Things that Go Puff in the Dark: During a rip-roaring game of Plunger-Tag, Bobbin finds himself alone in the forest, away from his friends, and more than a little scared. Our hero's day gets spookier by the second, as he is pelted with Purple Puffy Puffin' Lillies, startled by little lost Muckachuck Scouts, and survives a nose-to-nose encounter with a towering "tree beast"! The Pobertanian Bean Wars: When Bobbin receives a pair of Pobertainan Flamenco Beans in the mail, the gang just can't wait to see them dance. But these beans are in no mood to make merry. In fact, they are furious with each other! Join the Threads pals as they find out the cause of the commotion, and try to help patch up the predicament. Can the bean brothers bury their beefs and be buddies again? Bobbin and company learn about the Boxed Bean Business and also, just how important it is to forgive one another.

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.
