Synopsis

In the fictional town of Lazy Town (population 123½), the Black residents are depicted as lazy, napping, and attracting flies. They are so lethargic that even their fights occur in slow motion. A riverboat arrives bringing a "red hot mama," who quickly energizes the town. Before long, the residents are dancing to a Harlem boogie beat, scrubbing clothes, and eating watermelon. As the boogie-woogie music concludes, the woman lifts her skirt, revealing her large bottom with the word "The End" written on it.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
