There was an educational kid show with talking dot, question mark and exclamation mark. Anyone remembers that? I really want to see how cgi of characters aged.
I happen to remember this one show with yellow rabbit puppets, and I think one of them wore a purple shirt. I vaguely remember it being called Don’t Disturb the Neighbors, or something along those lines.

There was a show I watched when I was young (probably making the show from around 1990-2000, but it might be older). The show had lions (I don't think it's Kimba). One episode had the protagonist lion leg get caught in a bear trap and I remember it being pretty unsettling.
Later episodes had a plotline of the animals going in a large convoy, due to some reason.

imdb's "I Need To Know" board used to be the perfect place to ask these type of questions, I got a lot of answers there even when I didn't have much to go on.
One reason why to bemoan the loss of those forums.

I saw a TV series about this kid who's trying to live a normal life except his dad is a vampire, and this kid becomes friends with another kid whose dad is a vampire hunter, it was a UK based show I believe.
(Edit: it's Young Dracula)

I miss the imdb forums so much.
Anyone remember the movie about how the military brought toys to life and some show up in some kids room and tried to kill him? I wish I could describe it better but that’s straight up all I remember
does anyone know a crappy 3d animated kids film about 2 deer siblings and the older one is increasingly spiteful of the other one until a tyrannical wolf appears out of nowhere? Saw it on netflix once, watched it, and forgot all details.

Small Soldiers?
I know, it was such a great, all purpose forum.
Their heyday was already long gone by the time they were shut down, but they were still worthwhile, even years later I have to keep reminding myself that I can't just hop on a movie's imdb board anymore sometimes, it sucks.

Possibly Young Dracula, a CBBC show from a few years back.

I remember my parents renting me some video as a kid. I think it was some show from TLC back in the 90s when they were about learning and not reality shows. I'd love to see it again. Sorry, very vague. I think there was a washing machine involved.

Just last year, I went on a scavenger hunt to track down all those shows/movies I watched as a kid, but for the life of me could not remember the names of. Fortunately, I found them all.
Here were some of them:
Here were some of them:
Fluppy Dogs
Fluppy Dogs was something I remembered seeing as a kid, but I always assumed it was a false memory. I mean color coded magical dogs? It sounded like I conflated Care Bears and Pound Puppies in my mind. Out of curiosity, I decided to look it up to see if such a thing actually existed and it did. Apparently, it was a TV special that was made as a potential pilot for a Disney TV show that didn't get picked up.
The Dragon That Wasn't (Or Was He?)
I distinctly remember watching this movie as a kid, and as I got older, I thought about it and "Yeah, a bear that raises a baby dragon...that's weird, right?". Funny how as kids we just don't question anything, lol. Anyways, this is a Dutch animated film that I saw dubbed into English. Its still really weird.
VideoSmarts
One memory I have from my youth is my older brother getting these videos for Christmas and there was a little play board to go with it and interact with the puppet led training material on screen. I could never remember the right name of it. I kept calling it "TV Teddy" which as it turns out was something else entirely (i.e. A Teddy Ruxpin knockoff with the doll talking during a specialized video). I would describe it to people and nobody knew what I was talking about, and even my brother couldn't recall the name of it.
I looked up preschool teaching shows online and FINALLY stumbled across VideoSmarts, which is the one I remembered my brother having.
Flight With Dragons
This was a movie I remember watching on the Disney channel, of all places. I saw a commercial for it and thought "Dragons, magic...I'm down!" or whatever the 5 year old equivalent of that is. Anyways, I saw the movie, and I remembered liking it, but I never saw it again and ultimately forgot the name of it. I would ask people about it and describe it, and nobody knew what I was talking about.
When I asked about it, people would instantly go "You mean the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon?" and while the movie has a D&D flare, I knew it wasn't that. But alas, nobody could point me in the right direction.
Finally, I remembered one key aspect of the film that gave me the clue I needed: I remembered the voice of the villain being cool, deep, and distinct. So in my knowledge of voice actors, I thought of all the ones that have cool deep voices: Tony Jay, Brock Peters, Keith David, Tony Todd, Leonard Nimoy, Roscoe Lee Browne...I went down the list of their filmographies, but I couldn't find any title that matched what I was looking for. Finally, I checked out Mr. Darth Vader himself, James Earl Jones. And sure enough BOOM! There it was, Flight with Dragons was listed in his voice acting work. I look up clips on Youtube and that was exactly the movie I was thinking of.
I actually enjoyed watching it again too because the animation is done by the same folk that did The Hobbit animated film, a personal favorite of mine, so it looked great and had a classier feel to it.

One night years ago, I randomly found a movie through channel surfing but never bothered to look up the name of it. If I recall the plot, some young woman was complaining about her boy friend's lack of interest/affection and said what I believe was, "We have a tit for tat relationship, my tit for his tat." I think this was the same movie where said bf tries to send flowers only to have the delivery guy sign his name instead because the latter had a secret crush on her and wanted to treat her like she wanted to be.
Was it "Simba the king lion"?
