resolved Some cartoon about kids and weird rocks Western Animation
I remember this show about kids in a fantasy-ish world from around the 2000's where kids could summon creatures from rocks, and each of them had elemental powers, and there dark versions of other creatures... All in all, the more I think about it, the more it makes me think of a Slugterra prototype, except it was in traditional animation.
resolved Animated movie for kids Western Animation
There was this movie that started out with people laughing at their besiegers trying to breach the castle walls, until the besiegers pulled out a really REALLY big cannon. A baby/child was taken away while the castle fell (and was raised by gypsies?). When he was older, at one point he tricked his way past a guard using some sleight of hand with a gold coin. There was a villain who had a tendency to get so ridiculously angry that a cannon's release valve had been fitted to his head, so he could "blow off some steam". I believe at one point he was put to sleep by someone grabbing him and holding the valve open. Anyone remember this?
resolved Aliens Stranded on Earth Western Animation
So I vaguely remember a show from the late 90's/early 00's. It had a group of aliens that became stranded on Earth. They had this chair which allowed them to transform, and a weird transition that was a square spiral.
resolved Animated movie about the zodiac race Western Animation
It was shown on Disney Channel Asia c. 2006, and the main characters were Ringo the Rat and Oreo the Ox (yes, I remember their names!). It was also a musical.
resolved [Solved] Halloween movie about a ghost kid Western Animation
I remember watching this movie where these kids were trying to get their friend back to life after he steals a jack o' lantern from an old man. They had to go through different places where stuff relating to Halloween or their costumes. In the end the kids managed to get their friend back.
Edited by Animaltamerresolved English cartoon Western Animation
I only know it was English because I found info about on the web at one point. Anyway i'm looking for this cartoon that was on during the early 90's in the Netherlands though it probably originally was from the 80's. It was about this group of kids and stray dog who had adventures in the dreamworld, in their dreams all the kids had superpowers and the dog could talk. I think it was named after the stay dog.
resolved A weird TV show about science fiction adventures involving a secret agency and a boy genius Western Animation
I saw this as a kid and it was weird, the kid's gadgets were of course based off of toys. And from what I can recall it was just called "The Boy".
resolved Disney show starring a green alien Western Animation
It was released sometime in the early 2000s and the main character, I think, is a green alien in a red-and-white striped shirt.
resolved cartoon with aliens and psychics Western Animation
As the title says I'm looking for a cartoon, probably from the 90s/early 2000's though it may be older as that is when it aired in the Netherlands, about aliens and psychics. Also one of of the main characters was an alienabductee and could turn his arms into steel
resolved An old animated cartoon involving a human boy, an elephant girl, and many songs Western Animation
When I was four or five, so like say 2005, I had this short animated film on video tape. I think it was probably made in the 90's. It was about this little elephant girl (I think it was an elephant) who was on her way to an animal fair with her friend. The film featured many classic childhood songs such as I Wish I Was a Fish (sung by the elephant after she gets stung by a bee in her trunk), I Went To the Animal Fair, Aikendrum, a song about police sung by two gophers, a song sung about a lazy girl, and a song in the beginning that went something like "It's a hap, hap, happy day, so come on let's sing and play. Sing a song that feels just right, sing a song that's happy and bright...". At the very end. the elephant girl met a boy and they floated in a hot air balloon together while singing about holding hands.
Edited by Loopytires55resolved Three cartoons Western Animation
I saw each of these cartoon during the nineties in the Netherlands but that doesn't mean much.
The first one was about a wish granting alien with a star shaped sidekick. The antagonists were a witch with her pet vulture and a gang of aliens who could transform into different objects.
The second involved a human couple living a town of red white and blue people. Since the town produces paint the rulers made sure that all the colors hated each other to keep the paints they sold pure. But somehow the humans had a cupid, there were other cupids in the show as well but they were minor characters, who used his arrows to make the different colors get along.
The final cartoon was about a girl who I believe was originally from Earth and lived in a world with giant strawberries. She was good friends with the prince but the queen didn't like her.I don't think it was Strawberry Shortcake
resolved Shorts about a cat Western Animation
Once again I can't give an exact time of release but in the Netherlands it aired during the nineties. It was a western animation style cartoon about an alleycat on his last life. The gimmick was that every time he said a number from one to eight the ghost of that life showed up generally to "help" him, I only remember that #1 was a stereotypical caveman cat maybe with a club and dinosaur I'm not so sure. Whenever he said nine however a giant floating 9 appeared and attempted to kill him. As the title says the episodes were all shorts.
resolved [Solved - It was Siegfried and Roy all along] Western Animation
OK, this might be hard.
I rented it on a VHS back in the late 90s. It was a Swords and Sorcery show (the VHS had like 4 or so eps) and I remember it being pretty inventive in its designs. Kinda reminded me of pirates of Dark Water. Alas I have no idea where it could have aired. The art style was late 80s-90s, definitely not 70s. Could've been American or European, but probably not Japanese.
What I do remember:
- It followed multiple characters in multiple places.
- At one point there was this castle which was surrounded by a crack in the Earth, which no one could cross. And the hero had to prepare for some time and then jumped it with his horse.
- One of the villains was this monster, who had two faces in its palms (or its chest, my memory fails me) with one being female and the other male. It's main plot was corrupting some king or duke or something into taking some artifact somewhere and it appeared occasionally in its true form, while mostly being disguised as a woman or advisor.
Edited by Shirokurouresolved No Title Western Animation
An All-CGI Cartoon I saw sometime in the late 2000s, or maybe the early 10s. I'm pretty sure it was aired on Cartoon Network.
I don't know if it was a Halloween special, or just a Halloween Episode of a pre-existing show, but I think it was the former, because it didn't resemble any show Id ever heard of.
The only thing I can remember is this: There are these kids preparing to go trick-or-treating, and they're waiting for their friend to come. Suddenly, the friend, dressed as a Big Red Devil, jumps out from behind a bush and says dramatically, "Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear!"
Does anyone know what this might be?
resolved No Title Western Animation
It was a cartoon series; not sure about the original language, which I saw around 15-20 years ago in Israel. The name was something akin to "Losers". It was about a family and their pets, 5-10 minutes long I think. One episode I remember was about them releasing a genie from a bottle. Apparently, the genie was a real failure in granting wishes, and was banished from his family until he could perform three wishes properly. So, wish one was to do homework for a kid. There were answers like "2+2=147", but the kid said he makes mistakes all the time. The second wish was bones for the dog - the dog was buried under a huge pile of bones, but the genie was told there is no such thing as too many bones for this dog. The third wish was for the genie to return home.
resolved No Title Western Animation
OK, this was a show that aired on Cartoon Network UK in the 90s in the morning I think.
It was old 70-80 in style I think. And quite possibly French. Similar, but not Ulysses.
The premise was that there was this group of people on a spaceship that looked kinda like an AT-AT only with a more smooth oval head unit, which glowed red when it was talking (yes it talked).
Episodes sometimes had the team stuck on some planet/world and then ship would be out of service, they bum around and fix the ship somehow and jump to another world.
I can't recall the team at all, the only ones I remember are the bearded guy, who once stole some hover bike for a chase or something.
And the only character I remember clearly besides the ship was a woman, slightly tanned skin, dressed in white and wearing a white hat and she had this gold/light brown button between her neck and her shoulder, which would allow her to do telepathy, illusions or that kinda stuff.
Please help if you know.

This was an old cartoon series I saw in Israel, don't know the original language... they were searching for some wizards (or ancient astronauts or something like that) there, the main characters were an owl (I think), a worm (in Israel, the cartoon was named after him), and a young man who was somehow connected to a giant diamond ( Much larger than a man. I didn't see the first episode, but I think he was born from that diamond. Toward the end, the main villain took that diamond, and some Ungoliant like servant of his was gradually corrupting it with its venom, IIRC. The man died four times from that).
Edited by Omeganianresolved No Title Western Animation
It was an animated film I saw perhaps 15 years ago. I remember it featured a child (a girl, IIRC), a kind, older looking giant in whose pocket the child was hiding at one point, and a group of evil, ugly, troll like giants who were as big compared to the first giant as he was to humans.

I think it's Western Animation.
There was a kids' cartoon way back around 2000-2002. It had ghosts as characters and a haunted house setting. No, it wasn't Casper.
I remember an episode being about one of the ghosts finding a weather machine and using it to annoying the other ghosts by changing the weather repeatedly.
I know that's really vague, but tell me any suggestions you can find of it.

I recall a show about these dinosaur kids and they told stories, usually classic tales. I remember one was the Emporer's New Clothes, another was Rapunzel and another was the Midas Touch. Anyone else remember?
