I loved it.

I've actually turned in a correction to IMDB because the error is
worse that you think.  There are eight suit performers, who were
credited alongside the voices when the credits rolled during the
actual film.I was very happy to see that.

But in IMDB, they aren't listed AT ALL. Claire's friend #4 is though...

The talented suit performers are:
    *  Vincent Crowley as Carol Suit Performer
    * Sonny Gerasimowicz as Alexander Suit Performer
    * Nick Farnell as Judith Suit Performer
    * Sam Longley as Ira Suit Performer
    * Angus Sampson as The Bull Suit Performer
    * Mark McCracken as The Bull Additional Suit Performer
    * John Leary as Douglas Suit Performer
    * Alice Parkinson as KW Suit Performer
    * Garon Michael as KW Additional Suit Performer


Yours,
Mary
