Like all primary school students, Ma Xiaole always feels that he has too much homework to do and too little time to play. In order to urge Ma Xiaole to study, his father, who is fond of inventions, makes a smart toy called "Big Head", which follows him around all day long and annoys him to no end. By chance, Ma Xiaole meets the elf Little Yellow Riding Hood, and soon the two of them, who are also simple and kind, become friends. Little Yellow Riding Hood thinks that Ma Xiaolei should enjoy a carefree and happy childhood instead of being overwhelmed by homework every day, so he and Big Head start an even battle. Little Yellow Riding Hood is defeated by Big Head and is about to lose. At this juncture, Little Yellow Riding Hood takes Ma Xiaole into a time tunnel and travels back in time!
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.
