Runtime

Animation

Synopsis

This cartoon is essentially a stage slide show or vaudeville revue featuring a female singer who is pursued by a villain before being rescued by the Lucky Rabbit, who then wins her affection. Among the gags possibly created by Avery are scenes in which Oswald asks a lady to remove her hat because it is blocking his view, only to be blocked even more when her hair suddenly expands into a giant afro. Another gag involves the trapeze artist spinning on his swing, causing the audience's heads to spin from top to bottom. These are the inventive elements observed in the cartoon; nevertheless, *Towne Hall Follies* is worth watching for any Avery enthusiasts.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
