Synopsis

Benji is a stray dog who has managed to win the affection of several townspeople, who regularly offer him food and attention when he visits. Among his favorites are two children who frequently feed and play with him, despite their parents' disapproval. When the children are kidnapped, the parents and local police are unable to locate them. Benji is the only one who can track them down, but the question remains whether he will arrive in time. If he succeeds in rescuing the children, he may also find the permanent home he has long desired.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
