Synopsis

An evening at a night club for penguins, and a walrus or two, features a stage show that includes an appearance by a penguin incarnation of Bing Crosby, who performs a jazzy version of "When My Dreamboat Comes Home." The band's three singers also perform a scat version of the song. This is followed by a full swing band instrumental of the song, which builds into a "Hot Jazz" frenzy, literally melting some of the instruments.

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.
