Leo Lätti (born June 9, 1957 in Tallinn) is a cartoonist and multiplier. Leo Lätti studied art education at Tallinn 22nd Secondary School and Tallinn Pedagogical Institute. In 1982, alongside his studies, he managed to become an animator for Rein Raamat's animated film "Hell" (1983). "Hell" was later followed by the first part of "Naksitrallid". Since Edgar Valteri quit during the making of the second part, Leo Lätti was taken in his place. He has also drawn in cartoons by Priit Pärn and many other artists. As a director, screenwriter and artist, he has completed the animated film "Winter Day" (1991). Worked at Tallinnfilm, Eesti Joonisfilm, Nukufilm, Nukufilm Children's Studio and A-Film. Between 1994 and 1997, his cartoon series "Minister Tihu" was published on Mondays, whose prototype was the prime minister of that time, Mart Laar. Freelancer since 2006. Has drawn caricatures in various publications and illustrated books around the world. Also participated in several feature films as a storyboard artist.

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.
