Runtime

Synopsis

In *Late Night in the Toy Shop*, the toymaker retires for the evening, leaving a wind-up policeman to guard the shop while the other toys come to life. Their first act is to toss the policeman into a glue pot. The wind-up soldiers march through the shop, pausing when they encounter a doll. The lead soldier halts to try to impress her, with some initial success, until an elephant appears and threatens them. He rallies the other soldiers to defend her, but the lead soldier retreats in fear. A monkey then attacks, and the lead soldier continues to show no bravery.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
