Das tapfere Schneiderlein
“He killed seven flies in one swat.”
Synopsis
Poor but confident and resourceful tailor David, after killing seven flies in one swat, believes he is a match for any challenge and sets out to prove himself in the wider world. With luck and cunning, he manages to deal with the giant Lothar before arriving at the castle of King Ernst, a petty ruler plagued by constant migraines. Ernst's court is dominated by his ambitious and manipulative counsellor, Klaus, who seeks to advance his position by winning the hand of the bratty Princess Paula. Klaus claims to be the only savior capable of ridding the land of three supernatural dangers.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
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.
