Any way to edit movie info once Plex sets it? Cast and "Related Movies" ?

Plex has decided that my movie “Sleeping Beauty (2011)” - an independent film from Australia - is actually Sleeping Beauty from 1959 - a Disney animated classic. No amount of “Fix Match” will solve it. No matter which agent I choose it reverts to the Plex agent and sticks me with the Disney description.

I was able to go in and manually correct most of the info - like the rating NR instead of G so my daughter doesn’t watch it - but it still shows the actors list and related movies for the incorrect version of the film title.

This is rather annoying but thankfully not common. However, I should be able to correctly select the movie info but I’m not. Sleeping Beauty 2011 shows twice in the list during “Fix Match” but it still puts in the Disney info.

Is there a way to put in a better agent like IMDB and get rid of Plex agent which clearly doesn’t work right?

This is not the right way to go. it will create more issues down the line.
I’m confident we can solve this better.

Please post the Plex XML info of this movie.

Please tell also, which line is at the top under
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
and
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase

Drag the line ‘Local Media Assets’ downwards, it ends up below all other activated agents.

Sorry, that is not the Plex XML info. I am after the guid= value.

Here’s the correct xml info, but before I retrieved it I tried your first suggestion and moving the ‘Local Media Info’ to the bottom seems to have solved the issue. It changed the poster from the one I had selected, filled in the tagline, and now the Actors list is correct and the ‘Related Movies’ are appropriate.

The guid= info looks correct now so I think it’s all good. Thanks so much for jumping in and solving this so quickly!

Yes, then I assume the embedded ‘Title’ meta tag in your m4v file lead Plex to this mismatch.
You can actually see the IMDb ID now in the guid="com.plexapp.agents.imdb://tt1588398?lang=en"

If you insert it into a IMDb ‘movie page’ URL, you will now get to the correct movie:
