Elf on the Shelf Video Franchise

While adding my videos to our Plex library, I noticed a few titles for the Elf Pets video franchise were wrong but they each had the correct title listed underneath as an "a.k.a.".  Upon looking deeper, I noticed the information on the original video, "An Elf's Story: The Elf on the Shelf" has release dates that aren't even possible.  The dates for all countries except the U.S. have a 2010 date but since the video wasn't even created or broadcast on CBS until 2011, those dates are not real.

Another title is "Elf Pets: A Fox Cub's Christmas Tale".  When you search for it the title is now "Mrs. Miracle Animals: An Squirrel's Princess Bride" but this video has nothing to do with the "Mrs. Miracle" film franchise, nor Debbie Macomber (author of Mrs. Miracle book, nor a squirrel.  It also has release dates not possible.  When you play the video the opening titles list it as "Elf Pets: A Fox Cub's Christmas Tale".  "Elf Pets: Santa's St. Bernards Save Christmas" was never known as "Enchanted Animals: A Chihuahua to the Rescue", it's not on the video and the film is about St. Bernard's, not Chihuahuas.

Any idea on how to change this information.  I tried editing the page but, once I got past the formatting issues, all I get is messages saying that the change I'm submitting has no effect or problems with the release year.

Try going to this specific page and editing the release dates. Click "Edit page" at the bottom of the page.

Somebody sabotaged the pages with fake movie names. 

Looks like the alternate names simply need to be deleted. You can try doing that, and if your deletions are not accepted, IMDb staff can help do this if you report back here.
