| | Posted: | | | |  As long as noone claims that the title for the example above should be "Julia Roberts ist Erin Brockovich" and not only (and correctly) "Erin Brockovich" the same goes for the example of the OP. Moonwalker (of course) | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

The contribution is changing it from Moonwalker to Michael Jackson: Moonwalker is this correct? No. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

| | Posted: | | | | I know this is a bit late but just want to giving everyone that voted an update on this, the Profile change was approved so it would appear that this is not considered a Possessive so that rule does not apply |

I already have my submissions for "Clint Eastwood in the Spaghetti Western Trilogy", "The Killer: Chow Yun Fat", "Clint Eastwood: Dirty Harry Collection", "Johnny Depp: Edward Scissorhands", "Paul Newman: The Hustler" and "Schwarzenegger: True Lies" all ready to go. It's about time there was some proper accuracy in this database!  |

| | Posted: | | | | I just have also a change contribution on the way that seems to go through. There is a German Blu-ray in the database with the titel "Walt Disney's Alice im Wunderland". I told Studio is not part of the titel also it is written so on the cover. But for me the titel is just "Alice im Wunderland". Am a right?

Fritz 8717418289201?  The Cover says Walt Disney Alice im Wunderland So clearly not part of the title. If it would be Walt Disney's Alice im Wunderland, maybe this part of the rule could be applied: Quote:
Include possessives if the front cover includes them, and if they are verifiably part of the title. If quotes surround the title in the credit block (generally on the back cover), check whether the possessive is within the quotes. In the absence of quotes to verify, check the font size used for the title on the front cover. Generally, possessives which use a significantly smaller font are not part of the title.
Possessive examples: "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride", John Carpenter's "The Thing". In each case, the portion within quotes is the title. But in this case, you're absolute correct. |
