openAnimated show where they play a horse riding simulator Western Animation
I watched this sometime in the late 2000s or early 2010s, I'm pretty sure it was animated in CGI. In one episode a woman is showing someone else how to play a horse riding simulator game where you pull controllers to pull the reins left and right. At one point they play a different simulator where they drive a boat avoiding icebergs (or rocks, I'm not sure). There was also someone calmly singing about how they love living here, which was possibly the credits theme.
openThe Man Western Animation
As a kid I had a plushy whose name I could never remember (I just called him “the man”) but he was a cartoon character. I believe he was a giant with blonde hair with a big, Jay Leno-esque chin and a big, fat belly. He wore a dark green jacket and tights with a pouch around his neck and I think he wore brown shoes. I may still have him. If I can find him, I’ll post a picture. Please help!
openA kids show from my fuzzy memory Western Animation
There was a cartoon I remembered seeing a long time ago, but I have difficulty remembering a lot about it or even the name of this show so bear in mind I might misremember some stuff.
It was completely animated, likely 3D. Definitely no live-action elements. It was targeted for young children. I think I saw it on YouTube around the early-to-mid 2010s.
The setting took place in a white void (similar to Pocoyo) and I believe there were some sentient colorful numbers ranging from one to ten (similar to Numberjacks) since I remembered there was some counting involved at either the opening or the ending to an episode.
There was an episode I know where a young human character (presumably the main protagonist) is helping another young human character find a castle and the main character(?) suggests they "ask the aeroplane" (A miniature functioning red biplane that looked like a toy), but the airplane flies away and didn't bother to talk to the two characters. They eventually find this castle which happened to only have an empty room and the secondary character became disappointed about something. The main character then comforts the secondary character and I think the castle floor was a trampoline like a bouncy castle.

There was a show that was claymated and had a big boy with brown hair. I don't know the name of it but I have seen it the YouTube crossovers.
openPink hair girl in a bamboo forest Western Animation
If someone can find me this show I’ll actually be so happy, it’s been bothering me for over a decade, not knowing what it is keeps me up some nights. I remember very little about it
3d animated Main character might’ve had pink hair and space buns She had a small companion The villain of the show were white haired twins I remember a gong being at the main characters house or something so possibly china themes, as well as a bamboo forest being where she lives
openThat Short About Making the Most out of Life Western Animation
I'm trying to remember a short that aired before a full-length film, where a guy worries about taking risks in life (surfing, too much bacon, etc.) because he'll die, only to realize that dying after living his whole life as a White Collar Worker is much worse. The company/building was called Boring Boring (not the complete name).
Edited by FruitzieopenA McDonalds(?) Advertisement with fruit Western Animation
This Mc Donalds advertisement had animated fruits riding in the back of a truck and there were talking for a bit. About escaping. Then the watermelon has enough and jumps out the back yelling about freedom. Then he gets run over. One of the other fruits yells 'wait, we can still save him,' then multiple cars run over the remains of the watermelon. And the fruits are kind of there, stunned.
I saw this cartoon circa 2009-2012 in a Mc Donalds restaurant, which is why a remember this as a Mc Donalds cartoon. It might not be.
openDavy Crockett cartoon? Western Animation
I'm remembering from when I was a kid a cartoon featuring Davy Crockett as an Anthropomorphic Animal (not sure which one exactly, maybe a moose) with a coonskin hat that was actually a live raccoon... Did I dream that? Does it have an actual page?
openWhat SpongeBob episode is this clip from? Western Animation
A few years back, I was at a gas station, and these two kids were watching a SpongeBob SquarePants episode with this scene
on a drop-down TV. The problem is, I don't know which episode it's from...
openCartoon shows where there's scenes where a character is held in a giant gloved hand Western Animation
Hey there so I would like to know if there are cartoon shows where there's scenes where a character gets caught and held in a giant gloved hand either open palm or closed fist, any western animation cartoon would do.
openNo Title Western Animation
Has a scene where a girl named “Skye” or “Sky” has to get over test anxiety to save her brother from crashing into a rollercoaster that is going to hit him while he is in another roller coaster heading toward him (about to crash) Most of the movie takes place in a “Dia De Los Muertos” themed amusement park The brother and sister are transported there from their rooms The movie is also 2D animated (probably in flash) (similar to Wordgirl) (made in 2010s)
openCGI cartoon, tiny beings emerge from computer to fight a war Western Animation
First, I know this is not Reboot. It was an all CGI cartoon but definitely before Reboot. The concept was more similar to Micronauts mixed with Transformers: It featured very small humanoids, that almost looked like robots, coming out of computers to fight. One side was good, one side was bad (obviously to sell toys). It was Transformers inspired because the humanoids looked like robots but I think they were wearing mech body suits. I remember they flew around on things that looked like mechanical paper airplanes or gliders. They would use electrical outlets (I think) to fast transport themselves and could also go into computers, where there main battles took place. Them entering the "real world" was a huge revelation for them.
openMuscular Bugs Bunny Western Animation
Just found this pic of a jacked Bugs Bunny. Can’t find a source anywhere for it. If anyone knows, that would be appreciated.
openBart Simpson electrocuted? Western Animation
Before I watched The Simpsons, I once saw a very brief snippet on my living room TV. It appeared to show Bart getting electrocuted while saying, "YOOOOOWWW!!!", and I thought I heard a Laugh Track during this. This made me think that the show actually used a laugh track.
Just to be clear, I am not talking about the "Bart v. Cupcakes" scene, which was all I could find from searching "Bart gets electrocuted" on YouTube.
openUK 90s cartoon, talking tree Western Animation
A 2D animated TV show made in the UK circa the 1990s. There was a character who was a wise, old, talking tree. Other characters could have been talking animals, I don't remember. I remember a vague plot of an episode where the characters want to do something nice for the tree, like send it on a holiday somewhere, but they can't find something perfect for it.
The punchline at the end of the episode being the Tree saying "Trees don't go on holiday."
Any ideas?
openSeries of animated shorts that aired on Nickelodeon/Nick Jr Western Animation
All I remember about the characters is one of them is a white monkey with a red face, other is a blue lion. The intro had the monkey character with his eyes popped out I think.
openShow with tribal animals Western Animation
Hello.
I am trying to remember some old show I remember seeing snippets of from Cartoon Network, mostly limited to scattered memories or from brief ads. Could perhaps be a Hanna-Barbera show given I seem to remember it being briefly shown in one ad for their other cartoons.
From what little I remember it was about some cartoon animals, maybe bears or some kind of dogs perhaps, that followed some kind of native American, tribal lifestyle.
Now I can't say for sure if this was a full show or just a minor part of another, but this is all I can really say that I know of it. It has bothered me for years and it would be nice to finally have it identified.
openShow about (Mexican?) bugs living in a desert. Western Animation
I vaguely remember there was an animated show in the 90's about bugs living in the desert with a Tex-Mex feel. It is NOT Santo Bugito, because the colors used in the show were more neutral and natural and it didn't have singing in it. Does anyone else remember it?
openPuppet hero show? Western Animation
I’m sorry for doing this a second time in a row but… I also remember this show where a boy who was a fan of a hero that was now turned into a puppet.(through everyone [but the petty villain] before the events of the show) the boy found the puppet(I forgot when or where) and when he puts it on the puppet(/narcissistic hero) the puppet gains powers. The animation is 2d, no 3D asset(I’m pretty sure). I remember a lot more about the show than my first entry on here, I even remember what the boy, the puppet and the petty villain (which I’ve mentioned before) looks! I just need to remember the name of the show. (More about the petty villain, he wanted the here [who is now a puppet] sidekick but the hero didn’t want that so he turned the hero into a puppet).

Someone asked me if I could find a cartoon that they saw years ago. It's about three superheroes with a talking car. According to their memories, the heroes were a nerd guy in blue, a girl in pink and a muscular guy in yellow. The car was also blue and had eyes for headlights. The carton had a Monster of the Week format and looked like a hybrid between Power Rangers and Teen Titans.
