Synopsis

Donald Duck was featured in a 1942 animated short titled *Der Fuehrer's Face*, in which he works a grueling factory job for a Nazi-like regime. The film, produced by The Walt Disney Company and directed by Frank Thomas, was created as a satirical anti-Nazi propaganda piece and a war bond promotion. Donald Duck was used as a symbol to encourage Americans to support the war effort, and the character was also used in promotional materials for Canadian war bonds during World War II.

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.
