. But I believe a show that aired on The Hub, "The Secret Millionares Club," was also on the site it was hosted on (but I am definitely not sure about that.)
Edited by CrypticalFieryopenCartoon Network Show about transformations... Western Animation
This show has been bugging me for a while. It’s basically 3 kids who can turn into monsters. I believe one of their monster forms was a robot, but I’m not really sure.
No. It’s not Gormiti or Chaotix.
openOld Cartoon episode Western Animation
I only vaguely remember it, but I think I had it on video and it just popped back into my head.
The plot revolved around 2 (?) guys (detectives? I think they might've been anthro animals rather than people) trying to catch a shadow man who, I believe, had stolen something? The main thing I remember is the shadow man kept getting away and would tip his hat with a bit of an ominous HEH-HEH-HEH whenever he did so. I believe that the guys caught the shadow man in the end.
Also, I keep thinking Looney Tunes era for it; it definitely wasn't something modern. Thanks in advance!
openCartoon similar to The Lines Western Animation
A cartoon in the style of La Linea (The Lines) with a blue background and a cat as protagonist. It aired in the commercial breaks of Nick Jr., around 1998-2002 (around the same time as Philomena Fly, Amby & Dexter, and Flexy). I remember an episode in which a flea used the cat's and a dog's tails tied together as a jump rope. I vaguely remember another episode of the cat climbing a tree to bring something. Thanks in advance!
Edited by Azure-ReflexopenBad CGI Shapes? Western Animation
There was this one really weird CGI show I used to watch as a kid (the early 2000’s) that had a bunch of 3D shapes. I remember one of the main characters was a star, and they all had really creepy faces. I think they also lived in space or in an alternate universe or something? I can’t remember the name for the life of me, and searching things like “bad CGI shapes children’s show” only comes up with those horrid animated “educational” kids You Tube videos.
openPossible Clifford Episode.. Western Animation
So I recently remembered an episode of what I believe to be “Clifford the Big Red Dog”. I am not sure this is the actual series from which this episode stems though. I remember something of a character making a very large and very complex sandwich and I believe it to be the recurring character, Charley, however I can’t seem to find an episode that would include him doing so. Any help would be appreciated.
openCartoon with real faces Western Animation
Im trying to remember a show I saw years ago, it had 2D animation but the faces were actual recordings of real people with a cartoony filter over it. One character had long hair and a red sweat band with a unibrow. It was a show geared more towards mature audiences. Any ideas?
openMonster school show ? Western Animation
So my friend and I are trying to remember an old cartoon I apparently watched in middle school. She was describing an episode to me, and I do remember it vaguely because I remember drawing my favorite character. She described the episode as weird, it was about a normal kid who went to a school full of kids who turned into monsters when they became embarrassed? She also told me that in this specific epsisode, the kids thought they turned into monsters because they wore dirty underwear. The ‘normal’ kid apparently wore a black and white striped long sleeve shirt with a black shirt over it, and he had black hair? Does this ring a bell to anyone, it’s driving us both crazy trying to find it. It’s not Gravedale High.
Edited by foxbox1227openToon Discovers His Crush Is Traditionally Animated Western Animation
There was this short film I saw many years ago that I haven't been able to track down, and Google gives me a lot of unrelated results. But here's what I remember about it:
This is set in a world where Toons and live-action humans coexist, like with Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Cool World. The protagonist is a human Toon (a Viking, I believe, but it was never made that important), who sees a gorgeous Toon woman on TV and tries to seek her out to meet her in person. Much of the story is him getting directions and information from people, and he finally tracks down the studio in which her cartoons are made, only to discover he was led to an animation studio, with people at their desks drawing frames on cels—they are animating the cartoon shorts about this Toon woman, and he finds out she never existed as a living being in the first place.
Has anybody seen this? I thought it was a nice deconstruction of the Toons-and-live-action premise that I haven't really seen addressed again.
openanimated movie about a dog being adopted by rabbits Western Animation
The movie begins with an owl making an introduction to the viewer, and then beginning the story, the scene then cuts to a little girl and her dog in a car driving through the rain, which breaks down, the puppy then wanders off and gets lost in the forest, and is then adopted by a family of rabbits.
openTim Burton esque animated short about balloons Western Animation
I think this aired on CN, but it could have been Disney. Like I mentioned in the title, kind of a tim burton art style, and pretty cool music playing in the bg (no dialogue). The plot was as follows: A kid got a big bunch of balloons and was super happy, but then some evil creatures composed of sharp black shapes came and started popping his balloons. Every balloon they popped changed part of his body to be a pointy black shape—like, fingers, then hands, then legs, then torso, etc. They left him sad, but he cheered up again when he saw he had one balloon left—at this point he was completely composed of black triangles except for his head. He happily hugged and squeezed the balloon, and the short ended on a popping noise.
Didn’t get much when googling bc it’s so vague all I could go on was “creepy balloons short Cartoon Network.”
openSuperhero show or maybe a dream. Western Animation
Disclaimer: I might be crazy enough to create an entire cartoon series since I’m trying to find this show after I woke up from dreaming about it. Now the show...
The one episode I dreamt about was when a spider-like creature (this creature had 8 legs was flat but slimy had a red dot and a yellow dot encompassing that one in its center, the rest of its body was green.) when this creature came in contact with water it would grow larger and larger into a giant slime ball. The superhero (the name eludes me) could fly and might have had super strength. (Their costume was weirdly similar to that of The Flash, a red suit and a lighting bolt in the middle of the chest.) The superhero decayed this creature by leading it away from water and destroying the surrounding area making a deep crevice around the monster, keeping it trapped, without a constant supply of water the creature shrinked back to its spider-like appearance. From here it was captured then might have either been destroyed somehow or was kept for study.
If this is a dream it was a cool one (lol), but if this was an actual show I would love your guys’s help in finding out what the show was called. Thank you in advance to all those who try and help me. Thank you.
openSkull Cave with action words Western Animation
Pretty sure this was on VHS. An ostrich and lion go on a treasure hunt/safari and find a cave that looks like a skull. Inside they find words like “Look” and “Jump” that help them exit the cave alive. On the other side is a circus and as far as I remember that’s the end. Watched it in the 90s, the style wasn’t very clean for animation...
openAnyone remember this? If so, is there anywhere it can be located? Western Animation
It played before a 4D Spongebob show in a theater in the UK. It was a warning that food, drinks, and smoking weren’t allowed. It showed a claymation man in the theaterwith all of those things, only for a robot arm to reach down and take them one by one. I found it particularly funny when he tries and fails to keep the last thing. It then showed us a diagram while warning us that pregnant women/those with heart conditions, etc. shouldn’t be here, and cut back to the claymation man being shaken around in the theater while warning us they couldn’t be held responsible for injuries, etc.
openCreepy Children's Cartoon from the 90s-00s Canadian Pay Per View Western Animation
I'm trying to find the name of a show that I used to watch on Pay Per View during my Canadian childhood. It's most likely from the 90s or early 2000s. It was a creepy show that takes place in a small town centered around three main characters that are still in school; there's a very muted or greyish or bluish undertone to the entire thing and the characters. The one episode I can remember was there was an exterminator that was "getting rid" of the mosquitos but he really was the mosquito king or something and his "bug repellant" was actually attracting more mosquitoes. If anyone can help me find the show I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
openplease help Western Animation
i need help finding a short animation (probably around 5 mins): - it was on "Boomerang from Cartoon Network" between the years of 2005-2009 i cant remember the exact year - what I remember from the animation is that there is a baby mole, who lives underground and looses his mother. then the mole leaves his underground home to look for his mom, hes yelling for his mom but is blinded by the sun and hes walking towards a dangerous river, and its very sad. - after the show "Tom and Jerry" that would come on at 8, there would be a bunch of short animations that would follow. this mole animation was one of them.
please help ive been looking for this animation forever and I cannot find it anywhere

vaguely recall watching a show that involved which i believe was bears or some animal living in caves near a volcano or something like that. I believe there was maybe a park ranger that always got them out of trouble. They kid animals would go on adventures and travel in some kinda helicopter contraption. Ring any bells for anyone?
