Here are the official credits to 7 of the Shimajiro films.

To the IMDB staff, after a few years of researching the Shimajiro credits. I've discovered the Shimajiro credits on Benesses PDF file as I searched in Yahoo Japan called Shimajiro Credits.

Here is the Official Shimajiro credits in English PDF file I want the IMDB staff to review.

cast_crew.pdf (benesse.ne.jp)

Is this PDF file proof enough to remove the fake mislabeled credits from the Shimajiro film pages? Also can we remove Pixar Animation Studios from Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis since they had no involvement with this film.

211228-054544-857000

And will you accept this credit deletion request for Shimajiro I've submitted?

Also to let you know I've worked on wikipedia page for the Shimajiro credits and I would invite the staff to actually look at the credits and yes I'm aware of IMDB's policy to not rely on wikipedia for credit information. But I at least want the IMDB staff to look at it anyways.

List of Shimajirō films - Wikipedia

Let me know what you're decision, I'm sorry I haven't talked on the IMDB forum in a while. Can we resolve this issue? And I'm very sorry I rushed my research a few years ago and made some of the staff members upset, I hope the staff can forgive me.

And thank you for merging the duplicate of Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis page that helped me out. We still have one more duplicate to resolve.

Also, to let you know there are actually official English actors on Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis 2017.

Rumiko Varnes (voice/English)
Vinay Murthy (voice/English)
Mirei Yamagata (voice/English)
Yuki Toyoda (voice/English)
Cyrus Nozomu Sethna (voice/English)
Jack Merluzzi (voice/English)
Sachiko Hara (voice/English)
Rachel Walzer (voice/English)
Kris Roche (voice/English)
Diana Garnet (voice/English)

And I would like the IMDB staff to accept my request to include these official English Actor names on Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis film page.

Hi CrosswalkX -

Regarding the issues you reported:

1) There are incorrect credits listed on seven separate titles under the  "Shimajiro"banner that need to be corrected? Have you already submitted credit corrections for these titles through our online Update form?

2) For the title "Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis (2017)", the company credit has not been removed because we believe the company was acknowledged on-screen.  We will need to see the full on-screen credits to verify before we will remove the company listing.

3) I can see that your cast credit updates (for #220101-053242-478000) were not approved.  Can you post a screen grab of the full on-screen credits to help verify?

@Michelle​ Yes I can do that, here's the IMDB screenshots of the Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis credits I posted on Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis credit screenshots on Shimajiro IMDB photo page I posted on the IMDB screenshot pages and I want you to look at.

Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis (2017) - Photo Gallery - IMDb

Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis (2017) (imdb.com)

Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis (2017) (imdb.com)

Some of the company names Studio-A-tone, Studio301, Sony Music Direct Japan, IMAGICA, Roland is in English. but you can see there's no Pixar Animation Studios and I posted all of the screenshot credits on the IMDB page I could find on my Shimajiro DVD film.

There is actually an English Dub to Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis 2017 which I can't find at this time. If I can convince the Benesse copyright owners to release the English dub on IMDB TV, or Amazon Video or Youtube video. Then I'll be able to take screenshots of the English credits version and show better proof.

In the meantime, can we delete Pixar Animation Studios from the Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis 2017 IMDB company credits page since they had no acknowledgement with Shimajiro? 211228-054544-857000

The only involvement that Pixar Animation Studios had acknowledgement, is with the 2 Japanese Anime films by Studio Ghibli with Walt Disney Pictures are "Spirited Away" 2001 and "Howls Moving Castle" 2004 in the interview DVD footage.

And let me know if you've read and reviewed the official Benesse Kodomo Shimajiro Credits PDF files of Shimajiro from 2013-2019 as seen on this link.

@Michelle​ Also, here's the official English Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis poster from the Candian film festival from Sunday August 12 2018. Which it states the company names are Toronto Japanese film Festival, Anime North, Japan Foundation, Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, Toronto Anime Matsuri, JM Fest. But there's no Pixar Animation Studios logo anywhere on the poster.

I'm sorry I do not have access to the English Dub of Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis. I wish I did, then I could be able to screen the English credits. I'll have to convince the Benesse company to start letting me and Shimajiro fans to release Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis on IMDB TV or on youtube or Amazon video or Netflix.

Can we please remove Pixar Animation Studios from Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis. They had no acknowledgement in this Anime film.

But Pixar Animation Studios was officially involved with studio Ghibli films Spirited Away 2001, and Howls Moving Castle 2004 which I recently added to the company credits page.

Let me know if you'll remove Pixar Animation Studios from Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis company credits page. 211228-054544-857000

we believe the company was acknowledged on-screen

@Michelle​ I think you're just trusting the user added that data but instead of trusting them, you should stop them from vandalising imdb more.

I stumbled upon a dialogue between CrosswalkX and someone named huyvo2001 here: https://www.deviantart.com/huyvo2001/art/Paboo-Infinity-Force-Panda-poster-830168002

And that huyvo2001 person pretty much admits vandalising these pages. You should identify the user and stop them, you shouldn't trust them just because they have thousands of submissions. Most likely most of them, if not all, are vandalism.

Hey Michelle, by the way, just to let you know that Pixar Animation Studios never did acknowledge in Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis. Can we remove Pixar Animation Studios from Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis, they also never were invovled with the official English Dub version? Please remove it if possible.

And Michelle, can I ask the Benesse company to release an official English dub to IMDB TV or Amazon Video or youtube or share a youtube video of the English dub credits version of Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis?

I have the Japanese version on DVD and I couldn't understand a word they said, and I would be very happy to see the English dub version and then I could help out the IMDB staff more.

Hi @CrosswalkX​ & @mbmb  -

We have reasons to believe that Pixar Animation Studios was credited on the original release as "Acknowledged" (this credit was added by IMDb staff).  We cannot remove this credit unless we receive valid evidence to prove otherwise, such as a full screen grab of the original on-screen credits for the film.

To clarify your second question, it is my understanding that you are wanting to include content for the English dub on IMDb?  If the English dub film is available on youtube for example, you can submit this as an External Site link on the title page, likewise if the title becomes available on Prime Video or on DVD/Blu-ray, you can request to include the "buy" or "watch" links, for more information on how to make these requests I encourage you to review our Help Guide.

All credits are here: https://streamable.com/rds42p

I checked it twice but couldn't see anything related to Pixar. Can't see anything similar to Japanese writing of it either (ピクサー).

Btw, it looks like these pages are duplicate.

@Michelle​ Did you check the credits link posted above?

@Michelle​ Michelle you are right, the Deviant Art user huyvo2001 did confess to me that he did vandalize the Doraemon and Shimajiro IMDB pages with random mislabeled actors on the Doraemon and Shimajiro pages and fake company information like Stone Comics Entertainment , CJ E&M Film Financing & Investment Entertainment & Comics

For his own Deviant Art fanfiction projects on your IMDB pages which needs to be cited for deletion from all of the Korean IMDB film pages.

Also, the IMDB user perpetrators involved with the fake credit contribution are mtvsumy, xuanduy-39299, finarectoria and mygiahuy who may have been responsible for the fake credit mess. Can we consider blocking or banning the 4 perpetrators from contributing on IMDB? I don't want any more IMDB fake credit vandalism from happening again. I'm very against vandalism and fake information in any IMDB pages.

Anyways here is the official Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis credits from Benesse's official PDF file page which shows the official credits as seen in this website screenshot in English.

These are the official actors and cast members created by Benesse company.
That needs to be cited for deletion right away under Rest of cast listed alphabetically: are these actors
Ali Ahn ... Su Li-zhen Manager and the rest of the actors total 81, below it is fake.
And I even went to the Korean website pages like KMDB, Hancinema, Mydramalist, Naver and I also went to the Chinese website pages like HKMDB and chinesemov websites and did my research on the actors.
Page link I want you to look into.
Because these are the actors IMDB profile pages have been vandalized and that have been incorrectly credited in the wrong Shimajiro and Doraemon films. They need to be removed from the Doraemon and Shimajiro film pages.
Also, can you please contact the Benesse company at this link. FAQ/Contact Us | Benesse Holdings, Inc. (benesse-hd.co.jp)
I need their help in cleaning up the Shimajiro credits and talking in this forum.
By the way, when you or the IMDB staff members delete the actor credits in the Shimajiro film pages, please do not delete the official actors Omi Minami, Miki Takahashi, Takumi Yamazaki, Saori Sugimoto, Chafurin, Kikuko Inoue, Minoru Inaba. Leave them up, they're part of the Shimajiro films.

Hi crosswalk & mbmb -

Based on the link displaying the on-screen credits, I have now removed the company credit listing for Pixar.

Concerning the two page listings, I can see that both title listing are intentionally split, though I'm not certain why.  I will investigate further and if it is determined that they should be combined, I will merge them.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ Thanks. "intentionally split" thing is interesting, I researched it like for an hour before posting here and couldn't find any reason for two seperate pages. I think it might be the job of the vandal CrosswalkX keeps talking about. Or maybe someone had an incorrect assumption that both English name and original name can have seperate pages for a title?

You were also saying Pixar credit was added by imdb staff, could it be because said vandal requested it via contact us page and added by the support staff from there, so that's why you saw it was added by imdb staff?

Check this pdf file posted previously by CrosswalkX from official production company site: https://kodomo.benesse.ne.jp/open/tv/en/images/cast_crew.pdf

There's no indication there are two different films with same name. Japanese one is original name, English one is international name of the same film. There is no reason to add different title pages for both names.

Hi @mbmb​ -

Thanks for providing this additional title information.  I have now combined titles to a single page listing, and the merge should be complete shortly.

Thanks again!

@Michelle​ Thank you for removing Pixar Animation Studios off of Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis. That helped me out a lot. By the way can you please remove the other mislabeled company names? Featured on Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis (2017) - Company credits - IMDb

I have checked everywhere on the Internet, and these companies don't appear in Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis. May I have permission to delete these mislabeled credits on Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis company page? Let me know. I want to fix the Shimajiro film pages with accurate official information.

@mbmb​ Actually no, the website link page clip for Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis you showed me is actually from Benesse's official PDF website link as seen in this link cast_crew.pdf (benesse.ne.jp)

is official, I did not write it. The people in the Japanese Benesse company wrote it. You can see their main official Shimajiro website link which has the information in original English.

Shimajiro A World of WOW! Lets go outside! The world is full of WOW! Episode 115:The Hidden Lake - しまじろうクラブ (benesse.ne.jp)

By the way mbmb, we do have 4 IMDB preparators named mtvsumy, xuanduy-39299, finarectoria and mygiahuy who may have been responsible for this Shimajiro mislabeled credit mess. Can we ask the IMDB staff to block them from contributing on IMDB. I don't want them to randomly post incorrect credits on the IMDB film pages.

Also, I have been at work trying to contribute correct accurate information on the Shimajiro film pages and remove fake credits because I'm a fan of kid's anime movies, TV shows and I want the IMDB credits to be correct and accurate since I watch movie, TV and video game credits my whole life.

@CrosswalkX​ I didn't say you wrote it, I said you posted that link previously. I know it's an official link, I said "from official production company site" as well.

You're right there's a persistent vandal on these titles, adding lots of fake credits to lots of Korean names. It can be seen clearly, most or all Korean cast and crew credits here are just fake: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6634854/fullcredits

I even noticed a while ago, probably same vandal even added "Kim Ki-duk", such a high profile name, as director to one of his fake animated titles, and title page was filled with similar names with similar cast and crew roles like in the above page. So it was likely same person who vandalise these pages too.

I asked staff to delete that fake title page entirely and they deleted it but obviously there are still lots of live vandalised pages and names out there.

Unfortunately, staff often do not bother to take a real action against vandalisms like these, like finding users and cleaning up all vandalism they made, until it goes to the press of course. (I see they pretty much did nothing for your and others multiple reports -1 2 3- for ~3-4 years which is a shame)

Yes, and I think the IMDB staff needs to have strict rules about contributing credits online.

I think in the future when we contribute credits on IMDB whether it be actors, crew members, there needs to be a website link evidence requirement for every actor we post on IMDB, so we don't have this loophole for IMDB pranksters to post fake unsourced credits on the IMDB page.

And yes, IMDB staff members needs to change their current policy on IMDB contribution and take a stand against the credit mislabeled vandalism on the IMDB pages.

By the way Michelle and the IMDB staff members, can we remove the final 12 mislabeled actors on the Shimajiro film page. Shimajiro and the Whale's Song (2014) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb

I have tried to get them cited for deletion because those 12 remaining credits do not belong in the Shimajiro and the Whale's Song 2014 IMDB page. Here is my contribution number for getting them deleted.

I have explained and showed the various website evidence link pages showing the official Shimajiro credits and showed the contradiction with the actors from the Korean, Chinese film website links. Because they didn't show up in those films.

220810-013921-127000

They are incorrect and it's still giving me a decline message, Unable to Verify.

Please may I have your permission to get it verified and approved? because those 12 actors were incorrectly mislabeled on the Shimajiro film page.

By the way, here is Benesse's official credit PDF page file for Shimajiro and the Whale's Song 2014 from their link Let me know if you'll approve my deletion request.
