East German animated propaganda short. One night, Flora the Cow and Jolanthe the Pig arrive in the village by truck. It is quiet everywhere, with the only noise coming from the pigsty. The residents are unhappy with their accommodation, they don't want to be in individual pens and demand sociability, cleanliness and self-service. Flora and Jolanthe want to help them. They demonstrate how the barn needs to be rebuilt. Everyone gets to work and tears down the pens. Flora and Jolanthe have brought along a vacuum feeding system, and when the conversion is finished, they can even take in pigs from smaller neighboring pens. Everyone is happy and the sociable pig life can begin. While the newly formed pig choir sings the final song, Flora drives the truck back to town and Jolanthe, wearing a white coat, operates the new feed mixer.

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.
