I am adamant that this movie has to exist. It’s about two cats, a white girl cat and a black male cat. It’s some sort of oldies French setting where the female cat gets stolen by a villain cat and the black cat goes after her and tries to save her. I swear to god this movie exists but I have only ever seen it once and it was back when I was like 6 or 7. But gosh sometimes bits and pieces of that movie will pop in my head and I just can’t place a name on it or it could have been something I dreamt up..

There was this movie that feels like a childhood fever dream to me now, this kid was walking around an island and finds a pizza tree. He climbs up and tries to eat a slice of pizza when a sand shark "swims" through the sand beneath the tree and traps him there. So he puts some bubblegum on the pizza and throws it down so the sand shark will eat it and get stuck in the gum.

I don’t remember the name of it, but it was in like an anime style & it was all these different animals in clothes & this cute town with a bakery. & all the animals dressed & acted old fashioned, wearing bonnets & caps & such. It might’ve had a train station & a tower with a clock & I remember there was a bell ringing. But I don’t know if it was the clock or a church or something.

Anyway, I watched it religiously when I was a little kid, but no one in my family remembers me watching it or what it was called.

Edit: it is probably Maple Town. I probably had a VHS with one or two episodes on it. & then I probably wore the tape out.

Mac and me. I've had the pleasure of showing this movie to countless people. One of the strangest movies ever and one of my favorites as a kid for some odd reason.

It was a fake documentary on Animal Planet about dragons. It’s like archaeologists finding a frozen dragon skeleton and talking about how dragons were able to fly, breathe fire, etc.

I apparently missed the part where they clarified that it was all a dramatization, because this movie had me CONVINCED that dragons were real, extinct animals for awhile.

A movie that took place on the Ewok planet (not Return of the Jedi) where a little girl and her brother crash land and are helped by the Ewoks, and they get caught in a giant spiderweb, and one of them gets sucked under a lake and can't break the surface of the water because it'a like glass.

Robots. Iirc by blue sky studios. We still have the DVD copy. No matter who I bring it up to, they don’t recognize it, which is a shame considering the sheer number of adult jokes that I didn’t understand as a child. “Making the baby’s the fun part” like Jesus.

u/Ashitaka1013 Jan 29 '22

I obsessively watched “Bedknobs and Beoomsticks” and “Pete’s dragon” as a kid, and have never met anyone else who’s ever watched either of them. I recently watched the original Pete’s Dragon and realized I still know it off by heart. And still sincerely enjoy it. Better than the remake.

I also once watched “Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken” as a kid and LOVED it. Thought about it for years afterwards but whenever I asked anyone else about “This movie about a girl who performs a stunt where she jumps on a running horse at the top of a tall tower and jumps with the horse into a pool. And then goes blind but does it again anyway.” Everyone thought I was crazy. Thank you Disney Plus for confirming it DOES exist, I DIDN’T make it up, and got major nostalgia watching it again.
