Shows you thought were a fever dream but ended up being real

Boohbah

It's just Sky High but it sucks

Interesting example I thought of: During a discussion of "nostalgic media," a high school classmate of mine once insisted that she really loved a cartoon about "critters saving the forest" and a "balloon" as a kid. No one seemed to know what this movie was, heck, I was an animation fanatic (and still am) but even I had no clue. I randomly ran across this movie on the internet years later (I think I spotted a DVD cover)-"Once Upon a Forest." Apparently, Hanna Barbera of all companies helped make this thing, and it was a financial failure. It did do a bit better on VHS sales for what it's worth.

3-2-1 Penguins! is definitely something that lives in the dark recesses of my memory and just pops up randomly every now and then. I was a big VeggieTales kid, and I watched 3-2-1 Penguins! too, just not as often. Most of my memories of it consist of Kevin lol.

Animals United, a Lion King bootleg that was kind of a Jukebox Musical (which had Splish Splash of all things and the first song terrified me once). Apparently there is a sequel, Pets United.

Another one...Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders.

I must have watched it when I was four or five. My brothers teased me because it was a girly show, so I only watched a few episodes. For the longest time, I thought it was Sailor Moon because it was about a blonde magical girl and her friends. They also had gems and a cat sidekick similar to Sailor Moon. But every time I talked about it, people told me "That wasn't Sailor Moon". I had some horrible ex-friend who kept teasing me saying I made it up and it's not real. It wasn't until I was on a forum talking about it that someone ID it.
