Synopsis

Tappy Toes is an animated film following the adventures of Pingo, a young penguin who discovers a pair of tap shoes in an old steamer trunk and realizes he can tap dance, a skill no other penguin possesses. Pingo is also unique in that he is raised by Lou and Buddy, a pair of birds of prey who originally intended to eat him but instead took him in as their own. Pingo's tap-dancing talent draws the attention of Bella, a young female penguin, and may also be crucial in preventing the hermit crab Gabby and his sea lion sidekick, Thrasher, from destroying a penguin colony where Pingo's long-lost parents reside.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
