Why is て used here?


I got this message after asking for recommendations for Japanese media:

> 海猿て映画はオススメかな

My question is, why is there a て after 海猿？I was thinking it was apart of the
title but 猿 doesn’t need a て. Does it just connect the title with the fact
that it’s a movie?

Like “I recommend the movie ‘Sea Monkey’”. Some sort of abbreviation of って？




Just as you think, it means “I recommend the movie ‘Sea Monkey.” In this
sentence, て means って or という. I think this abbreviation is often used in
Kansai.
