Queen Chantawee is banished from the Kingdom when she gives birth to what appears to be a conch and goes to live in the forest as this a sign of past misdeeds in her previous lives. However there is a child inside the conch shell who comes out occasionally to do chores like housecleaning. When his mother realizes there is a child in the shell she breaks it and he comes out to live in their house. He has many mysterious powers and can change the way he looks anytime he wants. Returning as paupers to the Kingdom years later they are eventually recognized and propelled into high society. He is chosen to be the main player in a game against an opposing Kingdom that wishes to go to war. The outcome of the game will decide if there is war or not.
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.
