August 9 edit

What anime is this character from? edit

I have no idea as to what she is from, I have only seen in several AMVs and it is always the same scene. Nobody seems to know what she is from. Thanks. http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/69/unknowngirl.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.55.9.68 (talk) 03:41, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Matching it up on tineye, it keeps coming up in videos for Zodiac 12, which appears to be hentai. -- kainaw 16:01, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I tried using that Tineye thing and it only came up with one image which was a link to a dailymotion video that wasn't there anymore. But I don't think Zodiac 12 is the name of the anime, going by the url of the missing video I think that was a username by a person who has a video containing that image in a playlist. Also searching for Zodiac 12 in anime didn't bring any results. So I am still looking for an answer. Thank you though. 68.55.9.68 (talk) 20:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

try using saucenao which is like tineye but geared toward anime and manga images —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.167.165.2 (talk) 02:47, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There was a very old short animation about building a battle ship by animals and an eagle acting as a music conductor. What is it's name? And what production house who made it? I think it's from US. edit

There was a very old short animation about building a battle ship by animals and an eagle acting as a music conductor. What is it's name? And what production house who made it? I think it's from US. And there was other animation that I want to know the name too, I think they were produced in the same period. It's about pastry man and elves.The story is similar to the elves and the shoemaker but it's an old baker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by คิดถึงวันเก่า (talkcontribs) 03:43, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The latter might be Busy Bakers, I don't know the first one, but here are some conducted builders, and here's some boat building animals. meltBanana 20:17, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much MeltBanana. The latter is what I'm looking for exactly. But the first one is neither of them. The battleship that they built was made of steel. Thanks a lot anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by คิดถึงวันเก่า (talkcontribs) 08:11, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Jordan edit

I was watching Road To Morocco earlier, and in a scene where the ghost of Aunt Lucy (played by Bob Hope) is talking to Bing Crosby's character, she mentions a Mr. Jordan, who's from the "other side". Is it the same Mr. Jordan that is a main character in Down To Earth? 24.189.87.160 (talk) 03:48, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sort of. Road to Morocco was released in 1942, so it couldn't have alluded to Down to Earth (1947), which hadn't been made yet. Down to Earth was a sequel to—and much less popular than—Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), and the latter is what the allusion was to. It is "the same Mr. Jordan", though.

mystery singer edit

Edward J. Lakso wrote songs for two different episodes of Charlie's Angels. "Home" was sung by Lynne Marta for the episode, 'Catch a Falling Angel'. But in, 'Angels on the Street', who could be heard singing, "If I Could See"? If more information is out there, please let me know. Thank you.24.90.204.234 (talk) 22:22, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
