Any show, movie, etc., where the majority of the lead roles are played by big-name actors. They don't have to be A list. B, C, and even D will do, although in that case, relying on their talents is preferable to relying on their names. If the character list is really big, this can spill over into supporting roles as well. In the days of the studio system, this was easy to do, but once actors' salaries started rising — which coincided with major advances in visual effects technology, meaning that the effects, rather than the cast, soon became the most expensive part of a film's production — this practice gradually declined. Compare the casts at the beginning of the Disaster Movie Era with those at the end of it. These days, you'd either need a lot of money to pull this off, convince the actors that this is just a fun breather film or be willing to settle for loads of cameos. The exception is animated films, where stars are willing to get paid a lot less just to do voice work and the logistics and scheduling are easier. It also happens fairly frequently in smaller countries simply by virtue of there being less actors to choose your cast from, leading to many faces being well-known; thus a much larger proportion of the overall acting population can be considered (local) stars. A good way of being able to tell if it is an all star cast is by an examination of the theatrical poster, if it has more than five names listed on it it is usually big names. Roger Ebert referred to films with All-Star Casts as "Box Pictures" due to the tendency (at least in the '70s) to display head shots of the cast in little boxes on the poster. Compare Massive Multiplayer Crossover and Celebrity Voice Actor. Contrast Amateur Cast, when a work is predominantly comprised of unknown and obscure actors. See also Supergroup (a music band formed from several members who were already famous for their musical ability). Expect an Establishing Team Shot to show off the actors. |

Kanon's English dub has Chris Patton, Brittney Karbowski, Jessica Boone, Melissa Davis, Maggie Flecknoe, Tiffany Terrell, Greg Ayres, Natalie Arneson, Joanne Bonasso, Caitlin Glass and Colleen Clinkenbeard. The latter two being Funimation actors certainly surprised people that they would be featured in an ADV Films release. | |

Ultimate Marvel: Mark Pannicia described the post-Ultimatum artists of Ultimate Marvel as such. Bendis, Hickman and Spencer were described as "three amazing writers", and Esad Ribic, Sara Pichelli and Paco Medina were described as "some of the best artists in the industry". | |

Superman: When Superman line editor Julius Schwartz declared he wanted an absolutely stellar list of artists for the milestone Superman 1939 #400: The Living Legends Of Superman issue and started listing names, writer Elliot S! Maggin wondered whether his boss had lost his mind. Did he really think he could get Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko— Jim Steranko? Seriously? Oh, and a prologue written by Ray Bradbury. Events proved that Maggin was severely underestimating Schwartz's capabilities... | |

This is perhaps the main reason Fighting Opera HUSTLE had a reputation for losing money despite being a very popular promotion. Quite a lot of that money was spent on all those world renowned professional wrestlers. (The other reason, of course, was HUSTLE's special effects.) | |

This was both a strength and a weakness of Super World Of Sports. It had several of the most popular wrestlers from New Japan Pro-Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling, but not all of their fans were necessarily willing to jump ship, because they viewed Super World Of Sport's parent company, eyeglass manufacturer Megane Super, as a raider who was "stealing" talent and derailing shows they were enjoying. Despite overflowing with what should have been guaranteed draws, it only lasted two years. | |

This was Ring of Honor's original business model. While it did have some contracted wrestlers, said contracts were very unprofessional to encourage an open door system. It was modeled after All Pro Wrestling's King Of Indies tournament, which similarly brought in wrestlers from all over the independent circuit, but to be on a monthly basis rather than an annual one. While a no-show without notice from Ric Flair led to ROH toning down this approach in favor of a larger, more tightly contracted roster of regulars, sister promotion SHIMMER stuck to the model, which Dave Prazak noted during Kimber Lee's entrance on volume 80. | |

Many Muppet films from The Muppet Movie onwards have a variation: The Muppets themselves are the stars, but most of the human supporting characters and cameos are name performers. And the first three films even work in cameos from Sesame Street characters! | |
