Synopsis

Inspired by several plays by the Spanish author Federico García Lorca—“The Puppet Play of Don Cristóbal,” “The Billy-Club Puppets,” and “Doña Rosita the Spinster”—this short film captures the poetry of those literary works, enhancing their beauty through puppetry and stop-motion animation. "Cabaret" begins as a bizarre comedy filled with extravagance, then quickly transforms into a heart-breaking yet captivating tragedy. It is marked by a striking lyricism and a memorable ending, featuring some of the most beautiful lines ever spoken in an animated film.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
