Synopsis

The children organize a circus performance at a local hotel, featuring various pets and domestic animals dressed as circus animals, with the dachshund dressed as a seal being a particularly charming sight. However, the animals escape and cause chaos among the hotel guests, including a drunk character portrayed by Oliver Hardy.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
