Santa Claus went on vacation, and this year his replacement is a girl: Santa Belle. It is she who welcomes the two best children in the world who are given the opportunity to visit the kingdom of Santa Claus. By mistake, the machine teleports Tony and Frank a couple of middle-aged thieves into the castle. Elves who live hundreds of years don't realize the difference. Only Sam, Belle's assistant suspects something is wrong. Meanwhile, the two funny thieves take it into their heads to steal the elves' gold, but to open the safe that contains it they will have to find the clues contained within the Puffins cartoons and face Johnny Puff.
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.
