Stuff you watched as a kid.....but cant remember

[ipop@you]

I made an entire thread trying to find this one show but no one can help so here goes nothing (incredibly vague and messed up but it was real).

Right so there was this dog-thing that walked on 2 legs, like in many kids cartoons, and he worked in a candle shop but then he broke all the candles and got fired. After that he got a job as a magicians apprentice type-thing but (I think it was the wizards nemesis) stole the dog-guys girlfriend, then I forget the middle bit but at the end he gets her back and everyone is happy etc. The only other thing I can remember is that there was some sort of fish that floated/walked around in a fish bowl.

It's a cartoon movie that I had on video so probably from early 90's or late 80's. I doubt anyone can find/remember it but feel free to have a go all the same.

P.S: I'm sorry it's so poorly written but I'm very tired and can't be bothered fixing it.

I always could vaguely remember Dragonball Z as a child, ended up watching it last year and finishing it though.

I think the show you're talking about is called The Tribe. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tribe_%28TV_series%29]

Yeah that was my thought. Quite a few of my friends were on that show. It was like "Hey you're a kid who's acted in a few school plays, have a role in The Tribe."

I pretty much remember all of the shows from my childhood, even the obscure ones that I didn't even like, like Whatever Happened to Robot Jones?. There was one Digimon I hated that I can't remember the name of. There was this bunny Digimon who turned into a bigger bunny with a gun for an arm...and a red dragon, and a yellow girl Digimon that is popular with furries. I always liked Frontier, better.

Okay, here's a good one. It was on Nickelodeon, and it was live-action. It was about these kids with psychic powers, except they could teleport for some reason. And they could see into the future... or maybe just the present, I can't really remember. And they were trying to save the world from... something.

And I think they were always on the run, so they wouldn't be discovered. Not the best explaination, but that's all I can really remember about the show.

Oooh, oooh, the Tomorrow People! I never even watched it and I know that.

Digimon Tamers, the bunny was Terriermon, the dragon was guilmon, and the furry bait was Renamon. I liked the series, but it was very different from the others. Apparently the creator was a big fan of Neo Genesis Evangelion and it came out in the show.

If anyone can name this for me I'll be so shocked (also spoilers):

(this is just the end of the movie) There are several inmates breaking out of prison, and just as they are about to hop onto this getaway truck they realize this one fat acquaintance has been shot and is stranded. One of the guys (presumably the protagonist) decides to head back to save him. Things go badly, and eventually the truck just takes off stranding them there...

God I would love to find this movie.

Edit: Context...I was at my dads place when I was like 6-7 and caught this on tv.

I remember watching a lot of SWAT Kats as a kid, but I couldn't summarize a single episode if I tried.

The polkadot door- though I was only 3, so it's probably normal

I just remembered another show from the 90s I forgot the name of, it was a "radical animal" show like Ninja Turtles and Street Sharks but it involved four (I think) dinosaurs anthropamorpised by a blue skined alien to fight with his peace loving sister, but after they didn't want to fight he ditched them and used three raptors (I forget the leader's name but I know he had hydrolic-like-jaws and a beam gun, one was called Riptor and used claws, and the other one was called Spitter, guess what his weapon was) as the series' bad guys. After a fight they later made it into present time.

Extreme Dinosaurs (how freaking 90s!) I believe. Never watched, loved the action figures.

that was mine..whats yours?

Easy, where the blazes if your avatar picture from? I could swear I've seen it before as a cartoon with a black & white raccoon or somesuch, but it's such an obscure memory that's all I can come up with.

Other than that there was this anime thing I watched briefly when I was much, much younger. Typical anime stuff with your usual obnoxious annoying Japanese schoolgirl as I recall, but there's also steampunk knight robots? I remember liking it compared to all the other anime shows because it had giant robots sword fighting and a badass theme song. Was also very European style with knights and such as opposed to samurai, ninja and all that. Which I loved because even then I had a love for medieval pageantry.

Two things spring to mind as shows that I've forgotten but know I watched as a kid.

The first was a animated TV show that essentially was a group of people traveling the stars in a large ship (it was actually a ship, not a space ship) and they all had psychic powers, if memory serves.

The second is a movie I saw once and can remember only a couple of details about. If memory serves (as it so rarely does) it took place in a domed city that was ruled by robots. The main character had at least part of his arm replaced by a robotic prosthetic, which freaked the main female character out. The city was ruled by a nerdy kid who, at one point, amused himself by causing a robot to smash itself against the ground. If memory serves there was a rock and roll soundtrack to it, as well.

No, it wasn't Heavy Metal.

Any help on either would be greatly appreciated since it's been driving me up the wall for a while now.

mabye the artstyle is similar, but no, I doubt its from that cartoon

aside from the "red dead redemption" theme, its the main chrachter from "Footrot flats" a new zealand comic strip that was most popular in the 80's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footrot_Flats

there was also a footrot flats animated movie, though that was in colour

The Vision of Escaflowne [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vision_of_Escaflowne], I'd guess.

There was a show that I use to love called Pinwheel... my dad used to love watching it with me. I think it was kind of like a Sesame Street knock-off, but I honestly don't remember a single thing about it except the theme song.

So is this going to be another Candle Cove derailed thread?!

So you remember Candle Cove too? I think that was the name... it was weird...

Oddly enough I have seen that movie but no it turns out I was thinking of something else despite that, go figure.

Yep, that's the one. Doubt I'll ever watch it again but still it's nice to know I didn't dream the whole thing up.
