Discover the story behind the little studio that could. Located in MGM Studios at Walt Disney World the Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida building gave us some of the best Disney films ever created, including The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas. The building eventually was expanded, and Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, Brother Bear was fully animated at the studio. Hear from executives and animators about the history and what life was like in the "fishbowl". This great attraction, Magic Of Disney Animation, is fondly remembered by fans and cast members alike. Get ready to become part of the WDFAF family.
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.
