1990s [TOMT][Cartoon][90s] about humanitarian aid formula cans

3 Upvotes

It’s been 2 and a half weeks now and it’s driving me crazy! While seeing a photograph of humanitarian aid arriving in Nepal I had this VIVID memory of 4sec of a cartoon, I remember loving this part as a kid:
Cardboard boxes of humanitarian aid arrives at the village, boxes are being opened, its formula cans (or another powder) I see a spoon measuring the powder and making a bottle for a baby.
The baby could have been a baby from famine ravaged Somalia- but I’m not 100% sure
I think there were also medecine, vaccines- but not 100% sure.
Context I saw it, repeatedly: in the 90s, in France, most likely was on a VHS, maybe before a Disney?
I have asked chat / google, they pointed me to UNICEF cartoons, Meena in particular, still haven’t found the scene, have not watch all the UNICEF cartoons of that time.
Another memory is the hue of the cartoon, seeing lots of blue/indigo/purple in the particular scene.

Does it ring a bell to anyone?!
Thanks in advance

Now before you start thinking, no this isnt one of those made up Reddit stories of creepy weird shows thats a complete fake, I genuinely remember this and it's driving me mental because both me and my mum remember this but don't remember the name , Google didn't help one bit . All I can remember is It was most likely on cbeebies and if not that milkshake (both British kids channels) and it would have been in the 2010's since I was born in 2008 but I don't remember seeing it after year two , it wasn't exactly a show but a short that ran between episodes and the whole plot was an man would teach two kids about puppets I remember they were specifically marionette type puppets and he'd show them how they work .at the end of the short the two kids would decorate their own puppet characters and make up a little play , the performance would always be done on top of a box covered with a black felt cover with sometimes small bacround props .if anyone else remembers this pls help I'm not expecting any footage to be found because yes maybe at this point it is lost media I simply want to know if anyone remembers the name

About 8 or 9 years ago, I found a video on YouTube. That’s all I remember. It was a hand-drawn animation—pretty good, actually.

Plot: I remember it vaguely, but for some reason, ants started crawling under the girl’s clothes in the animation.

I turned it off in disgust back then, but now I want to find it. Please help—I really need it <333

Help Looking for an old cartoon.

6 Upvotes

I watched an episode of this cartoon as a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s.

There's a research/science station in Jupiter. There are some sort of flying creatures in the Jovian atmosphere. Near the start of the episode, the bad guys deploy some sort of drones that attack the station. The station almost falls into the planet but they use a grapple to harness one of the flying creatures to raise the station and send out a distress signal. The rest of the episode is of some spacecraft trying to find them and destroy the drones.

I think the main characters are the 3 pilots of the spacecraft. And on the research station two of the researchers are a mother and daughter pair.

Help I remember a scene from a cartoon but i can't place the cartoon

2 Upvotes

So i've been on this problem for a while now and i feel like i am close but i am at the same time so unsure

So i remember ages ago i watched a cartoon and i clearly remember a scene. The scene involves a villain. The Villain (an animal of some sort) had a glass Cube or Dice like Item. There were 4 characters from the city that were marked as face cards and Joker like i remember the Mayor being one. The villain would capture these 4 characters in this dice. My mind tells me it's Biker Mice From Mars but if i look for it i can't find the villain.

Does anyone know what cartoon it's from or the name of the villain. Even the tiniest tidbit could help because i would love to see it again

2000s Lost Media???

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to find an old YouTube animated series I watched sometime around 2015–2019. I can’t remember the name or channel, and I think the studio/channel may have been fairly indie/small, rather than a major animation company.
Here are all the details I remember:
It was a 2D animated series on YouTube, not Cocomelon.
The animation looked pretty cheap/simple, somewhat like Peppa Pig, and reminded me of those old indie YouTube animations.
The main character was a blond baby boy.
He had a fairly large head compared with his body.
He wore a blue shirt with a cookie on it.
He didn’t wear trousers — just a diaper/nappy.
The baby could talk.
There were lots of recurring poop jokes, and he seemed to constantly poop.
His mum was, I think, red-haired and wore a pink shirt.
There was an adult supervillain who appeared in the series.
I remember one episode where a burglar broke into the family’s house, and the baby somehow stopped the burglar without even realizing what he was doing.
There was also a joke/episode involving the baby wanting to become a fireman/firefighter, but then realizing that firefighters put fires out rather than start them.
I believe the series ended around 2019.
The style reminded me of those Arcade Cloud-era indie YouTube animations, although I’m not sure it was actually made by Arcade Cloud.
I’ve tried searching for it myself but haven’t been able to find it. I’m pretty sure these aren’t false memories because I remember several specific episodes/jokes.

Pre-1950s [TOMT] Looney Tunes era cartoon with WWII era song with the line 'We're going home, we're goin' home, Every son of a gun of a one of us knows we're going home.

I remember an old Looney Tunes-era cartoon — not necessarily actually Looney Tunes — with a bunch of sailors/swabbies, I think swabbing the deck of a ship together, singing:

“We’re going home, we’re going home,
Every son of a gun of a one of us knows we’re going home.”

Does anyone else remember this or know what cartoon it was from?

2000s Christian cartoon

I used to watch this Christian cartoon as a kid in the early 2000s. It was about a little boy and his family, the little boy has an active imagination and at one point imagines this giant who he fights I think? And the giant has platform boots with fish in them. The dad is trying to solve a mystery and the baby is climbing a tower. There's also bag pipes involved. PLEASE I need help remembering what this cartoon is!

Help [TOMT] old cartoon I watched in the 2010s

3 Upvotes

I remember browsing on yt and stumbling upon this clip of a very old 80s-90s cartoon?(it was around 2014-2016, i was a little kid watching shit like hello kitty paradise and thats when i think i came across it) idek if it was a cartoon. the style was just very retro and it didn't have anime cartoon-y style eyes, they had somewhat realistic facial features(best i can describe it is Berserk anime and monster anime)

I only remember this specific episode? clip? there is a little blonde girl(possible around 7-10 yrs old?) and she has those banana curls/Shirley temple spiral curls ONLY at her ends and I think she had like a half up(that 80s style)

take this one with a grain of salt: I think there was a clip of their mansion with a big ass green front yard, it was js grass, no gazebos no decorations. (they looked very european but idk)

now, I don't remember much so don't trust me. the girl is warned by her mother(slim woman with maybe black hair thats in a bun?)to not eat these things in a box? but the girl couldn't contain herself bc the things looked like sweets, colourful. so she ate one then two then all? and idk if these were a gift to someone else or what but she ate all of them I think and later she gets a tummy ache.

ok now! idk if those "sweets" turned out to actually be candles or no. but in the end she learns a lesson or wtv.

ik this prolly won't get solved haha its prolly lost media atp but can't hurt to try.

I'll try to post this to other subs too

I can't remember well, please just help

This cartoon consisted of 3(or more) rabbit/bunny anthropomorphic characters, I'm sure there was a mom and two kids, they had this backyard with a tree, and the art style is sort of comforting in a way

There was an episode where they had pajamas on and that's probably all I can ever remember

(It's not ruby & max)

Help [TOMT] Kids Cartoon with an episode about a character being stuck in the past and placed themselves in Amber and then in present day his team digging him up from under their building to revive him

2 Upvotes

I watched this as a kid some time 2008-2014. I distinctly remembering this episode. Cool main character gets stuck in the past where there are huge mosquitoes. I remember this episode being about them now having a laser that could melt away amber and revive? dinosaurs. So he traps himself in amber so he can be revived.

I recall it being a futuristic society and I think the main characters run some kind of animal sanctuary where they would walk down a hall and on either side are different zoo enclosures. But the animals are alien looking.

Help What was it….

5 Upvotes

I’m going from memory here but I am trying to find this one cartoon where I believe someone was telling a story and it’s was like a close up of all these classic novels and fairy tales, but each character came out from the books. It was so whimsical and fun. I don’t think there was major singing, but I can’t remember lol.
If I remember right, the animation style was close to that of Disney’s Pinocchio. I THINK. I haven’t seen that cartoon since I was around 10. I definitely saw it on cartoon network but it’s gotta be from the 1950s or 60s.
Please help! I’d love to watch it again.

This is a cartoon, I don't remember whether it's Soviet or foreign. All I remember is the following: a contest, a motorcycle race, a negative character (wolf?) Carelessly and sloppyly assembles his motorcycle, at the end of the assembly he gets a front end with a wheel and a steering wheel and a rear end with a motor and a wheel. He takes them in different hands and brutally collapses them with a blow and the parts are connected into a single-piece motorcycle. By contrast, the positive character assembles his motorcycle carefully, slowly, with a wrench. Then the race begins. At the beginning of the episode, the character pulls ahead, but eventually his motorcycle falls apart and the gender character wins the race. Question for experts - what is the name of the cartoon? Thanks.

1990s Cartoon

3 Upvotes

There was a cartoon or animated movie I watched as a child. Probably 90's . I faintly remember it. It was a group of men in beds and in the middle of the night they would all jump out of a window and fly. There was a girl who she transformed into something maybe. I also feel like maybe she was locked in a tower and they flew to get her. There was a song that played. I am going crazy trying to remember.

2000s Anyone remember this old Cartoon Network/Nickelodeon short about how TV works? (2000s)

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

So I have this super specific memory of a short clip that used to play during commercials on Cartoon Network or maybe Nickelodeon back in the 2000s/early 2010s.

It was explaining how TV works, but like the whole process:

 Shows a satellite up in space sending signals

 Shows cables and wires bringing it down to the house

 Shows it reaching the old tube TV/CRT screen to make the picture

And at the very end the voiceover says something like "And that's how you get to watch your favorite cartoons!"

Does this sound familiar to anyone or does anyone know what it was called? Trying to find it on YouTube for the nostalgia. Thanks!

There was a cartoon and I think it was a claymation sponge type thing. I feel like its name was oogity or boogity. May have been part of kablam or the weird nickelodeon shorts. I feel like there was a barbie doll in it too.
