    Star Wars is in Fantasy but Lord of the Rings is in Action and Adventure? That’s not a criticism of this visualization, which is interesting, but of the underlying data.

      According to OOP on Reddit,they used IMDb’s dataset

      Yeah seemed weird to me as well, but the database is limited to three genres and it groups them as Action,Adventure,Drama

      this is all done programmatically, so I can’t do much about it.

        i just went to the page. it has 4 genres, the last being fantasy. they may have choosen to exclude the fourth genre for the chart.
