Synopsis

Sylvester Cat is upset to learn that his son, Junior, has made a new best friend—a bird named Spike. Determined to teach his son about feline values, Sylvester takes Junior on a bird-hunting expedition, though he proves to be as unsuccessful as ever. Mistaking a badminton birdie for prey, Sylvester is struck by a badminton racket. Later, he launches a model plane at Spike, but the plane goes out of control and shoots at Sylvester, forcing him to take shelter in an explosives store shed. The plane follows him inside and accidentally fires at the TNT, causing an explosion.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
