Synopsis

Liberty, a bulldog whose thoughts are narrated throughout the story, is the "First Dog of the USA," meaning he is the pet of the president. In this role, he carries out numerous representative duties and enjoys many privileges, which have made him arrogant and dismissive of other dogs. However, one day, when young Nataniel takes him for a walk, Liberty is mistaken for Moocher, a stray dog who is his exact twin. Moocher then assumes Liberty's place in the White House, bringing about a significant change in the atmosphere within the presidential residence.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
