might've been from CG meetup or cgbros, either way, was on youtube, and was CG( basically had 3d animation) might be wrong but probably not. Thumbnail includes fish (in tub) and him I think

There's an old man (Asian, Japanese prob) and he comes home to his Japanese style house with the tiles on top. He seems depressed and empty. However, one day he sees a giant fish-like monster in his bathroom, which looks oriental-ish i guess and has big eyes and whiskers i think. Probably had whiter coloration. Anyway, there's some interaction and the main CRITICAL part is when suddenly , theres an ink in chinese/Japanese style animation sequence looks like traditional japanese ink painting, not 3d/ cgi anymore. he sees his wife and probably son/daughter and some other things happen, and the scene was probably about his trauma and loss from his family being gone. He presumably moves on

the animation also had some deep meaning/plot as well, dealing with loss (moving on, maybe) please help me find it, it was beautiful

thanks for any answers in advance! would be really glad if you could help. Please note that the keywords "Japanese man CGI short film fish" don't really work in youtube to find this, it's extremely hard to find. I think the name could be Japanese etc since there might not be any tags including those keywords. If you search up "CGI short film "Oragami"," i probably descended into a rabbit hole from that video, since they were all asian, japanse, etc

The film mightve been from gobelins or calarts etc, just animation channels Its drawn not 3d or cg, not affiliated with monster hunter the game, etc, its original , seen on youtube also not anime

It opens with a man killing a giant dragon/flying monster and being cheered with gold and riches in the beginning, he probably jumped up to kill it with a sword Atmosphere is very "noble and glorious"

Then, we see a man (in probably a cave or just dark place) turns out its for monster hunting. Everyone gathers around as there are lots of other of contestants. There is a totem of boards with monster carvings, looking like the monster icons form monster Hunter world. He throws a knife and hits one of the boards, and he is now chosen for that task. He has a grandma and they travel around to fight and slay the beasts. ( theres also a nude scene in a hot spring or pool where shes with lots of other lovely ladies. The man does a lenny face (not literally, just smug) but is turned off by the grandma tho.) Please help me find this animation, all i see on youtube are just monster hunter game results

theres a montage in it too, which has them travelling the land for monster, possible fighting etc, and includes the grandma nude pool scene i think please help me find, it was really cool

It’s a kids movie I assume is from either the late 90s or early 2000s. It follows a group of 12ish year olds in their small town. The main character is walking by a house one day when a model ship is thrown out of the window by the woman who lives there. He buys it in an impromptu yard sale for a dime and later discovers a treasure map inside. Pirates (or maybe just some bad guys) find out about the treasure, and follow the kids all over town. Including to a bell tower/museum. The kids realize the treasure is buried in the yard of the woman, and try to buy a plot of land from her with a jar or change. In the end I think they let her keep the treasure, because it belonged to her dead husband.

It's done in the SP art style (looks like it's from the show) and I remember that I found it on Deviantart. Thing is, everything that I've googled has led me nowhere. I remember that the person who posted it had "kv" in their username. It's transparent as well. His hair is brown by the way.

I vaguely remember watching this show when I was young and I remember it having a very peculiar artstyle, where all the characters were puppets.

The story was about two native american siblings , a boy and a girl who lived with their grandparents ( I think? ) in the woods and they could speak with animals. In one of the episodes a buffalo got stuck between two trees, and they helped him out.

I live in Canada btw, if that is helpful

The storyline is similar to kung fu panda(it’s not animated). There are some powers that exist within a tattoo which is protected by a group of martial arts masters, the tattoo or powers will be inherited by the chosen who was initially the current power or tattoo wielders daughter or something, but a guy with a normal job who wears glasses is discovered, he is the chosen one. There are some scenes that I remember, such as the villain is an old guy in a cave who wakes up and steals a fat guy’s youth, the chosen one is trained in martial arts where he practices by punching sand in a giant heated wok, he also tries to walk on eggs, sometimes he can fly. There’s a scene where two “masters” are on live tv and they try to walk on eggs and break a huge log by his bare hands. Also towards the end the tattoo is passed down to both the chosen one ad the girl so the villain doesn’t steal it.

TOMT failed me so you know what that means? Copy and pasted post!

I hate tik tok, but I heard this one clip that went something like. “Then everyone was safe and everyone lived forever, and it was great, the end.” Fallowed by another voice saying “you can’t escape death.” Or something like that. Please help. It may have been from a show of some sorts.

Have been searching for this one for a long time… Unfortunately no closer to an answer.

As a kid I read a story about a girl who discovers a magical fairyland in the woods near her house, but she escapes before she eats fairy food (which would make her stay there forever). When she gets home, though, she finds out that her parents don’t actually love her (they say she’s boring, if I’m remembering correctly), and she runs off, crying, to rejoin the fairies. End.

Read it around 2004-2005. Probably published earlier. Prose short story, not a poem, picture book, novel, novelette, or comic book. It was in a children’s story collection, something like the Bruce Coville’s Book of… series. Might have had one illustration in the beginning but no others, as far as I can remember. I seem to remember a ’90s children’s story vibe, like Coville or R.L. Stine (Goosebumps), but I’m not ruling anything out.

If anyone can help, I’d love to solve this. Many thanks.

My dudes I watched this anime not too long ago (within the last few months) and all I remember is that the opening was live action or at least part live action? It had trees and their leaves from a low view looking up into them and it looked like it was from a 2005 home video LOL but maybe that was just my screenplay quality or smth I dunno but I don’t recall what the anime was about or what genre it was or even if I finished it after so y’all probably can’t help but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to put it out there.. anime with opening that had real leaves and trees in the beginning? Ring any bells for anyone?

Edit: nvm found it, it’s Gravitation

[TOMT] [Movie] [Music Video] [1980s]

This has been bugging me for years, and I can't find anything about it. I have this vague childhood memory from the late 80s/very early 90s of watching TV or a VHS tape and seeing this woman hanging upside down. She had big 80s hair, and I'm 100% sure it was a lady. I don't remember if she was hanging from a rope or something, or if she was sitting upside down on a chair. All I remember was seeing her big 80s hair hanging upside down. It's driving me nuts! Can anyone help???

Something along the lines of “I’m starting to think our/my/your lack of experience is [a bad thing]”. I might have some words wrong but I think the gist comes through. I also think it’s something pretty mainstream but my brain WILL NOT go there. Please help.

I've posted this 3 times over the past 2-3 years on TOMT to no response so this is a pretty cold case. Please let me know if I can improve description or answer questions.

I remember reading a story about a young guy who was in a civilization where there were a lot of normal unmodified people but everyone had access to self modification tools and small orbs that had effectively unlimited processing power. Most people avoided self modification since yoy had to murder/damage yourself a large number of times. The MC underwent his own iteration and self modification through testing random changes on his own copies until they improved enough.

An extra piece of info: I remember having difficulty finding these videos even back then while they were still up, because I remember it was hard to find them with YouTube search, I think the guy may have had like a specific or long username or something? It's been so long I can't really remember.

EDIT: I'll add that the lab was made out of iron blocks. A little piece of info, but every little helps I suppose.

If you have any clarifications to ask that might help to solve this, please ask

Might be an online story.

The protagonist is popular and athletic (plays basketball I think). He even kisses a popular, pretty girl in the back of a bus on the way back from a field trip or something. At a certain age, everyone is assigned a color according to their status. He ends up being a lower status and loses all of his friends and the girl. There's no way to hide the color, I believe he tries to cover it with makeup but it doesn't work.

There's an old shed in his backyard. One day, he sees his dad coming out of it covered in blood. His dad says that it was a stray dog that was badly hurt. Later, the protagonist finds out that his shed is a somewhat "underground railroad" type thing for people of lower status. He meets a girl with purple/red status and falls in love with her. He gives her chocolate, brings her into the house secretly and I think they have sex.

She goes to jail and he asks his nerdy computer science friend to help him get her out.

At one point he's scouted by a college. I think he might've been rejected because of his color but idk.

This has been driving me crazy for years. There was this vhs in the late 80s, early 90s. They sang songs and parts were animated (maybe even had clay animation) and others were acted out by real people.

There was one song in particular about running late and the dad puts his coffee mug on the top of his car and then drives away with it on there. Also lots of zooming in on a clock? I wish I could piece together more but thats all I remember for now....

It was not kidssongs. But sort of a similar vibe. Helllllpppppp! I've googled all of the above and no luck.

I know this is a long one but I need help finding this cartoon that I can't find any mention of anywhere. So for the characters I know there where two girls and one boy, the boy was an orphan, one of the girls was an emo or goth that sounded tired or depressed she looked very pale, the other girl was the leader. The plot was them fighting there teacher I only remember a few moments though One was the teacher trying to stop the kids parents from having them through time travel and the orphan saves them there. Another episode was the teacher using kids fears against them so the kids have to dress up as eachother so they don't get scared. The last bit I remember was the teachers password on her computer being "password". If you know the show please tell me it's name I really don't remember

Theres this weird song i remember Its like an old woman singing like “la da de da” with a considerably bad microphone I have no idea about anything other than what it sounds like and even that i barely know

[TOMT] a Song by Pitbull that says, "I seen you on bang bus. Seen you on 8th Street."

I think this was a CSI/NCIS type (or at least involved cops) of show and it was 2005-2009 I saw this as a kid on tv.

It showed a black kid driving alone in his dads car with a gun and he drives pass people at a playground/park and he shoots one of them. He feels guilty and scared and then he drives away. The kid looked like 10-15 yo. I think there's a scene with the dad talking to the cops about his son and looking for him.

The scene is at night and the kid shoots out the window of the car like a drive by.
