Synopsis

This "duckumentary," presented in the style of "60 Minutes," chronicles the life of Donald Duck. As his fame increases, so does his ego. During the hosting of a variety show one night, Donald becomes enraged and fires a gun at the audience for misbehaving. This incident leads to a series of problems, eventually prompting Donald to seek psychiatric help from Ludwig Von Drake, who employs an insult machine as part of the therapy. After a long night of bizarre dreams, Donald realizes his mistakes and vows to reform.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
