Postman Pat and his black and white cat, Jess, return in two brand new, action-packed adventures filled with new characters and new stories. Join Pat and all the Greendale gang for the first time ever in these great all-new features: Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket: The local children set off on a school outing and are very excited to find Greendale’s forgotten old train. Pat and Ted try to get it working again, but with no luck, so they call on the help of Julian’s pen pal, whose dad is a train enthusiast. Will they get the Greendale Rocket running in time for the grand opening of the new train station? Postman Pat’s Magic Christmas: Pat has so many parcels and letters to deliver he doesn’t know how he will get his rounds done in time for the village Christmas party and make a surprise visit as Santa Claus. But help is at hand from a very cheerful stranger with a big white beard and shiny black boots – who could it be?
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
