The phrase generally refers to a section of the closing credits of films, listing the babies' given names. The custom of publishing lists of production babies began with animated films, and is still chiefly found in that medium, reflecting the influence of family experiences on storytelling in such films. The custom has also become commonplace in video game production credits.
