I have been searching for this serie quite a long time and now that i have stumbled across this site, i'd thought i'd give it a try. sorry for any language or grammar mistakes in advance since english isn't my first language. I am pretty sure that this series is a cartoon or animation.I remember it to have at least a male main character (14-18 years old, but not older) and another female character (sorry, that is a bit vague, but yeah...). If I remember correctly, there were some kinds of amulets? which the characters would throw and yell the name and then some kind of demon? or something would come out and protect them against their enemies. I think it had these typical beginnings, where the main character would stumble into a fight and then -surprise- the amulet (or something like that, idk) would activate and the demon or spirit or ghost would protect the boy. I think, they travel around the world, trying to collect as many amulets as they can. I remember one scene, where they are in venice and running on the roofs. Thanks for any tips. And no, i do not mean pokemon ;-)

Okay, this was a clip, a segment in a much larger show. I don't know the title of the show or the segment.
It was a late night variety show, I think, possibly featuring music videos and sketch comedy. Came on late at night, after Saturday Night Live, I believe. It was definitely adult oriented. In the 90's, possibly early 90's.
The clip I want to find, specifically, is an animated sequence where a child is obsessed with a super hero. He has a costume and he has a ring that he's gotten from a cereal or cracker jack-esque box. A big bug like robot is attacking the city outside his window, he goes out to confront it, and is stopped by the real super hero. The real super hero is rude to him, but the robot like, kills him with one swift knife like step. The kid then saves the day, eventually getting to the top of the robot, opening its lid to reveal a roach at the controls. He smashes it with his fist, leaving blood all over the super hero ring.
Please help!

Cartoon adaptation of A Christmas Carol. It haves two framing devices at the same time, one with animated mice and a live action one featuring a guy who was supposedly Charles Dickens.
I also remember that when the Ghost of Present Christmas shows Ignorance and Want to Scrooge the ghost's dialogue is longer than most adaptations, with him going "this two kids'lives could have been better" and after that Ignorance and Want morph into regular looking kids. Looked like something from the 70-80's, but I can't find it anywhere.

I remember a few minutes from a cg show-or movie-I watched around 2004-early 2000's-that had a goofy, clumsy, red robot as comedic relief and I think they were exploring a cave of some kind-outer space oriented. It was not Bionicle as the design of the robot was more similar to the modern red Tenkai Knight. Almost certain it was on Cartoon Network, but could not find it on any listing. Can you help me?

Has anyone seen this terrifying claymation short, about an anthropomorphic baby elephant which gets assaulted in its sleep by some kind of bird, and has its eyes plucked out? It traumatized me as a kid, saw it between 1995-2000.

This is a CGI cartoon which aired before 2000s. I have very vague recollections of it, but it was a fantasy type of show, and had something to do with an adventure or a war and defeating some baddie. I distinctly remember one female character with butterfly traits, and she mentioned that her name was the name of a butterfly. Any ideas anyone?

I watched this cartoon around 1996, though it might be older than that. It was a sci-fi war cartoon, and if I recall correct they used CG for the spaceships but normal cartoon style for everything else. The plot had something to do with a good guy, who was caught by bad aliens, who brainwashed him and made him fight against his old friends. He gets rescued at the end, though he dies I think.
I remember the good guys had a spaceship with a spinning gun which could shoot in all directions. The bad guys had a ship which looked like a crab.
I've tried searching everywhere for this show. It's not shadow raiders, though I think similar. Please can anyone help me remember ???

I remember having watch some years ago (maybe 5, 6, 7 or 8 years ago) this cartoon about 2 brothers and their sister (NO! It's not Phineas & Ferb). I think it was CGI, but I'm not sure. I remember 3 episodes. One episode was about the kids arm wrestling their sister, they lost and then became her slaves, but at the end, one of the brothers sucks his finger, and somehow becomes stronger, and beats her. Another episode was about one of the brothers being sick, the day they were going to watch a Monster-Truck-related event; one of the boys looks after his brother, and he ends up being sick too. Finally, I remember one episode Frankenstein-related. I hope someone know what cartoon I'm taking about. PD: I think it was on Disney, I'm not sure though. It wasn't very successful, there was only one season I believe.

Which "Nina Needs to Go!" short on Disney Junior had Nina yell "I really have to go!" or something in a loud voice and there was some sort of echoing effect on the word "go"?

It's a Looney Tunes short featuring a cat and a bird (NOT Sylvester and Tweety). Their owner asks to the cat that he shouldn't eat the bird while she is away, but he tries doing that anyway for the reminder of the short. At the end, the owner comes back and finds the house messed up... and the bird ate the cat.

Okay, so. I'm looking for this movie I watched back in the late 2000s. I think it was CGI, or western animation. I focused on this ace pilot boy on some big flying ship, with lots of guns and explosions involved. There was some big spooky enemy flying ship, and a love interest. I think they flew biplanes at some point. One scene I remember is that there was a giant tree city that got destroyed. The protag also manned a turret once. I've been looking for this one for ages.
EDIT: Found it! Aerotroopers. I remembered it being a lot less crappy. There's nostalgia for you.
Double EDIT: They dragged Mark Hamill into this, didn't they?

I've had these images in my head, some sort of a cartoon back then in the 90's. I don't know the name of the show but I keep getting scenes from it. I even drew them to get a better picture.

This one came form a scene when the protagonist wakes up to the sound of a man or a woman calling him captain. There is also another scene when he comes from a chute in a jumpsuit. Then after that, he sees that two ships colliding with one another, destroying them both. He's saddened by this because his friend is on one of those ships. Then a ghostly apparition speaks to him something i don't know, like in star wars when the dead obi-wan talks to luke. Then the boy wakes up in a hospital bed.

This scene came from the same show. In this episode, there was a robot that was created for some television shoot. Then the robot turns into a monkey and starts to cause chaos.

This is the scientist that is also one of the characters in the show. He's the scientist who creates inventions and is the friend of the protagonist. He wears glasses and his beard and mustache is grey.
I hope that you would help me find out the name of this show.

I saw a Looney Tunes short of Little Red Riding Hood. The main character (Bugs Bunny?) got into shenanigans with the Wolf and Red randomly burst into the room trying to remember her lines ("what big ummm..."). I distinctly remember her lifting the Wolf/Granny's long dress and exclaiming "what big underwear you have!" (or something along those lines). Problem is: it's not Little Red Riding Rabbit (Red never lifts the Wolf's clothes), so it must be another one.

I remember seeing this cartoon in the early 2000s on a local channel (probably PAX or UPN)- most likely a rerun, since the animation and art style seemed very late '80s or early '90s-ish. It starred a benelovent female mummy who befriends a couple of kids and takes them on magical ancient Egyptian adventures. I think the mummy was their babysitter or caretaker of sorts.
That's all I can remember of it. I know for a fact that it wasn't Mummies Alive!, Tutenstein, or the cartoon based on the 1999 film. Anyone got a clue?

So there's this Cat Dog short I saw when I was little.
The dog was piling hot sauce or something on his taco (or was it a hot dog?) while the cat was reading a magazine. The cat isn't paying attention to the dog until he sips his drink, and promptly freaks out when he sees the food the dog created.
He's begging the dog not to eat it but the dog shoves it in his mouth anyway and swallows it. The cat freezes for a moment before realizing nothing is happening. He goes back to reading his magazine, only for the dog to burp a fireball at him and burn his magazine, leaving him burned and upset.
Anyone remember what this was called? I remember watching it before a movie when I was little but I don't remember. I can't find it anywhere on Youtube.

Pretty sure this was a TV cartoon (series) circa mid-late 1990s. I don’t remember the context but it was an adult male who was annoyed by the dorky teenaged/adolescent boy with him, who would keep singing impromptu songs in a high-pitched voice. One of them went along the lines of “We’ll have more fun than a barrel of monkeys!”
Not much to go on, but I’ve had the silly “barrel of monkeys” song stuck in my head all day, and it’s driving me crazy! I need to remember what it’s from. I think it was one of those short-lived cartoon series that proliferated around the time (i.e.: in the wake of The Simpsons).

Some cartoon from The '90s where the characters were cavemen and the villains were dire wolves. I only saw one episode so I'm not sure if the Dire Wolves were the typical villains or not.

children's TV show. Maybe saw it 10 years ago. It had a lot of icky/grossout humor like the characters exploring a sewer. The main characters were a boy and a girl.
One thing I remember is in the opening. The characters are moving really fast with wind blowing in their face and their lips start to rise up so you can see their teeth... then the rest of their face flies up into the air. Then it comes back down when they come to a halt.
