The fairy tale of the little mermaid begins on a beautiful day when, during a sudden, violent storm, the prince's ship is wrecked with all hands lost. The prince is saved by the little mermaid, who sings a beautiful song for him with her lovely, pure voice. Unfortunately, her father forbids her from having any contact with the human world. Just before the prince wakes up, the little mermaid quickly dives back into the sea. When the prince wakes up, he only remembers a beautiful voice, but whose? The girl with this beautiful voice must become his bride! And so begins the prince's search for his bride. The evil sea witch has heard and seen everything in her magic ball. She thinks this is the perfect opportunity to find a husband for her stupid and ugly daughter. The sea witch devises a wicked plan to keep the little mermaid and the handsome prince apart. Will the sea witch succeed, or will true love prevail?

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.
