Around Christmas I always think of this movie that I watched when I was a kid and I can never find it. I watched it anywhere from the years 2006-2008 What I remember from it that it is 2d animated, the main character is a little girl, and she is trying to help Santa save Christmas from this guy who looks almost like Aku from Samurai Jack but the face is more human and horns are curly. He is turning the elves into these anti-elves or demons and they become all inky black. Whenever the scene is on the villain most of the time the background was red. This is all I remember from the movie and it has bugged me for nearly 15 years not finding it. Thank you to anyone who is able to help!
found the audio of this but no luck on the actual movie
i've tried:
Hi, please help me find this film that I watched in my childhood (it should’ve been released before 2011)
This 2D animated film (may have been short film) is made in a gloomy, original, dark art-style (dominant colors are grey and yellow). I don’t remember the plot, but it features a girl escaping from an orphanage by bicycle and also dark forest (I don’t remember if a girl tried to go from orphanage to the forest). I know it’s too few details, but I hope some of you will be able to find it. Thank you in advance
Has there been ANY update on that 3 hour original cut of George A. Romero’s Martin that was recently found and sold at auction? I know George often lamented that it was lost and he would have loved to see it again.
Did it go into private collection? Or is it being restored to be released at a later date?
Screw The Day the Clown Cried… 3 hour cut of Martin is the lost film I want to see!
Hello, I recently visited my boyfriend out in Florida and he showed me a bootleg Home Alone DVD that he got as a kid, the disc itself no longer works although on the cover there is a fake Home Alone 5 picture. He watched the fake Home Alone 5 movie multiple times as a kid and is certain it's another movie that has been repackaged as Home Alone 5.
Despite years of him searching, he hasn't been able to find another copy of this DVD or the original movie. Posting here to see if anyone is familiar with this bootleg DVD/knows the original movie.
Some Extra details: From what he remembers, the plot of the movie revolves around a white family adopting a tribal black kid and the rest of the movie is about the shenanigans that happen between them. Sadly he can't remember much more.
Any help at all would be much appreciated <3

Its a czech animation direced by jan svankmajer. i looked through all the sites but found no trace of it being available anywhere.
I remember very little about the movie but it was a prehistoric move and the main character is a dinosaur, it wasn’t animated, and in one of the scenes it’s the main character in a burning forest and he says “are you friend or foe” and I think then he said: “definitely foe!” Or something, please find it, it’s a core memory.
i need help finding a movie to show yo my parents as i remeber watching the movie with them many times but they have no idea what i’m talking about. i remeber it having an underground town of ugly monsters that drag children from their beds through holes in the floor underneath them and down with the rest of the monsters where they would try to show that they’re not that bad after all. i think this movie was related to peter pan in one way or another. anything helps. it probably sound like a bunch of nothing but it would be great to watch again, if it is even real lol
This previously lost film was found and was being restored by the Museum of Modern Art in NY and has been shown there.

Does anyone know whether the film has ever been put on DVD on online since it was found?
I've been looking for this movie for years. I'm 26 now, when I was about 5 through 8 I watched a VHS Christmas movie every year and I can not seem to remember the name, the plot, but I can still see parts in my head that I do remember bc at that young age, it kinda scared me.
It was a cartoon, I believe there was no talking just music, and it was clearly a old old cartoon but not black and white. It shows a house at night, the wind and snowflakes start to rush outside. Come morning, the ground is covered in snow. I believe there's a little girl who builds a snowman. She plays with him (kinda like frosty the snowman I know, but once again there's no talking and the vibe to the movie is sort of depressing and I know it isn't that.) The snowman eventually melts in a haunting way. To add, I'm almost positive this was NOT a full length movie and it may have been on a vhs with different Christmas shorts. I do know it wasn't Disney just from what I remember!
I want to find this SO bad to see how I would view it now as an adult. It was so unsettling to me as a child. If anyone has any ideas or knows this movie please let me know!!
Please help me find this movie
Weird Netflix Movie
Okay, so I have been trying very hard to find this. When I was younger, I watched this strange animated move on Netflix. It was sketchy and looked like it came out of a collage. It was very hard to follow, it had no speaking I believe or very little. This is a bit of a read, but please help. This is what I remember: There was a family, a mum, dad, and son. The dad was a businessman and left on a train. The son had a jar or something and put something like a smell or sound from hi s father and buried it under a nearby tree. Then, another train came I and the boy had got on the train because his father had been gone for a long time. The there was a whole very strange and slightly creepy adventure thru a very crowded polluted large city. Some things I remember it there was a large tv screen with news video on a building. At the time this was the most creepy part because the news broadcasters were still in the collage animation style, but with real eyes and lips. There was also a few people he met in the city like a homeless man and a dog I think. I am not sure I was very young at the time of watching this. I also recall a scene where the boy found a train, and his dad came out of it, but his joy was short lived when hundreds of exact copies of his father, all in matching suits with suitcases also all businessmen. I don’t remember much else, but at the end of the movie, the boy was now grown, and he went back to the tree, in earthed the jar and listened to it. I am not sure, I mentioned it to my friend at the time, about a week or two after watching it, but it must have been removed for lack of popularity, because when we looked for it, it was gone. Mind you this was in about 2019-2020 so I am not sure. At the time I was disturbed by this off-putting media but as a person who now loves artists like boisvert and doctornowhere, I want to watch this and interpret it today, now that I am older and can understand the nonverbal message. I have been searching for it, all over TikTok, YouTube, and even the Netflix Channel on YouTube itself. If someone else remembers this or knows who the artist behind it is, or maybe even where I could watch it today, please message me or reply to this post. Thank you for reading.
Its a movie about a dinosaur/dragon on a tropisk island with a group of animals i dont remeber the name of it
Around the Bay is an indie directed by Alejandro Adams about a wealthy father in the Bay Area who loses his job in the financial crisis. He hires his estranged college-aged daughter to babysit his young son (who's like 5 or 6) while he looks for work and eventually realizes he's wasted so much time working he doesn't know his son and tries to reconcile with the daughter.
I remember watching it on Amazon Prime in 2018, but it no longer seems to be available in any form. The youtube link also says it's not available. Truly appreciative of anyone who can find this very obscure film for me. I don't mind paying.
Hi everyone,
I'm on the hunt for a German film called Butterbrot, released in 1990 and directed by Gabriel Barylli. According to IMDb, the movie stars Gabriel Barylli himself along with Claudia Messner and Joachim Król. It seems to be a romantic comedy-drama revolving around complex relationships, but I haven’t been able to find much more about it or locate a copy.
I’d love any info on where it might be available to watch, or if anyone here has seen it and can share details on the plot or general vibe of the movie. Even clips or insight into its release and distribution would be really appreciated!
Thanks so much for any help!
okay, this might be the hardest pill since I had internet.
It appears the german sesame-street is really, really incomplete.
The Episodes from 1980 - 2008 are extremely out of order and maybe lost forever (or just dissolved in the basements of their producers).
My research so far has been contacting the studios (it were 3 different Studios that aired the german Sesame-Street. N3 / WDR, KIKA, ZDF)
Their Archive-team promised to contact me, but it has been multiple months now without any further reply
Youtube and the "ARD Mediathek" have some episodes, but they are the same you can get on the DVD (Classics "Collection") and can be found on YT. All incomplete of course.
Not sure where I could look now.
I'm out of ideas (especially after crawling through the internet-archives with zero luck).
Speaking of "Internet Archives":
They have SOME Episodes, but most of them are incomplete and many, many episodes are just missing.
And you know whats worse?
My family kept VHS-Casettes where they recorded every, single Episode when we were young but they threw it away when they had to move! "- - :-(
