Synopsis

It's March 13, Donald's birthday. The boys plan to buy him a box of cigars but lack the money. They do some yardwork and ask Donald for the amount the cigars would cost, without revealing their purpose, but he makes them deposit the money into a piggy bank. The challenge becomes retrieving the money without Donald discovering their plan. Donald catches them attempting to buy the cigars but assumes they are purchasing them for themselves and forces them to smoke the entire box until they become sick.

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.
