Synopsis

The War of Independence has begun, and Tucker the Mouse, Harry the Cat, and Chester C. Cricket play vital roles in the American colonies' struggle to gain freedom from the oppressive English king. Harry and Tucker assist Thomas Jefferson in drafting the Declaration of Independence, while Chester composes the tune for "Yankee Doodle Dandy." The animals, including John and Marsha, the lightning bugs, also aid Paul Revere in spreading the warning that the British are coming. [Plot summary written by J. Spurlin.]

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
