Why did my movies get deleted?

I added 2 movies awhile back (VeggieTales Sweetpea Beauty and VeggieTales Where's God when I'm S-Scared) and they have both since then disappeared. I added one of them again, but can I expect them to disappear again? My daughter has a lot of VeggieTales movies and I plan to add them here, but I don't want to go through all the work of doing it and have them removed.

I already sent you an e-mail, but I'll repeat the overall message here since others may be curious about the response.
VeggieTales is a TV series and we do not allow that. In general many DVDs for children are marketed as movies, while they really are compilations of TV episodes (complete or sometimes incomplete).
The three VeggieTales entries remaining in the database are two verified full movies and one stage live show.
TheTVDB is a good alternative for TV content where you can get, for example, VeggieTales: http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=79578&lid=7

What about live show? I see a lot of live show on this place (which are sold on DVD). I've added some but part of them got deleted, the rest stayed up... I'm still wondering why you only allow movie and not everything (thus becoming a bigger database). My program only accept imdb, rotten tomatoes and tmdb, and you are the only decent source in all three...
