Catalogue: Community sweep (Cartoon Brew, Aardman news/AWN/Deadline/Variety on Annecy 2026, Skwigly, Short of the Week, FilmFreeway, stop-motion.ru) chain-enriched two already-catalogued Aardman entries: added director credits for Peter Lord and new person Asa Lukander plus a writer credit for James Higginson on the announced project 'The Almost (Untold) Story of Danger Delilah', and a producer credit for Stephanie Miller on 'Let's Go Timmy!'. General batch pass over 20 thin TMDB-import shorts (Das Wusyn, Two Lesbians Lovers, Carta Serenata, Almost Humans, Bella de dia, Unravel, Nighty Knight, Look, Les enfants perdus 1, Dragged in Between, Tommy The Smoker, pennies, Whisker Dissolve, Cartography, The Dream Machine, The Overseers, Apple Boy, Midori Matsumoto's: The Life Cycle Of A Cicada, Windowgazer, Acid Space) confirmed via TMDB that 19 of them genuinely list no production company (left as 'Research needed' per the no-invent-data rule, notes updated so future runs don't re-check the same ground); the 20th, 'Acid Space' (2015, Italy), was resolved to Stefano Bertelli's Seenfilm studio with a new director credit, cross-referencing Taxidrivers.it against the existing Cartoon Brew-sourced person record. Studio-works mining rechecked Footless Studio (hanazhang.com was down; no new catalogue-worthy titles found beyond the already-listed Dear Kankan). Two long-standing 1960s Japanese puppet features (Hanako the Elephant, The Mighty Taro) remain 'Research needed' after two prior verified search attempts; not re-attempted this run. · Site: Core directory filter semantics and accessible result states · Wiki: Mechanical facial controls, Recording the voice track before the puppet moves, Palestinian stop motion
