This was a stop motion show that was on Teletoon in the early 00's. It was on before Futurama, I think. It was a fake news show that parodied all kinds of things. The two news anchors were a brown-haired man with an ordinary, simple name, and a blonde woman with a long name/lots of middle names/hyphenated last name. Her first name was Debbie Sue, I'm pretty sure.

I can't recall the title of a show where a group of secret government agents battled aliens, cryptids and other weird stuff like that. Two of the agents were:
- a psychic chick with black hair with a white streak. Whenever she used her powers, her eyes glowed green.
- an Ambiguously Brown muscle guy with mohawk. His name was Moose and due to alien experiments (IIRC) he could turn his body into metal.
All agents wore black suits with colored trims - IIRC Moose's had purple trim.

I saw an episode of this cartoon once, probably in the 90's. It was about insects, and the main characters were skateboarding insect teenagers. In the episode I saw, the insect kids' elderly neighbour or grandfather or something had accidentally gotten sick from poison. It made him change colors. Oh, and I think he might have been an absent-minded professor type, I'm not sure. Anyway, the kids go to a weevil lady for help, and she makes them go collect ingredients for an antidote. One was a tooth from a Venus flytrap, one was a petal from some flower, and one I forget but I think they ended up running away from a bird after getting it. The weevil lady makes the antidote and gives it to them in a bottle, but while they're skateboarding back to deliver it, they accidentally drop it and it breaks. They go back to the weevil lady and she offers to heal him herself, but for a price that she doesn't name yet. She returns with them to the guy, and she kisses him on the nose or the forehead, drawing the poison out. In the end of the show, the kids are teaching her to skateboard, and as she pushes off, they wonder why she asked for this in return for her help. Cue the weevil lady chasing after the professor-guy on the skateboard and teasing him, saying "How about another kiss?"

It was on probably in the late 90s or early 00s. There was this one normal guy, and everyone else was some kind of monster or creature. The only thing I remember happening in it was the guy talking about aglets. That sticks in my head because that cartoon was the only reason I knew what an aglet was.
I'm fairly certain it was a series. But for all I know it may have been a movie.

This is an animated movie that I saw in the early/mid 90's on one Saturday afternoon, probably some kind of ABC special. I didn't watch the whole thing, but from what I remember:
The protagonist was a young girl and the antagonist was an old lady that was likely some kind of cyborg or gynoid — she had Hypnotic Eyes that she used to pass herself off to people as their Aunt (name forgotten), after which they would immediately act as though they knew her. She didn't hypnotize the girl, but she did hypnotize the girl's parents.
Later, the girl and the "Aunt" are at a grocery store. The girl talks about not knowing what the prizes are in cereal boxes, so the Aunt starts opening the boxes in the aisle. When a worker comes by to intervene, she hypnotizes him into doing the same.
The last scene I remember involves the girl spying on the Aunt from above (in a treehouse?) The Aunt is investigating a cactus, gets some needles stuck in her hand/arm, and then deposits them in a hidden compartment also in her arm.

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 SImba + Book of the Jungle + Bambi expy? Western Animation
I think this show was produced from that era in the late seventies/early eighties that saw a lot of collaboration between French or Belgian animation studios and Japanese ones. It has actually been answered once here on the previous version of this page. The French version borrowed several character names from the Book of the Jungle. The most striking feature was an odd "magical power" of the main characters, a lion cub and deer foal, who had marks (stars and leaves) in the shape of the two Dippers that would appear on their chest.

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'm looking for a kids show I used to watch in the early 2000s.
Essentially, a unicorn controlled a land with a magical gate. Some other characters included a tiger and a dragon, but that's all I remember. The magical gate would sometimes appear in the "real" world whenever someone gets into trouble and needs time to think about his problems. He or she would sort things out in this magical land beyond the gate and would return to the real world once he learned a moral lesson.
I can almost recall two episode plots: one where a kid was in a race with a bus and one where a medieval knight had to gain the respect of his friends by capturing a dragon.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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.

This wasn't actually a cartoon but a fanfiction for Avatar, the Last Airbender (I noticed there wasn't a fanfic category). It was an AU fic set in the late 1930s in East Asia, starting with Sokka and Katara as Mongolian vilagers, Aang as a recently-thawed Tibetan monk, and Zuko as a disgraced member of the Japanese Imperial family and colonel in the Imperial Japanese Army. I left off when they wound up in China due to Aang learing to use one of his powers and meet Suki and her band of resistance fighters. Sokka was a big fan of swing music, Appa was a motorcycle, and Momo is a real-life rodent. Azula is in charge of Unit 731, and is a rival to Zhou. Aang had some spritual visions which I'm half-sure were premonitions of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Very well-written and mature. Can anyone help me out?
