This one has been nagging me for years. As I remember it, it's part of a movie. There are girls, in what I think is an orphanage, and they're in a bedroom. One of the girls is telling the others a story, which is shown on the screen. The story has a man, maybe a prince, dying in a forest. A deer comes along and licks his wound, and ends up giving its life so the man can live. That's all I can remember, and I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could tell me what it was from.

Video game (Why isn't that an option on the medium?):
For some reason I can't remember anything except the soundtrack, but I'm pretty sure it was a fighter. All I remember is some guy going "Round One...Fight fight fight fight!" and then "Round Two...Fight fight fight fight!"
Ring a bell for anyone?

An animated show, say eighties or early nineties (that when I did see this, could have been older of course). I only remember the intro, were the premise of the show is told:
We see the Big Bad climbing a very high tower or mountain under a star sky, in order to get the MacGuffin (I think it was some crystal thing), which rests at the peak of the tower (or mountain). He can almost reach it, but then for some reason it shatters into many tiny pieces, which somehow disperse into every corner of the galaxy/universe/whatever. Now, the protagonists (normal humans from Earth???) are on a quest to gather all the Mac Guffin pieces, before the Big Bad can get them into his hands]].
My memories are very vague, so I might have misremembered a thing or two, but I thing I have successfully pinned down the essentials of this

Kids catoon that I saw on Australian Nickelodeon (no idea if it was on US Nick as well or not) in the mid-90's. Set somewhere in Africa, main character was a teenage boy (dressed in an orange shift thing), accompanied by a neurotic rabbit-man and a girl who was human at night and a gazelle during he day. They were on some sort of quest, guided by two water spirits/deities (a male and female, spoke in unison, appeared in rivers as humanoids with bodies made of water and orange/yellow/red masks) against an evil fire spirit/deity.
openNo Title Webcomic
A webcomic set in Japan, really dark... Yaoi tones... A recurring image was that of this creepy yellow smiley face that sort of looked like this O_o and the mouth was stitched. Mention of anarchy... Very sexual in nature.
The main character was abused by his father, and another of the main cast was a gay, male Ganguro.

Hello...I remember that is was a horror movie, or, maybe a show of a series, were there is an empty, winter town, and there is this monster that pops up, and eats the people slowly and stays hidden. There is a scene in a hotel, a scene were they find a finger in a meat grinder, and then the Government shows up, and they confront the monster, with a scene saying something about the Lost golden army of china. the monster pops up with the puppet'd people, sadly I've forgotten how it ends. In color, 2000/1990s ish.
Thanks in advance...

Video game Ok, can anyone remember a platforming pc game that involves you controlling a bug where you have to go through various levels which usually involve colored gates you have to open to continue? I remember there was a playroom level, and a backyard level that involved giant sprinklers. As well as a special level where you were sliding through a pipe.

Looking for a film which is set in a school/college. There's an art student who's handing his work into his teacher, it sort of looks like this◊ album cover, but in pencil and drawn on tracing paper. Somehow it gets ripped up. While this is going on, the school is having windows broken. It turns out that the main character is punching the windows, but can't remember doing it. He has his hands bandaged up I think. At the end, his friends tape back up the picture and give it back to him.
It was probably made in the late eighites to late nineties. Saw it on the BBC around 10 years ago.

I used to watch this show that somehow involved banished royalty, it involved an Evil Chancellor somehow. The main character was the royalty and he got a chick with him at some point. There was some kind of magical McGuffin that was inside a large rocky place, but it was flooded while he was retrieving it and he had to leave it to escape. I think. That was an early episode, and the rest also involved getting some kind of powerful magic so that he could return home.
Oh, also it was on Nickelodeon, quite late at night.

I'm trying to figure out the name of a strange movie that I saw a clip or trailer of a few months ago. I think it's from the nineties or early 2000s. The main character was a fat man who was schizophrenic or mentally ill in some way who wears headphones and may or may not be homeless. I think it was shot on video tape and has a very unconventional structure. I saw it while looking for films similar in style to those of David Lynch. Some of this description might be wrong but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.

OK, this one's for a specific character. I could be hallucinating, or this could be from another medium, so keep that in mind. There's this character in The Simpsons who's a very bad doctor, seedy. And every time he appears, he says "Hi everybody!", and they all say "Hi, dr. [his name]!"

openNo Title Anime
An animated tv-series. COULD have been an anime, but I am not sure. The characters were all anthropomorphic felines. Only their heads were animal-like, the rest of their bodies (apart from the fur) were human. The protagonists were three typical Adventurer Archaeologists: Always hunting treasures in ancient ruins, at least one of them dressed like Indiana Jones, seemingly living in the first half of the 20th century, ect. They were two males and one female. Interestingly, the female was more anthropomorphic than her two male companions: (Caucasian) skin-coloured instead of fur-coloured, and with a less protruding and less animal-like muzzle.

I remember watching a cartoon when I was little that I think was on the Disney Channel at one point. It was about two cars (or something like that), an little which I think was red, and a bigger car that I don't remember the colour. All I can remember was that the little car wasn't allowed to play near the train tracks. At one point the little car decides to rebel, dons a raccoon-skinned cap and drives off to the tracks. I think he ends up getting hit by a train, because the next scene I remember was about the little car being in hospital.
I'm not sure whether this was a real cartoon or just a weird dream that I remember, but I think it was an old Disney Cartoon.

Does anyone remember a TV pilot called "Things That Go Bump"? It was about a division of the New Orleans Police Department that concerned itself with ghostbusting, and it had a cop named Bumpstead as its protagonist. Never made it to a series, but I found out what it was only last year or so. I'm just trying to spread the love and see if anyone else knows about it.

This might be a little too vague, but I'll try: The main character goes on a guided tour through some caverns... only the tour guide is just driving in circles, going through the same cavern over and over again, and calling it something else each time, and the main character never catches on. I'm unsure if this was part of a regular show or just a one-off short, but I kind of suspect the latter. I remember the animation style was pretty simplistic, with little in the way of backgrounds, and it may not have even used any colors other than black and white. I saw it as a kid, so it's probably not from any time later than the early 90's.
Watched this in Malaysia just a month ago, so it was voiced-over in Malay. The title didn't show.
A dark and bloody anime that had something about an experiment called Project ALICE that went wrong. They were trying to perform an experiment on a little girl with a spiral mark on her abdomen. Her village was destroyed (something like that). There was a significant toy animal somewhere.
At the point where I started watching, there were five main characters. The main character was a girl with round glasses. Then there was a scientist guy with glasses; he was eaten by a skeletal animal. Also, a badass guy with a his arm tattooed with the name 'Laura'. And a young boy and his female guardian (whom I can't seem to remember much of).
