Synopsis

Sterling Holloway provides the narration for this classic animated short. A mix-up by Mr. Stork results in a baby lion cub being placed in the care of a kind flock of sheep. Doted on by his mother but teased by the other lambs, Lambert grows into a large lion, yet remains as shy and gentle as the ewe who raised him. When a hungry wolf begins to stalk the herd, Lambert must find the courage to protect his mama.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
