Synopsis

Koshchey the Immortal captured the Cat-Scientist and complained of boredom, saying he had no one to torment. In return for assistance, he promised to release the Cat. As a form of help, the Cat proposed that Koshchey marry, and to avoid scaring away potential brides, advised the villain to disguise himself as a kind and pleasant man. Despite this clever ruse, Koshchey continued to fail in his attempts.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
