This imaginative tale was written by Spike Milligan for his own children in 1973. It is a classic fairytale full of weird and wonderful surprises about good triumphing over evil and defeating BadJelly the Witch - ‘the baddest witch in the world’. The exciting new style of animated characters directly interact with Spike as he draws and tells their story. Tim and Rose live with their Mummy and Daddy and Lucy their cow, who provides them with milk for breakfast. When Lucy disappears one day, the children decide to look for her and so begins their adventure.. On their journey they meet all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures, such as Binklebonk the Goblin, Dinglemouse, Dulboot the Giant and BadJelly the Witch herself who captures the children and imprisons them in her castle. Like all fairy stories, BadJelly the Witch does eventually have a happy ending and the children and Lucy are returned home safe and sound.

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.
