Non horns story time ...

A long time ago I was but a young lad living in eastern Europe and I use to watch this cartoon. The actual content of this cartoon are lost to the ravages of my memory but a few things stood out, the main character had a flying board and the opening sequence was him flying through these hallways that were broken into geometric shapes and there was a big face that he flew towards.

Sometime later especially during university it became a recurring niggling idea. Did it exist or was it some dream or fantasy? I'd get enthused once in a while and try searching the depths of the net for it with no luck.

It wasn't until I had graduated and was working, close to 20 years after the fact that I found it ! The name of this show is now imprinted on my brain.

The same thing happened to me with a few memories:

People turning into blocks and interlocking to form a city. It turned out to be Unico: Island of Magic.
Some evil guy crawling into a painting, and something about hair growing. This was a fucked up movie called The Peanut Butter Solution. This one legit scared the shit out of me as a kid and I had nightmares about it.
A guy being surrounded with evil looking puppets. This was a stage show called In Search of the Wow Wow Wibble Woggle Wazzie Woodle Woo. I didn't remember this one until the youtube channel RedLetterMedia made fun of it.

These must have just been random VHS tapes my parents got in some bargain bin. I have no idea how we got them or what became of them.
