I saw the cartoon way back when I was really young at my grandparent's house. It must've been shown on either Cartoon Network or boomerang. The style of animation was 2D and the art style was very reminiscent of cartoons from the 1980s. Probably something that Hannah Barbarah made.
The plot (based of off what I remember):
The main character was a young white man who looked like he was in his early twenties (I'm going to call him John Doe). The mood and atmosphere of the whole cartoon is mysterious and spooky. I also remembered that the overall dominant colors of the cartoon were cool/dark blue colors. John was wandering around outside in the middle of the woods near a dirt road, investigating the area. Then something happens that knocks him down on the ground, but when he gets back up, he realizes he has been transported back in time from modern day into what seems like the 1800s (or a time before cars were invented.) Before he can have more time to process what has happened, a group of people run into John (four men and a pale woman in a purple dress, long dark hair, pale skin, and white gloves. I will call her Jane Doe) all dressed in old-timey/rural clothing. They all retreat into a cabin. Some time passes and it is revealed that the other men are up to no good, criminals with murderous intent. John and the other men get into a sword or gun fight. John manages to kill the other men in self-defense, but as they die, their bodies begin to disintegrate into a bubbling yellow mess on the floor until there is nothing left but their skeletons. John and Jane escape in a horse-drawn carriage. But at some point, for whatever reason, the carriage is moving dangerously fast and John is thrown out, leaving Jane in the carriage. She watches John fall out. She calls out to him with her hand reaching out to him through the passenger side window as the carriage rides away uncontrollably. John falls and lands on the ground, at around the same place he was before he got transported through time. When he gets up, he finds a depressing sight, the old forgotten ruins of the same horse carriage, crashed and inside a ditch in the side of the dirt road. While investigating the old wreckage, he finds nothing inside except an abandoned pair of white gloves.
Recently, I got to watch a few episodes of this Popeye cartoon that I hadn’t even realized was a thing. Released in 1987 and lasting one season, it shows Popeye & Olive Oyl as a married couple with their son Popeye Jr.
Of course, Bluto is also married and has a son named Tank. And this leads to the whole Popeye vs. Bluto rivalry raging anew with a new generation…
The show itself isn’t that memorable but it has its moments. For those of you who ended up seeing this show, what did you think?
i will throw everything i remember here
the show' cast were all animals. specifically THREE pink rabbits that were all SISTERS.
each of them had a bow on their ear. one had blue one had green and the last one it's either hot pink or red since the colors were off (since it was really old)
i don't remember if their parents were shown in the episodes but aside from them the three sisters were the ONLY characters in the show
the show was about their day to day life, the episodes were super short like 4 minutes perhaps.
but (from the network i watched it on that was spacetoon) they would usually air like 4 or something episodes in a row
the opening song was pitch black with the three sisters appearing throughout it
they never talked it was always "hm" "wah" or other sounds that doesn't require a specific language.
there was a lake near their house (not near as in the same fram as the house) that would be featured in some episodes i even remember one episode where one of the sisters fell into it
i don't know their exact age but they were definitely children since they played with toys in every episode and generally acted childish.
i talked to an ai about it and it said it was called polly and rose but i searched that up an nothing at all showed up and it said the sisters names were polly rose lily. i don't know if that mf made this up but i thought i would throw it here nonetheless.
Not sure if anyone can help, but I've been searching for a cartoon from the 80s which was very short-lived, saw it once and it was called something like Monsters - seemed like Japanese cartoon but I'm not sure about that at all. I just remember one scene where this very small pet-sized creature is taken in by some people and they leave it sitting on a counter top or washing machine or something and it grows into a colossal kaiju-type monster the size of Godzilla with all sorts of heads and limbs sprouting out of it. I'd love to see it again but have never been able to find it. It's definitely not Inhumanoids. Grateful for any help. Thank you!
What if hockey legend Jaromir Jagr starred in his own 80s cartoon?
This animated tribute reimagines the future Hall of Famer as a larger-than-life hero—complete with big hair, retro vibes, and an unstoppable tenacity. In this retelling of one of Jagr's greatest milestones while playing for the @flapanthers , we see his dedication to fitness result in a record breaking moment.
Animation and Hockey fans will be able to spot a dozen or so references in this short.

My favourite shows are Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, Centurions, M.A.S.K, and My Pet Monster. I do have them on VHS after years of shopping for them.
I had all the figures for all these shows. Such a shame my mum donated everything as I got older. I do go rummaging in charity stores/thrift stores in the toy section for toys like these.
What are your favourite shows and did you or do you still own these toys?
Please I need someone to tell me what cartoon was it. I remember clearly seeing this cartoon on TV when I was little because it groomed me into thinking that every girl must marry her father 💀
I remember that the girl was very groomed into the idea and was talking openly about marrying her father, but that’s all that I remember.
It wasn’t Princess Sissi, wasn’t Starla, wasn’t Tenko nor Sandy. (I think)
