Synopsis

A little bumblebee grows weary of her monotonous routine and the dull lives of the other bumblebees. She decides to fly to the place of her dreams, where she encounters a frog who is also in search of something new. Despite their differences, the two animals form a friendship and begin an adventure together. The children’s animated film was successful in East German cinemas. However, older viewers interpreted it as a metaphor for their own yearning to escape—both from the monotony of daily life and, in some cases, from their geographically and politically restricted country.

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.
