Synopsis

This short puppet-animated film critiques American toy companies for their militaristic toys and marketing, which it argues foster politically aggressive attitudes. Catalogues and building sets produced by the American toy companies Aurora and Lindberg are examined for how they are misused in imperialist manipulation. The film specifically highlights the rehabilitation and spread of the German imperialist military tradition, which is portrayed as responsible for eroding humanistic viewpoints and replacing them with perverted and sadistic attitudes toward humanity.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
