Synopsis

Young Leo leads a difficult life, as his family fails to understand his choice to be a vegetarian lion. His loneliness is short-lived when he meets Avoria, the elephant queen, who has recently given birth to two calves with braided tails. Mysteriously widowed, Avoria is pursued by the dapper Zanco. Through a series of unfortunate events, she becomes separated from her young. Leo takes it upon himself to care for them, setting off on a journey to find the legendary Milk Lake, during which he encounters a variety of incredible adventures. This fable, which concludes on a happy note, addresses the themes of diversity and racism with engaging originality.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
