Roaring Lions at Home is a 1924 short comedy film directed by Philadelphian director, Benjamin Stoloff. The film starred Oliver Hardy, although this is unconfirmed by the Internet Movie Database. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is an online database of information related to movies, television shows, actors, production crew personnel, video games, and most recently, fictional characters featured in visual entertainment media. IMDb launched on October 17, 1990, and in 1998 was acquired by Amazon.com. The IMDb originated from two lists started as independent projects in early 1989 by participants in the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies. In each case, a single maintainer recorded items emailed by newsgroup readers, and posted updated versions of his list from time to time.
