How the Sausage Dog Work

You need to respect nature because it is very valuable

Synopsis

This Polish animated short film employs unconventional animation techniques, including cut-out, hand-drawn imagery, filming of miscible fluids, and scratched surfaces. It also utilizes non-camera methods such as direct drawing on film. The film presents a humorous lecture on the internal anatomy of a dachshund, parodying the style of popular educational lectures. At the same time, it conveys a message about the superiority of the techniques found in living organisms and advocates for respect for the environment.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
