INDEXER NOTES (SPOILERS!)

Release—The date differs between <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0290382%2Freleaseinfo'>IMDb</a> (25 April 2003) and <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FA_Wrinkle_in_Time_%282003_film%29'>Wikipedia</a> (24 April 2003). We are going with the 25th because it matches <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indiewire.com%2F2003%2F04%2F6th-sprockets-fest-welcomes-kids-in-toronto-79823%2F'>contemporaneous news articles</a>, while the date of the 24th seemed to be used only in articles writing about the past. The TV debut in the US was a three-hour episode of <i>The Wonderful World of Disney</i> broadcast on ABC-TV on 10 May 2004.
