Iida, a lonely 9‑yearold girl, befriends an alien creature, a 3D character from a TV series, who is stranded on earth in the world of human beings. The two start a different kind of friendship in which the creature learns that not all human beings are evil and greedy, and Iida learns the truth about her father’s old imaginary friend. Iida and her big brother help the creature build an improvised device to return home, even if this means she will lose an unexpected but dear friend. Little do they know that a few competing international task forces work day and night to track down the whereabouts of earth’s visitors from out of this world to gain access to their vast energy resources.
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.
