Mystery movies....
Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 11:21 pm
OK, I just finished watching one of the movies from my childhood that I havent seen in a very long time: Dot and the Kangaroo. 
(Now I really want to find Dot and the Bunny; one I remember loving back in the day)
Anywho, it got me thinking of other things I have watched long ago. I remember bits and pieces of some, so maybe someone here will know the title
1. Ok, there was an old cartoon, maybe from the 70s, possibably the early 80s. It was about a pod of whales. I remember a white whale that may of been the main character. And a disturbing scene were the whales had to swim under a massive oil spill. After a while swimming uder it, one whale couldnt take it anymore and had to go to the surface for another breath of air. The others try to stop him, but of course he surfases and dies in the oil.
2. The other movie is a liveaction one. I just remember these kids/teens had a magical tv that would show stuff that has yet to air. One scene was a boy watching a horse race, seeing the winner cross the line, then turning the tv off. He told his brother(?) who won and they placed their bet. Later, they find out that the horse was disqulifed for some reason, and a different horse was named the winner. So they were mad at the boy for not watching long enough.
If anyone reconizes any of those, please tell!
Use this thread also if their is any old movie/show you dont remember the name off.

I believe I found out what the whale one was:
