Synopsis

Joe Cobb is a wealthy child who longs for a baby brother. His nursemaid takes him to the other side, where he meets some kids his age (the rest of Our Gang), and Joe offers three dollars for a baby. Farina finds a fellow African-American neighbor woman who lets him mind her infant, which he then paints white and sells to Joe. The rest of the gang has set up an assembly-line system that washes, dries, rocks, and feeds male and female babies.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
