Synopsis

Alice, Julius, and another character participate in a combined auto and horse race. Julius has a poor start when his car speeds off without him in the wrong direction, and it takes him some time to regain control. Alice and the antagonist compete for the lead, which Alice eventually captures. They pass a detour, which the antagonist alters by changing the sign. Julius, now on the incorrect route, drives up a cliff and, after a strenuous effort at the top, reaches the changeover point in third place. Alice and the antagonist continue on horses, while Julius rides a wind-up wooden horse. Julius's horse repeatedly malfunctions, ultimately losing its back legs, which he props up with an empty thought balloon. Alice's horse jumps a fence but refuses to proceed. It appears the antagonist will win, but Alice makes a powerful leap and knocks him off, securing her victory in the race.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
