resolved Puppet Airship Live Action TV
I seem to recall a show (possibly educational) about these puppet animals who lived on an airship.
There were transition scenes where I saw the airship rendered in CGI.
resolved Girl and Boy on a Train Western Animation
Children's cartoon, possibly of UK origin, circa the late 1990s.
The setting felt Victorian/Turn-of-the-Century and focused of two characters: A little girl with dark hair, pale skin and a red dress and a young boy (who I think was poorer) with red hair, pale skin and a brown waistcoat suit. There may have been an older character who was a relative of the little girl who minded them.
The tone was grounded, don't really recall the story, but they went from place to place, I think. The art style, if I recall correctly, felt sort of like moving storybook illustrations. Sketchy, colourful, looked like colouring pencils and watercolour.
I definitely watched this a few times when I was very young, but all I really remember is the intro: the girl and the boy are on a train, with the carriage windows down. I think they go through an tunnel and the boy's face gets covered in soot.
resolved Children's show with flower people and a train
Might be some kind of a puppet animation or normal animation, i'm not sure. I think the characters spoke gibberish and there was the line "Oopsy daisy!" as some kind of a catchphrase?
At least one of then was a humanoid flower person, with the flower's yellow middle as the head and the petals around the head. Some of the others were more ambiguous humanoid entities.
One of the entities was blue and somehow associated with a train. It was small, more like some kind of a mall train for children?
resolved 2000s comedy film Film
a comedy film about four guys helping a young boy who's getting bullied?
all I really remember is that the climax is a big fantasy/medieval re-enactment/fight thing where the four guys dress up as the band Kiss and fight the main antagonist
resolved old Werewolf anime film Anime
old (think 90s/80s) anime film about a woman who falls in love with a werewolf and has two kids, a daughter and a son, with him. the werewolf dies at some point, and the woman and her two kids move out into the country and work on a farm? the woman's daughter accidentally bites someone at school, and the son feels increasingly disconnected from his human side, eventually leaving the family at the end of the film.
resolved Children's novel Literature
This was a novel I read in elementary school some time in the early- to mid-1990s. It was about a student who had learning challenges, especially in math, and an active imagination when he came home from school.
He had to see the guidance counselor, who helped him, but she got in trouble when she pointed him towards a Buddhist book (something along the lines of "Zen and the Art of Home Construction").
resolved Weird Netflix show with 3D animated bears Western Animation
Around 2009-2010 there was a show on Netflix revolving around a family of bears.
The main character, an older sister, was hyped about the trip to the amusement park with her family.
Suddenly, her younger sister becomes completely sick and the trip is forced to be cancelled.
She wishes how she didn't have a sister to worry about anymore. Some sort of being comes to her and tells her how much she'd miss having a sister.
They go over some sorta flashback of all the times she's loved her sister.
Eventually, she gets over not being able to go on the trip and it ends with a happy ending.
resolved You play as a robot wearing a red cloak, with a golem as an ally Videogame
See title, but I remember the intro pretty well: the golem opens a vault containing your character, revealing that the world is covered in purple goo of some kind. After some basic tutorials, the goo attacks the PC, and the golem has to cut off their arm, replacing the robot's missing arm with one of their own. Additionally, your character has a sword, and it had some platforming elements, as well as an upgrade system.
resolved Movie about stroke victim Film
I remember as a kid seeing a movie about a stroke victim. There's an early scene where a young guy in his 20s is at a gym and suddenly can't pick up a dumbbell. He stumbles around a bit before collapsing. Someone calls 911 and as the guy is wheeled away on a gurney he starts vomiting. Later in the movie after he's recovered, he's in a college class but his brain is still a bit screwy so he can't focus, so he packs up his stuff and leaves.
resolved looking for old shows that aired in my country once in the 2000s Anime
the shows that I rememeber briefly that ran between I think 2000 and 2009
1-one that is basically zorro but futuristic 2d style with the zorro character being a rebel leader. 2-one is either an anime that was dubbed or a western anime style show about a squad I remember the first episode where one of the main character had her entire squad slaughtered and one of them was killed with a pistol by the enemy while his plane was upside down.
resolved RPGMaker(?) Game set in a monster-filled office Videogame
I played it years ago and I can't remember the name, but I do recall a lot of details. I think all the characters were anthropomorphic animals, and you were a new office worker. The atmosphere was very bleak; it seemed like a satire for oppressive work culture. Early on in the game, you get a revolver in order to fight invisible monsters in your company. You had to listen for sounds, and then hit a key; the game would shift to a first-person perspective, and you had to listen closely for where the sound would be centered to hit the monster.
resolved Neil Young quote
All I remember about this piece of media is a conversation going something like this.
Person A: Neil Young is a national treasure.
Person B: He's Canadian.
Edited by CosmicGhostresolved Show about a dog organization Western Animation
There was this show I remember as a kid (late 90s early 00s), where there was this underground base where dogs did stuff. I remember one had to do with water being wasted.
The main dog could also communicate with the big boss via the toilet.
Found it The Secret Files of The Spy Dogs
Edited by LadyJuseresolved Fever dream soviet-russian(?) movie Film
I remember watching it a couple times; it's, as far as I know, only in Russian, so I don't know if anyone here has even heard of it but it's worth a shot. It had some guitarist guy get transported (I don't remember how) onto some barren desert planet. He finds (two?) other guys who have some kind of flying machine that is essentially a porta-potty-sized giant tin can with helicopter blades on top. All sorts of weird stuff happens along the way, including our main guy getting abandoned and taken back by the other two, some underground industrial complex being found, and other weird fever-dream-esque shenanagins.
The main guy later comes back home (just normal real life) and I think at the end finds one of the guys from said deserted planet? I'm not sure on that detail as I could be remembering it from another movie. One of the (many) main details that makes the movie unique that I remember is that on the planet it was customary to do some weird 'crouch, slap your knees(?), and make a sound' move as a greeting or something? Again, the whole movie feels like a fever dream. Also, the movies was made around when the Soviet Union collapsed, either a bit before or after, can't remember.
I'll honestly be surprised if anyone else knows what I'm talking about, but hey, ya never know.
resolved dragon person and his nerdy friend
It was a series of graphic novels for elementary schoolers about this dragon kid and he had a nervous, nerdy friend. Every book they would go on a different adventure. In one book they would go to this japanese-inspired forest to i believe meet their relatives, in another they would explore their dreams. They were written and/or drawn by someone named Ursula
resolved Japanese(?) horror story about a mountainside with tunnels
Sometime last year I came across a story about at least Asian origin story, as per the title, that involved a mountainside full of tunnels mysteriously appearing overnight by a village. A strange force calls to people to crawl through their assigned tunnels. They get smaller and smaller, eventually requiring you to deform and break your body to get through—there is no going back. The main story involves the protagonist trying to stop their friend from going through with it. They appear to do so, arriving just in time. The two talk and go to sleep inside a tent. However, when the main character wakes up, the friend is gone, having given in to the temptation. It's a fairly well-known one, possibly of the macabre genre, but I swear I can not find it nor remember the title. Any ideas? I also swear it has a page on this site. I am probably wrong on that count.
Edited by RewanDemontayresolved Gumball-esc Puppet Show (Found!) Live Action TV
There was this one show I'm trying to remember that was once on Netflix back when it was still on the Wii. It was about this puppet kid trio (a black male who was the main character, a white female who either had a rabbit hood like Louise from Bob's Burgers or was voiced by the same person as Louise, & a white male that I know for sure had no visible mouth or pupils due to his clothing & glasses) who discover weird & paranormal things in their school every episode such as a gun that would swap over attributes of two items (Such as making orange bananas & yellow oranges), a golem made out of tables & chairs from the teachers lounge, or what I remember the most was a time machine in a hidden part of the school, one where you have to move a crank in order to push time by a small margarine.
Edited by BagelDemonresolved Garfield strip where he changes the shape of his teeth Print Comic
In this strip, Jon is telling Garfield that he sometimes can't tell if he's happy or angry. Garfield smiles normally and says that now he's happy, then smiles the same way but now his teeth are sharp and says that now he's angry.
I dont remember about this cartoon. Just that it was a parody.
I remember there was a scene with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. And the protagonist ended in their kids' room, one of them turned to be a samurai baby or something like that.
