I'm looking for a film which I watched frequently in the mid 90's, it could be older though. It was a children's film, or maybe even TV series, which took place in a world made entirely from patchwork and blankets. I'm pretty certain it was set entirely outside, because I can easily visualise the hills and fields in the backgrounds. I don't think there were any humans, the main characters where animals; all stuffed toys, or maybe puppets.
I'm not certain, but I think one of the characters was a blue stuffed dog.

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the name of an old 80s (quite possibly early 90s) show that was basically a pop culture shopping site for kids. It was pretty much like HSN or QVC but for kids and it showcased video games, toys, music, etc. I want to say it came on early in the morning but I'm not sure. I'm REALLY hoping that someone might know this >_< Please and thank you and great to be here :)

A young adult novel about a young couple who run away from home to live in the wilderness after the girl's family is killed in a car crash. They live off the land in the deep forest of a mountainous national park, and come very close to having sex but stop because they don't want to risk pregnancy, which would force them to rejoin society. Eventually the girl recovers from her grief and decides to return to their home town, but the boy refuses and is implied to spend the rest of his life in the wild, having rejected the outside world more fully than she did.

Hello, maybe you can help me.
I'm looking for a short film I saw once but I don't remember its name. It was an action film in a modern setting. It had two rival gangs fighting each other with swords. Not samurai swords, more like european longswords. I think there was also something about two brothers, one of which had a best friend in the rival gang or something. In the end the one brother fights the other's best friend on a rooftop and they end up killing the brother that comes to stop them from killing each other.
Where else would you recommend I look? Where else can I ask?
Thanks!

This is a clip from a trailer for "Robo Roach", dubbed into Russian. What metal song is in the background? [http://2x2tv.ru/movie/fa654eb186221d6f93ba81d57c73aafc

It was either a TV show or movie. I remember a woman approaching a roadside booth, talk to the guy inside and walk away. The guy inside is fuming and he answers the telephone yelling angrily "CANADIAN CUSTOMS!".

Either a movie or a TV show, live-action, that quotes the opening line of David Copperfield ("Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life..."). I think it's a male character speaking in voiceover. It's not Fahrenheit 451 or The Cider House Rules, which were what kept coming up when I Googled it. This may be something very recent or famous or otherwise obvious, I just can't remember, and "stuff that quotes David Copperfield" is sort of a hard thing to search for.

Hey all, there are these two shows that I have been trying to remember for years now. They both played at around the same time during the 90s in Australia, but I don't doubt they played in other countries.
The first one I'm pretty sure was about this white anthropomorphic dog, I dunno, I think he went for a walk (for some reason) and went to a hay-stack and ran into a flying pig (I think) and it turned out some bad guys kidnapped his mother... so they go off to find her... they run into other people to help... There was one episode that was quite creepy when they got to some forest with signs that read "No singing, No dancing, No whistling" Of course the dog-thing rebels and does exactly that and gets captured... Don't remember much after that. I think, maybe, this series was the kind that were 5 mins in length and played before a full-length show.
The second show I remember even less. I think the protagonist was a talking blue dog (or something) and he was a pirate. He has a love interest (I think she was a cat) that was originally part of the bad pirate dudes but then converts to the good guys. He had a friend that was large and tanky.
Any ideas?

I remember an Easter special with purple eggs and a tan Easter rabbit (wore a blue jacket) that got in trouble, there was something about a thorn bush. Any ideas?
Animation was closer to proper proportions, not super-deformed.

Hi. I'm looking for help locating the name of a show I watched when I was much younger.
I recall it being played in the early to mid-80's. Was played on either NBC, CBS or ABC. I recall only a few small parts of the intro. I believe it had 3 people, 2 males, 1 female. Dressed in white (I think some sort of space or futuristic suits). I recall a scene with a lizard man bowing in front of a throne. The only episode I recall had two of the members entering a room after playing tennis, then getting shrunk down to fight lizard men. I think the show might have been created by Hanna Barbara or at least had a similar style (quite sure it wasn't Filmation but I could be wrong). Any help would I would be grateful for.

There's this computer game that I remember playing with my dad when I was a kid. This would have been in the late 90's or early 2000's. It opened in a small window. You had to control this little stick figure man and guide him through a bunch of levels; I think the game had over a hundred levels. I'm pretty sure it was some kind of puzzle game. I remember ice and water being prominent in several of the levels. I want to say the character you control is some kind of miner, but I'm not sure that's accurate.

Teen novel, probably written in the 70's or 80s, about a girl who is convinced to join a band. Her and the guy in the band sing amazing when she's angry with him, but lose the spark when she's happy. They fall in love, which messes with their dynamic. The band becomes really popular.
I'm not sure I liked the book, but it fascinated me, especially how dated everything seemed. I'm not sure if they were punk or rock, but I could see their big hair and hear their screaming 'music'.

I remember watching an animated show on PBS kids when I was younger about mice/hamster or maybe just small rodents in general living in Medieval time. And also this show is no the show "Tales of the Riverbank" I remember that there was an ongoing conflict and plot in the whole series instead of just with every individual show. The show also usually aired on Sunday mornings. If any could help me remember the name of it, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

So I caught this film on TCM last summer at like 1 in the morning: a man gradually falls in love with his ward, who was the daughter of his deceased friend. It's an older movie, made around the 30's or 40's, I'd say. I remember that there was some scandal because in real life, the actor and (younger) actress had had an affair, and everyone basically tut-tutted them while they made the film as an excuse to hook up. It was surprisingly good, but I freaking can't remember what it was called! It was never released on DVD, so i'm not sure how I'd ever see it again, but it's driving me nuts!

Hey! I was wondering if anyone knew the title of this film. I saw it on TV a few years ago but I didn't memorize the name. I've been asking and googling around but haven't found the right thing yet, and it's starting to drive me nuts. D:
The plot goes roughly like this: There's this girl who writes letters to a prisoner (and he writes back) for some school thing. I don't remember whether the prisoner escaped or if he was released, but he runs away with the girl and ends up committing some crimes. They fall in love and I think the guy was impotent or something but they manage to do it at some point anyway.
Stuff happens and at the end the police kill the prisoner (who makes the girl tell the cops that he made her do it, even though she went with him because she wanted to). Also, not exactly sure about this, but I think the girl might've gotten pregnant?
I think it might be from somewhere around the 80's or 90's. Maybe.
So, thank you in advance (here's hoping someone knows this movie!) O:

I recall an old cartoon I used to watch that was a sort of futuristic cop or soldier thing. I remember the focus being a city that I think was under some kind of dome, and the people had been changed or altered by these pod-things...I seem to remember them having an orange or yellow center...and the good guys were trying to fight back. Anyone have any idea what cartoon that was? I'm in the US, Chicago area and I do remember it was on channel 66 when it still existed.

I'm researching a full-length anime movie from my friend, it contained
- A young male police officer(?) with a Cool Bike (red in color)
- Sister or friend comes to him, asks him to investigate death of his brother with the suspect of a Man In White villain who killed him by tackling him off the construction site and landing in a net while the other man didn't.
- A dog central to the plot bites the villain's hand, gets stabbed and dissolved to red goo, giving the villain a Red Right Hand of some sort.
- Weird Faux Symbolism
- The bad guy escapes due to the movie being a prequel to a series proper.
- The word 'Bablyon' seems familiar to it somehow.
- It is not Akira.
Any help with this will be appreciated.

There was this TV show, set in Canada, and an episode of it revolved around people who read newspaper's lickinig their fingers, which contained some kind of poison. I know, it sounds odd. But, it was on Cartoon Network and was around late '90s-early 2000's.

I think there's a song that sounds very similar to "What is Eternal" by Trans Siberian Orchestra (Not the Ode To Joy Part) I don't really know much about it. I think it may have been another metal song.
