Skip is a rabbit and a superhero: that is, if you count being funny as a superpower. In tandem with his loyal friend Fred, a cockroach, he has somehow found himself working for a wicked white rat, Walzer, who rules over an empire of hench-animals who dance (Walzer? Get it?) to his tune. Skip and Fred owe Walzer money or their lives will be taken - but across town, Rachel a young rabbit, and her animal friends, also owe money to bailiffs about to destroy their house. Skip serves up a twisting and turning story full of schemes and double-dealings, friendship, emotions, adventure and derring-do, as our hero learns to do the right thing and stand up for what he believes in!
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.
