resolved Cartoon with a cow and other thing in it? Western Animation
I only watched one episode when I was little, and didn't see the ending because I got scared. There was two characters, and one was a cow. I don't remember what the other was but he probably wasn't human. They went back in time to before there was life, and meet an evil guy. The evil guy shows them a puddle and explains how it's the puddle of creation or something like that, and that everything dropped in it changes history. He then drops a coin in it. The cow and other guy go back to present and now everyone has a coin for a head. They go back in time and the evil guy tries to dip the cow's udders in the puddle. At this point I got too scared to watch.
resolved Fox Kids shorts about a monkey that lived with two kids Western Animation
It was a series of shorts that were aired in Fox Kids' commercial breaks. The intro despicted a monkey spitting (the spit is colored green, by the way) in a mad scientist's face and running away from his creepy lab. Then he shows up on some kids' (brother and sister, if I recall correctly) house and they adopt him, while hiding him from their parents. The episodes themselves had little, maybe nothing to do with the mad scientist - they were mainly about the boy, the girl and the monkey doing some shenanigans. The humor was a little crude, with a lot of spitting from the monkey, when he got scared or angry. I also remember he said some words here and there, but he didn't really talk as the human characters. The only episode I remember is the one in which the boy is angry because he has a pimple on his forehead. His sister tells him not to try to pop it up or it will only get bigger, but he insists in doing so, in front of a mirror. The pimple grows to ridiculous proportions and pops, throwing pus everywhere. The monkey laughs at the boy, who gets back at him by squeezing his pimple again, shooting pus on the monkey. The monkey strikes back by spitting on the boy and I guess the episode ends with them shooting pus and spit in each other. Other than that, I think that the show's title is the monkey's name, but I'm not that sure.
Edit: I considered they may have aired those shorts only in Latin America, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Edited by VicShooterresolved hunchback of the notre dame Western Animation
Back in the 90's there aired a cartoon based on the hunchback of the notre dame in the Netherlands. It wasn't based on the disney version and in fact had a more darker artstyle. I remember Quasimodo quoting something his mother used to say about how the twisted oak grows the strongest. I hope this is info for something to find what I'm looking for
resolved mystery cartoon Western Animation
I'm looking for a cartoon about I think a smalltown reporter who solved supernatural mysteries with the help of three comedy relief ghost sidekicks. I remember the ghosts being afraid of water because they apparently suffered from wicked witch of the west disease and would melt.
resolved Old cartoon (80s-90s) with character in green hat? Western Animation
I believe it was either a British show or some kind of European, and most of all I can remember is there was a male character that wore a pointy green hat and a green coat. He had a deep voice and I specifically remember scenes with him walking around and sitting in the forest? That's all I remember
resolved Weird Cartoon Western Animation
It was a story about a fantasy world where a king hired various different knights to kill a dragon, it aired on Teletoon (Canadian broadcaster) years ago. Anyone got any idea what it is?
resolved Cooking Show with Animated Host (SOLVED) Western Animation
Does anyone know about a certain cooking show with an animated host that aired on CBC on Sunday mornings in the mid-2000’s? It would show live-action footage of a guy making the food, and there was a whistling tune that played in the background throughout the show.
Edited by MisterToodleooresolved '90s Goofy short Western Animation
Looking for a Goofy short from the Micke Mouse Works/House of Mouse era where Goofy is told on what was trendy in The '60s, The '70s, The '80s, and The '90s before being told on what is trendy at the then-present day.
Asking as that episode would fit into the Progressive Era Montage.
resolved Dinosaur SWAT Team? Western Animation
I remember a cartoon from around the mid nineties, about a trio of dinosaurs that had SWAT-like equipment and weapons, including a van. It was a comedy, with cartoonish designs for the characters and Amusing Injuries, so not your average Teenage Mutant Samurai Wombats show. One of the dinosaurs was a green Parasaurolophus (with the Elvis-like crest) and the others likely a purple triceratops and red T.Rex. I don't remember the villains, though.
This thing has been driving me insane, I'm kinda worried I imagined it or dreamed about it when I was a kid.
resolved Sensor-Autodog Western Animation
What comic is this panel from?
It looks like a regular Silver age panel in setting, but the inking is a bit too well-done for that era, the robot design is more sophisticated than DC, and the "big leg in foreground" layout didn't seem to be too common back then, either.
Google images won't help.
resolved Short animation Western Animation
About 35-40 years ago, I was at a friend's house and happened to see this short animation. It started with a long line of men just standing next to each other, and one man would elbow the man to his left who would in turn elbow the man to his left and so on until they got to the last man who was standing on the edge of a precipice. The last man would then lose his balance and fall over and the entire line would shift one step to the left and start again. The next time, just as the man on the end was about to be elbowed over the precipice, he started doing some sort of performance, doing things like juggling and the like. Then he walked down the precipice, you hear a car starting and then driving off. The man who was next to him elbows the guy on his right and grunts, pointing his thumb over his shoulder at where the guy just was. This repeats down the line until they reach the last guy who was also on the edge of a precipice and he loses his balance and falls over. Then the entire line just shifts to the right and starts again. Does anyone know what show that was from, or even better if there's a YouTube video of it?
Edited by euphgeekresolved Drawing Faces... (Solved!) Western Animation
An episode/story of a children's show, targeted at young audiences, most likely western animation though there's a slight chance it might have been a puppet show. The main character goes to a class to learn how to draw something, pretty sure it was faces. However, when he starts attending the class, he is confused and frustrated because the teacher isn't having the class draw faces, just shapes and stuff, and even says something like "I don't want you to even think about drawing faces." After several weeks of this, he gets annoyed to the point that he almost wants to quit the class. However, the teacher eventually does have the class start drawing faces and he realizes that the fundamentals he learned in drawing the shapes and everything were necessary in order to be able to draw the faces. I think he may also end up applying this to a kid he's trying to coach in baseball, helping that kid to see that they need to learn the fundamentals before they can start hitting homers.
Edited by JMQwilleranresolved Adult cartoon Western Animation
I remember a scene about this cartoon. I think it was an adult cartoon, more like The Simpsons than South Park.
A husband and wife go to an insurance company and the agent offers a nice plan for the widow. Then the husband has an Imagine Spot of his wife in a fancy mansion already with another man, asking him to make her forget about her husband, while throqing her cigarretes on his own ashes. And then he simply asks the agent for more plans.

Edited by dutchguy1986resolved Orpheus and Eurydice animation SOLVED - Prophet and Lo$$ Western Animation
This is a 2D cel animated cartoon that was shown several times late at night on Channel 4 in the UK. This would be late '80s/early '90s, back in the days when they used to commission and show original animation.
It was a modern take on the Orpheus and Eurydice/Orpheus in the Underworld story. The animation and characters were very stylised and it took place in a modern city. The art was black and white (though the cartoon was probably made in the late 1980s). There were a number of repeated loops in the cartoon - I remember a crane carrying girders at the top of a tall building repeating.
The characters were also stylised. Orpheus wore a porkpie hat and Eurydice had spiky hair. Hades was represented by a machine that made a noise a bit like a factory whistle.
There was no dialogue, but there was a catchy soundtrack featuring a bass guitar line. A harp was heard whenever Eurydice appeared.
I think a shortened version may have been shown on MTV.
I've tried searching for this, but keep coming up with other animated versions of the Orpheus and Eurydice story.
Edited by Aspectiferresolved Animated series at pet store, on Angry Birds Toons channel (Solved: Pound Puppies 2010)) Western Animation
Years ago, but not that long ago, back when I played Angry Birds games, I'd also tune into that Angry Birds Toons/TV channel?? that was accessible next to the play button on the main screen. Recently this year when I opened up Bad Piggies, the TV button now redirects to the official Angry Birds You Tube channel I believe, so I assume that special place that showcased other cartoons along with animated series based off the Angry Birds game itself is pretty much gone.
I'm trying to remember one of those other cartoons that was there.
From what I remember, it revolved around animals, pets to be precise, and the adventures they had that humans were unaware of. So like The Secret Life of Pets, but at a pet store. It's entirely possible that they made their own secret agency of sorts under the grounds of said pet store, but don't count too much on that fact in case I'm mixing that up for another piece of media. I'm 70% sure that was the case however.
Out of the faint memories I have of the show, there's 2 episodes I remember more clearly. In one episode, an adopted doppelganger of one of the main crew, an unadopted canine at the pet store, accidentally swapped places. It's resolved in the end, I recall the ending scene having happened outdoors at night on a train track, the doppelganger becomes an ally of the good guys and was sometimes seen again in other episodes.
The other episode revolved around the main animal crew trying to help a puppy who was having trouble getting adopted permanently? because he was concealing his true wants and personality by immitating his owners, or something among those lines. Which reminds me of another detail which connects to the "agency" idea; the to-be-pets had technology which analysed the how much a pet's personality matched with a human to deduct potential pet owners. Closer to the end of that episode, some of the main crew, particularly the main dog and (perhaps it was) a cat on lookout suspended from a vent, had to infiltrate the main office to get to that puppy, and the dog encourages the puppy to show its true colors to find an owner that'll love him forever. Hesitant, the puppy warns him that he wouldn't like what he had to say, or something among those lines. His secret was never explicitly stated until he was carried outside, and between shots which concealed the puppy telling the main character the truth, a crowd of people outside were impatiently awaiting to see the puppy, though I can't be quite sure how that happened. Upon the special puppy finally being brought outside, with full confidenc, willingness and a signal from the main canine, the puppy meowed. Yup that happened, but apparently he just liked acting like a cat. Most of the public isn't all that pleased, and feel a bit cheated if anything, but there was one boy who was lightly shown throughout the episode who loved the puppy the way it was, and adopted him. Permanently this time around.
Edited by BlackFaithStarresolved (Solved) Phineas and Ferb Episode. Western Animation
I’m looking for a Phineas and Ferb episode. In it, Major Monogram briefs Perry on TV. Than Lawrence see it, so Major Monogram pretends he’s helping raise money for some fake condition. What episode is this?
Edited by Gamergirl101

I don't remember many details, but there were a bunch of dogs that were set to inherit a mansion, but they had to fight against some Half-Identical Twins that were literally blue. They needed to remain in the mansion for one night and whichever group left last would keep it.
