Sit back and enjoy all the fun of the ultimate animated collection from the creators of Morph, Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run. Together at last, on one film, is the complete collection of award winning short films from the world's best loved and most successful model animation studio - Aardman. Including Nick Park's OscarĀ® winning favourite Creature Comforts, the complete Heat Electric ad campaign it inspired, anarchic fun with Pib and Pog, medieval tales from BAFTA winning Wat's Pig as well as 22 other classic films, there's no doubt this collection has something for everyone.
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.
