resolved [Solved] Scientist named Henderson has his research questioned. Film
This was a made-for-TV movie, from The '70s, I think. A scientist named Henderson is doing research into contagions. His pretty lab assistant mindlessly pours a dud batch down a drain without sterilizing it first. The scientist shrugs it off, but the girl has angst over it. The girl's boyfriend despises the scientist, and does a soapbox speech at a campus protest. The man starts out like he's praising Jesus, but takes the approach that runaway germs that overrun the world would regard Henderson as their god. "And every day, I would say, 'Thank you, Henderson! Thank you, Henderson!'" The girl almost leaves her beau to bed Henderson, but at the last moment, goes back to her beau. Does anyone remember what this TV movie was named?

I remember this Sci-fi movie starring Justin Timberlake where he is in the future and they use their lifetime as currency. When they purchase something, it costs years of their lives.
resolved Olivia The Pig Episode (solved) Western Animation
I’m looking for an episode of Olivia the pig where she’s in class, and the teacher is talking, but Olivia raises her hand. The teacher then sings a song with the words “when I’m talking, no hands in the sky.” Does anyone know what episode this is? Edit: I found it it’s called Olivia Goes International.
Edited by Gamergirl101resolved Anime with a girl fighting two colorful monsters Anime
When I was younger, I watched part of a scene from an anime randomly on TV, but I never learned what the name was because it was a random scene. There was a girl who saw another girl with her parents. The first girl was then chased by then couple, and all of a sudden, these slimes emerge from the mom and the dad that form into two demon monsters with long claws (one red and one blue), which caused the parents to collapse; apparently they were being possessed by the monsters. The girl fights these monsters, but then the monsters embrace and fuse into a larger purple monster. So the girl fights this thing with magic or something and destroys it, and this causes the girl and her parents to wake up all better. I tried to search for it, but I couldn't find it. What is this anime?

Edited by Gamergirl101resolved Riding Dragons before it was considered cool. Also fighting Orc-like bad guys. Western Animation
There was a classic-drawn fantasy animation set in sort of a post-apocalyptic world where humans rode dragons. They fought some sort of Orc-ish demons who also rode their own dragons. While it was mostly fantasy, there were a lot of technology elements, namely armors and some antagonist had something akin to a lava cannon. The show was brimming with tusked faces, skulls and bats. I vaguely remember a swarm of lizard-like critters with bat wings and one bad guy had a scouting pet in a form of one-eyed dark bat.
resolved Fashion Manga where lady gets tutored by man Print Comic
Manga I read in my teens two volumes in; I know for a fact that one of the American publishers of the 2000s licensed it.
Basically it’s about some teenage/adult? Girl who wants to get better at picking up dates, so she seeks the help of some fashion expect. He had black hair I believe.
In the 1st volume, she wears an outfit that the fashion tutor to an admirer, but he says “something came up”. She heard him on the phone criticizing her outfit, and he finds out immediately . She almost gets kidnapped by this guy, but the fashion tutor saves her.
There’s also a big plot about her falling in love with and giving up a himbo to the fashion tutor’s sister.
At the end of the 2nd volume, after a basketball game, she realizes she has feelings for her tutor.
resolved ww2 holocaust movie Film
So I remember watching a movie set during the holocaust all in German and I think maybe another non English European language. But, from my memory it follows a young jewish boy trying to escape the Germans and one scene in particular I remember is he is working on a farm and his left arm gets damaged in an accident and he gets taken to the hospital but the German nurses leave him in the hallway on a stretcher because he is a jew and when a doctor finds out he screams at them for leaving him there and takes the boy into surgery and I think he does wind up losing his arm. I remember watching it on either Prime Video or Netflix probably 6-8 years ago.

Where is this laugh

resolved 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 A web animation where Modern Sonic goes back in time with Tails Web Original
Several years ago I remember seeing a. 2d-animated web animation about sonic going back in time with Tails and meets Classic Sonic in the year 1991.
When the two meet Modern Sonic tells classic Sonic about all the friends he has met (Knuckles and shadow). He describes Knuckles as having the IQ of Tinfoil and shadow as having no personality outside of folding his arms
Classic Sonic replies that those people sound like the lamest group of jackasses on the planet and that he never hopes to meet any of them. This causes tails to fade from existence.
resolved German animated cartoon
It's about three boys and the funny and messed up things they do together. It was made for adults, it also contained drugs and sexual references as well I think. It aired around 2002 I think, on RTL 2, just before Dragon Ball Z started at 20:00, and of course, it was also in German. And each episode was around five minutes only. It had a catchy intro...And, the title of the show portrayed the name of the three boys: Ingo, Dingo... My memory is foggy of their names.
resolved Animated black and white Retraux commercial with a spaceship Western Animation
Several years ago (early 2010s) I remember seeing this black and white animated commercial .I think it was a commercial for insurance. It was animated in a style similar to Popeye or Bendy and throughout the commerical the characters were singing.
The commercial ended with the characters flying in a rocketship to the moon (or whatever).
Can someone please tell me the name of the commercial?
Edited by monkeyheroine

All I remember is one episode where a girl buys a plant that was laced with something from a dealer who had a song, and sees a giant made of weed who also sings.
