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 Dinosaur Story Telling Western Animation
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?
resolved the world around you is not what it seems Western Animation
I'm looking for the intro of a cartoon that either starts with the line "the world around you is not what it seems" or "the world around us is not what it seems" and might end the second line with dreams. I know that is not a lot but it's all I got
Edited by dutchguy1986resolved Weird cartoon on DVD Western Animation
Basically my nan had dozens of DV Ds me and my siblings used to watch when I went over to her house. They were mostly from late 90s to mid 2000s (Sonic Underground, Ant bully, Digimon adventure). One of these shows I cannot remember the title of, and have not seen at all since. It was about a boy and a girl I think. I'm pretty sure they were brother and sister. I don't exactly remember what they look like, but they gave off raggedy Ann / Andy vibes (similar colour scheme). There was also a professor character, who had a white shirt, a red vest, a blue graduation cap (I think), with white air and a long, rectangular, postman-pat like head. We wore round glasses, and had a cylindrical nose. I think there may have also been some yellow on him, but I am unsure. There was also a 'mascot' character. The kind with a really simple design that pretty much spoke in gibberish. I think he just white, small and fluffy. With that cereal-mascot face. He had no interesting features. No ears or tail or anything. Just stubby arms and legs, and a face. There were probably other characters, but I have no clue what they look like. The only episode that I can remember was one where one of the siblings (the girl I think) wanted to grow some flowers, so the professor guy made a greenhouse for her, as well as some fertiliser. The mascot guy ate or like bathed in the fertiliser and ending up becoming a giant or something. I don't remember how this plot actually concluded.
One thing to add is that this DVD was likely made in the UK, but it's possible it never aired on TV, since I can't find any promos for it.
I hope that I can actually find out what show this is one day. So, if anyone on here can help me find it, that'd be great :)
All the best
resolved Chinese Zodiac Warriors Western Animation
There was this series, I think it was on Nickelodeon, where there were some warriors that got power from some armbands that represented the chinese zodiac, and the main character had the dragon armband. But there were also a dark version of each one, and the Big Bad used the protagonist's twin sister as a minion, and gave her the dark dragon armband.
resolved 90s cartoon film about kids in pajamas Western Animation
Hi there. My coworker has been trying to find this film on and off for years, but she can't remember the title. It was rented from a video store in Germany in roughly 1994 (so it could be from anywhere before or maybe a bit after that period) on VHS. It was most likely an American film as it was in English and rented from a video store she believes was on an American military base. She described it as involving a group of four or five children, a mix of boys and girls. They all wore pajamas. She mentioned a clubhouse being involved, and they solved problems. I'm inclined to believe it was direct-to-VHS, and so is she. She described the cover as featuring some (or perhaps all of) the main character kids, and the title in big bold letters. She also described it as looking like the classic Alvin and the Chipmunks sort of animation or art style. It's not Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland; that was my first guess and she looked at it and said it wasn't that one. I'll be crossposting this to TOMT on Reddit as well. EDIT: She also distinctly remembers it having "dreamland" in the title.
Edited by bigshotresolved Cartoon about monsters Western Animation
This used to be on Cartoon Network I think. The show's plot was that monsters were real and the main characters had some as pets. There was also a goth girl who looked like a boy and people would call her a boy. In turn she would scream "I'M A GIRL (person's name)! I'M A GIRL!"
resolved Charlie Brown & Snoopy - "Dear Joe Claus" Western Animation
I swear there's a line in the old Charile Brown and Snoopy Show, but I don't know what episode it's in.
Sally is writing to Santa and begins her letter to him "Dear Joe Claus". Charlie Brown corrects her, both hear something on the roof, and he says its probably "the TV repairman". Cut to Snoopy in a scoutmaster outfit on the roof, in the rain, followed by Woodstock and some other birds.
Ring any bells for anyone?
resolved Beast People? Western Animation
Ok so I didn’t actually watch it, which is gonna make this a lot harder.
Im pretty sure it was on Netflix.
It wasn’t in English, not originally atleast, but I watched the intro in English so it had a dub option.
It was animated, but not 3D or traditional 2D. Kinda Wolf King or Arcane style? Or it was live action and I’m just dumb-
I can’t remember the plot well, I think there were these beast folk that liked to off people?
And the opening scene of the first episode was a close up of the Queen talking about an intruder I think?
I think they may have been called Wulvers or something along those lines.
Edit! It was Klek’s Academy

resolved SpongeBob episode Western Animation
I'm trying to find a Sponge Bob episode where a character gets their eyes stuck in a door and looks inside the room with their eyes, that look like telescopes. It might be the treasure episode where Sponge Bob and Patrick were touching the map with their eyes.
Edited by sassyelliott2403resolved Mummy people Western Animation
I'm looking for a movie about some mummy guys that end up in a modern city (I'm assuming New York). And the girl starts a music career.
Also the main characters were betrothed because of a phoenix.
Edited by ElBuenCuateresolved President's Day Bumper Western Animation
Around the mid-to-late 2000s, I remember seeing a bumper celebrating President's Day on a children's network, which I believe to be Nickelodeon. I remember it being animated like a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch in that it used very crude cut-outs, and the premise was George Washington and Abraham Lincoln getting into an argument over which of them is the real face of President's Day in song form. One scene I remember very vividly was George as a quarter flicking away Lincoln as a penny into the Lincoln Memorial, where upon the penny lands on the chair and transforms into the statue. The thing is, I can't find it for the life of me online. Can anyone here find it?
resolved SpongeBob image origin Western Animation
What Spongebob episode is this image from? I found it floating around Reddit a few weeks back.
resolved specific line from gravity falls Western Animation
i swear i remember a scene with blendin blandin being asked "is someone paying you every time you say the word 'time'?", but i can't find it on youtube or any of the fandom.com transcripts for the episodes he's in.
resolved Data collector for apocalypse Western Animation
I remember watching an animated short film about a guy tasked with compiling an encyclopedia of human knowledge before an asteroid destroys the earth. He's offered a spot on a rocket carrying a group of survivors and spends years writing before running out of storage space. Then he starts cutting and revising and eventually decides Cat Stevens isn't notable enough to have his own entry. At the very end he gives up his spot on the rocket and decides to spend his last day on earth with his wife. This whole time she's been trying to cook (including catfish) but kept failing.
resolved Direct to video movie? Western Animation
I remember a movie that I think was an adaptation es Sleeping Beauty. Just that, when the princess was born, there were seven fairies who swore to protect her, but they apparently had to leave one by one and she ends up with only one fairy for life.
resolved Film about robots that was on Hulu, train scene in a montage... (NOT "ROBOTS") Western Animation
This movie I remember watching in elementary school. If I recall, it was about a duo of two robots. I vividly remember one of the robots being large, bulky, and sort of intimidating. It looked like Blue Sky's "Robots" but the art style was somewhat darker and grungy.
There was a montage where I believe the duo were doing good deeds. One of them involved them being on a railroad track where a speeding train was approaching them. I don't remember what happened next or anything else about this movie.

My sibling and I are trying to come up with a clay-mation show that probably aired in the late 90s/early 2000s on TV when we were kids because it had a distinctive intro tune that still gets stuck in their head years later (and is now stuck in mine 😅). The best we can figure is that:
Does that sound like it might ring a bell for anyone else?
