Synopsis

Popeye and his friends take Olive Oyl on a picnic on April 1. Bluto plays a series of pranks on Popeye, escalating in severity once they arrive at the picnic site. Bluto adds gasoline to a fire Popeye is asked to light and substitutes a beehive for the lemonade. He then turns his attention to Olive Oyl, framing Popeye in a cruel joke. The prank culminates when Bluto replaces Popeye's spinach with a joke can and flees with Olive Oyl for a canoe ride. Popeye ultimately outwits Bluto by deploying an inflatable sea monster.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
