Wikidata.org the database behind Wikipedia is a good alternative as a general database including films and related crew for instance with Avatar (2009) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24871

Although is cannot be queried in SQL, but SPARQL instead https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service

I really like imcdb, or The Internet Movie Car Database. Want to know what cars were in a movie? Check imcdb!

TMDB and many others, some specific to Anime or other types of content.
