I've got one of these that's been on my mind for months:
It's an animated movie I watched as a kid, set under the water and starring fish/whales. Some young fish goes on a journey to find Moby Dick because he needs his help to save his family, or something like that, and he finally finds Moby Dick but Moby Dick is all old and wrinkly and just tells him to go away. It was kind of depressing and I think he got chased by sharks a lot. :lol
I got it from the library in the early 90s all the time, but it could have been animated in the 70s/80s, I don't know when.

Omg, yes, that's the one! Now we just have to find it. :lolGilby said:Holy Crap! I remember that! I don't remember what it was called thoughI think it was about the dad inventing a remote that could take you into tv programs, and the kids used it on their favourite show about dinosaurs. I too loved everything dinosaur related (who wouldn't?).
Thanks for the suggestions, everybody but I think it's none of those. ;(
Edit: woah, I actually found it! Complete in superbad quality on youtube, yeaaaaaaaaaaah!
Adventures in Dinosaur City
Better quality trailer ...:lol
I actually can still hum the melodies, omg. I watched this movie 15 years ago. o_o
There even was a snes game based on it:
Dino City. Looking at the video I would have loved this game when I was young. :lol

The Electric Company
Some bizarre French sci-fi cartoon:
Starts with naked humans running around on an alien world, only to have the camera pan out and the audience realize that they're insect-sized to the aliens on the planet, and the humans are thus often hunted or kept as pets with slave collars.
It was feature length, very morbid and depressing. Ends with a human resistance that assembles in compounds that resemble underground anthills (from the aliens' perspective), and this resistance either succeeds or fails, can't remember.
Plot involved an alien keeping the main human protagonist captive as a pet and becoming sympathetic to the human cause for freedom, much to his father's chagrin, a man who apparently is either a political leader, or in charge of keeping the 'human infestation' in check, or both.

When I was younger, my younger sister had this series of books that she kept on the bookshelf in the hallway and I ended up reading them too - enjoyed them as well
They both took place in the same world and there were two series that she had
Series 1: Girl pretend to be boy to take dad's place in the army or something. She had purple eyes (which was important for some reason). She pretends to be a boy for years, learns she has some magic powers, her brother became a wizard, beats the bad guy, gets found out, marrys the prince
Series 2: Girl from first book, now queen, opens up army to women. New girl comes into army, has no magic powers but ends up being a really good leader / super calm in battle. Gets her own little unit. Travels to northern area and beats up bad guy building robots with the souls of dead children
Any ideas?

I have one for the anime crowd. I saw it on the Sci-Fi channel about 10 years ago for late night anime or something.
Not really sure what the whole point of it was, as I caught it about halfway through, but it reminded me a lot of Mega Man. It had this dude, i think with a boomerang looking thing on his helmet, that was most/partly cyborg. I think he had a robot dog as well, and he was involved in a mass battle with the 2 of them vs. thousands of demons/robots/something.
Memory's kinda hazy on it, but I always wanted to watch it from the beginning because I really liked what i saw of it.

This one movie has driven me nuts for years, but unfortunately this is all i can remember about it:
The story revolves around a homeless man that likes to run, who later gets taken in and trained by a rich family. One of the final shots of the film shows the homeless man running faster than a horse. Afterwards, he lies down, starts crying and possibly(can't remember this bit too well) dies.

Ahhh the memories! :lolGomu Gomu said:
Now there's this cartoon I'm trying to remember. I remember this guy riding his motorcycle with his dog, and he used to do something and turn into this herculean warrior and his dog turns into a lion, it may or may not look similar to He-Man.
And there was this other old cartoon I remember loving, it had this greek family living in ancient greek times and it was in the same sit-commish cartoon style that the flintstones and jetsons had.
The third one is also old, it had this family who were also dysfunctional. The dad was bald short and fat, he had three kids the oldest two are this boy and girl who look like hippies, and the young one is a bart like character. I vaguely remember their last name being Boyd.
And this one is an anime I really liked, it was all about Dodgeball. I remember its arabic name but I wanna know if it ever was dubbed in english. Gomu Gomu you may help if you know it:

Well the game version of this thread helped me with a decade long itch for knowledge so ill give this a try
Show must have been on in the early '90.
English or US
featured early CG (think it was CG, or reall good moving costumes)
Live action people who wore suits that had different things they transformed to.
one of the suits had wings so he could fly.
the show seemed to be set in industrial zones a lot, lots of light brown colour.
any ideas?

The cartoon I'm thinking of was featured on a most likely a PBS show. I believe it was about animals that lived together. In one episode they are looking for all the extinct animals of the world and discover a portal/zoo/lost world where all the White Rhino and Black Tigers have gone but they can't stay. It was pretty depressing and had a strong environmental slant. What is most vivid is the narration from the main character being philosophical and poetic and a downer.

Zoo Olympics!
Now, I need some help too. With two cartoons.
One was about dinosaurs, that lived in a futuristic city. They had Robotcop-like gear and stuff, and they where cops. It's driving me insane.
The other one was a He-Man rip-off-thing, where a guy flew around on a blue dragon, and held some kind of crystal that shot lasers. He also had a bunch of Smurf-like purple dudes living in a tree, and in the episode I watched, they where building an ark.

Yes! Now i only have to search for the spanish title coz "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" doesn't sound familiar at all :lol

No but it was a really similar to this, come on guys I really need help with this.Powerslave said:
This one is not really a popular show. I think it was an 80's show but I'm not sure. It had this super hero with curly blonde hair and he wore red, the show didn't last long from what I remember.
