Wow! You rule man. I'm crossing out the American Cinematographer link because it has already been implemented in the article. Awesome. Wildroot (talk) 22:18, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I like to dig deep with resources. :P No worries, you don't need these implemented for Good Article status, but if you or anyone else wants to get the article to Featured Article status, these would contribute to comprehensiveness. :) —Erik (talk • contrib) 22:21, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Reference 21

I think there is a problem with reference 21. It is supposed to be supporting that filming was finished on May 2004, but the article was published on September 2003, and it hasn't any information related to the ending of principal photography. --Danielba894 (talk) 20:12, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Same thing with reference 18b. In the article they do not even mention "Littlest Elf". --Danielba894 (talk) 21:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Fantasy?

The movie has some anachronisms and plenty of extremely unlikely scenarios, but is that really enough to call this a fantasy film? —Will^(B) 03:41, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

No, that's called an alternative reality. Fantasy requires something more substantial, like a sorcerer, a dragon or an ogre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.6.85.184 (talk) 21:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

There is no fantasy in this movie, it’s an adventure black comedy AlienChex (talk) 05:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

• Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events → A Series of Unfortunate Events (film)
• Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (video game) → A Series of Unfortunate Events (video game)

– Per WP:COMMONNAME. Also, please see other examples in situations like this concerning WP:OFFICIALNAME and COMMONNAME: Lee Daniels' The Butler is at The Butler, Marvel's The Avengers is at The Avengers (2012 film). - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:52, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• Conflicted: This one is a rather tricky situation. It won the Academy Award for Best Makeup in it's year and it won as Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. The trailer also verbally refers to the film as such too Link (gotta add the http as it wont let me direct link): youtu.be/cj-e039An04?t=1m46s. Rusted AutoParts 18:10, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• It's the same exact situation for The Butler, yet the WP:COMMONNAME still is used for the title. (See The Butler Trailer where "Lee Daniels' is spoken here.) I don't see why this should be any different. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:19, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose. At the awards databases for Bafta and Oscar, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is referenced by its full title, while Lee Daniels' The Butler is referenced as The Butler, thus indicating that the two examples are not analogous at those databases. However, at the American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films, both films [1] [2] are listed by the full title, while at IMDb, Lee Daniels' The Butler [3], has the full title, but A Series of Unfortunate Events [4], has the short title. AllMovie has both [5] and [6] at the long title, as do TCMDb [7] and [8] and TVGuide [9] and [10]. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 19:46, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
• (edit conflict) Oppose. How is this the common name? Every source in the article uses "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events", and there are several sources in the article that use just "Lemony Snicket" to refer to the film. There's some promotional material that heavily emphasizes the "Lemony Snicket" part of the title. Shouldn't be moved. Nohomersryan (talk) 19:49, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose, per COMMONAME, in fact I've always known it as "Lemony Snicket's". The difference with "Lee Daniels' The Butler" "Marvel's The Avengers" or any "Disney's NameOfTheFilm" is that a) this film is not by Lemony Snicket (unlike the others), so his name is part of the title, and b) the title is well-known as written by the reliable sources found in the article itself. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:47, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
