We are introduced to the cartoon characters in the studio and the artist looking over a land map and the artist advises Dinky that he has purchased some land in Florida. Dinky volunteers to locate the property and the artist draws an imaginary airship in which Dinky and his sidekick, Weakheart, go exploring. They finally find the lot which the artist bought under the North Pole and they bring the pole back as evidence of its' location. The Eskimo Cop, who has been guarding the pole sneaks into it and comes along and in a terrific encounter between the cop and the artist, the artist is vanquished and the cop vanishes into thin air.
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.
