Synopsis

The cartoon opens with a tribe of African cannibals imitating Native Americans. They then perform the new Warner Bros. Looney Tunes theme song, "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down." A sloppy, stuttering salesman arrives and knocks on their door; the tribe invites him in and places him in a pot of boiling water. The tribe's queen wants to meet the man and falls in love with him. They marry, but when the salesman realizes he must kiss the bride, he decides he would rather be eaten by the tribe. The cartoon is one of the “Censored 11,” a group of Looney Tunes cartoons banned from TV syndication by United Artists in 1968 due to racist stereotyping.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
