Synopsis

After being murdered by his rival Carface, Charlie, a dog who owns a casino, finds himself in Heaven. Determined to seek revenge, he bargains his way back to the living world, with the consequence of being damned to Hell. Upon returning, he reunites with his former partner, Itchy, to prepare his retaliation. Charlie encounters an orphan girl who has the ability to communicate with animals, which allows him to gain insider knowledge on races to secure his gambling wins and fund his plans. Throughout, he remains tormented by nightmares of what awaits him in the afterlife unless he can prove his worthiness to return to Heaven.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.0× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
