Horrible Histories: The Movie — Rotten Romans
“Hail Yeah!”
Synopsis
A clever Roman teenager named Atti is known for his constant schemes, but one of them ultimately angers Emperor Nero. As a result, he is exiled to the cold and wet province of Roman Britain, a remote part of the Roman Empire. While there, Atti is captured by—and eventually befriends—Orla, a spirited Celt.

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.
