These have been bugging me for years.

1. Was the opening sequence to what, I think, was a series. I saw this between the ages of 6-8 (so, 1996-1998) while visiting relatives who had a cousin near my age and I don’t have a clue if it was old or new at the time.

This is really vague, but here goes:

There is singing, I want to say the singer is female.  
“Bandits” scale a brick wall. I want to say they are wearing masks across their eyes (think raccoon) and might have capes.  
It may have been educational in nature.

1. This one WAS series and I saw it before 1995. It had hammerhead sharks and that is all I remember.

2. I wanna say this one was a movie and I have no idea when I saw it, but I’m sure it was before 2000.

It was some sort of fantasy setting where the bad guy caused a once beautiful place to become some sort of toxic waste dump. It wasn’t Ferngully, the one with the rodents, or Captain Planet.

Sorry, for the vagueness.

[Not the cartoon you are thinking of I’m sure, but I had to share.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-jzgKIpQWg)

Why did I have to share, you ask? Just spreading the Gospel, is all.

1. Might have been, but I’m not 100% sure.
2. Nope. Saw that when I was older and it definently was not what I’m remembering.

It seemed darker to me at the time. I don’t think that’s it.
