In Progress

Incorrect entry at Box Office Mojo -- should be The Third Animation Celebration

The entry at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2386658817/ is titled as "This Is Not Frank's Planet/Snowie and the Seven Dorps/Poumse..." and labeled as a triple bill featuring those three films. However, the total length of those films would only be 17 minutes, making it unlikely that they would be exhibited just on their own. (And, in fact, Box Office Mojo lists this triple bill as being 17 minutes long.) What I think this entry really was supposed to be is The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie (1990) at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3950710/. As the poster at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3950710/mediaviewer/rm596530176/ indicates in the small print at the bottom, the following titles were all included in the program, as listed on the poster: The Animated Star-Spangled Banner: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471078/ Bonehead: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3733440/ Darkness/Light/Darkness: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098481/ Istanbul (Not Constantinople): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13710228/ Lava Jr.: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3733548/ Mr. Tao: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124009/ New Fangled: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469147/ Personality Software: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469156/ Plymptoons: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29703293/ Poumse ...: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0819924/ Reading Room: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423042/ Ren Hoek and Stimpy in "Big House Blues": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448204/ Snowie & the Seven Dorps: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0176158/ Still Life: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3740756/ This Is Not Frank's Planet: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471404/ War Story: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098620/ Welcome: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478360/ The Wiseman: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100941/ Zeno Reads a Newspaper: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0195433/ I am requesting that https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2386658817/ be retitled to "The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie", linked to the compilation's page at https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt3950710/ , and have the description changed to say "Multi-title release including: ..." with the individual titles being listed, similar to the way "22nd Annual International Tournée of Animation" is listed at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1346471425/ .

Ab_J_Sam: What is listed now is partially correct, but not exactly what I had in mind. The description at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2386658817/ now says: "(Multi-title release including: Not Frank's Planet/Snowie and the Seven Dorps/Poumse...) Triple bill including: The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie | This Is Not Frank's Planet | Snowie and the Seven Dorps | Poumse..." The Third Animation Celebration *is* The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie; it doesn't *include* The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie. And it isn't a triple bill, but a collection of 19 shorts. What I had been hoping for was a listing similar to https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1346471425/ for 22nd Annual International Tournée of Animation, which was similarly a compilation of animated short films, from the same distributor in the same year, but where BOM lists *all* the titles in the compilation under the heading "Multi-title release including". That's why I provided the links to all 19 of the titles in The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie. In addition, for 22nd Annual International Tournée of Animation, the subheader is "Film Festival", as opposed to "Multi-title release including: Not Frank's Planet/Snowie and the Seven Dorps/Poumse..." which highlights three arbitrary selections and gets one of the titles wrong.

Jolene: The *main title* at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2386658817/ is fine as it is. Either leave it as "The Third Animation Celebration" as it is now, or change it to "The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie" to match its IMDb entry. Either way, it's fine with me. However, the text *below* the main title needs revision. It currently states: *** (Multi-title release including: Not Frank's Planet/Snowie and the Seven Dorps/Poumse...) Triple bill including: The Third Animation Celebration: The Movie | This Is Not Frank's Planet | Snowie and the Seven Dorps | Poumse... *** Please delete all of that and replace it with something along the following lines. The titles indicated below are the primary IMDb titles for the films in the compilation (as distinct from what appears on the poster). *** Multi-title release including: The Animated Star-Spangled Banner | Big House Blues | Bonehead in 'Why Do You Think They Call Him Dope' | Dobro pozhalovat! | Lava Jr. | Mistertao | Nature Morte | New Fangled | Personality Software | Plymptoons | Poumse... | The Reading Room | Snowie and the Seven Dorps | They Might Be Giants: Istanbul (Not Constantinople) | This Is Not Frank's Planet | Tma/Svetlo/Tma | War Story | The Wiseman | Zénó és a hírek
